Irrigation efficiency and water-policy implications for river basin resilience
Rising demand for food, fiber, and biofuels drives expanding irrigation withdrawals from surface water and groundwater. Irrigation efficiency and water savings have become watchwords in response to climate-induced hydrological variability, increasing freshwater demand for other uses including ecosystem water needs, and low economic productivity of irrigation compared to most other uses. We iden...
متن کاملAssessment of Water Rights and Irrigation Pricing Reforms in Heihe River Basin in China
The purpose of this paper is to understand the progress of water rights and irrigation pricing reform in Heihe River Basin (HRB) and their influence on irrigation application. The data came from a village and household level survey conducted in 2009 and 2014 in five counties in Zhangye City, HRB. The main component of reforming water rights was issuing water certificates to individual farmers. ...
متن کاملHydro-economic Modeling in River Basin Management: Implications and Applications for the European Water Framework Directive
Economic ideas and processes are becoming increasingly integrated with more traditional engineering and hydrologic models of water management problems. Combining economic management concepts and performance indicators with an engineering-level of understanding of a hydrologic system can provide results and insights more directly relevant for water management decisions and policies. When such mo...
متن کاملEvaluating Land Subsidence Rates and Their Implications for Land Loss in the Lower Mississippi River Basin
High subsidence rates, along with eustatic sea-level change, sediment accumulation and shoreline erosion have led to widespread land loss and the deterioration of ecosystem health around the Lower Mississippi River Basin (LMRB). A proper evaluation of the spatial pattern of subsidence rates in the LMRB is the key to understanding the mechanisms of the submergence, estimating its potential impac...
متن کاملThe Plata River Basin: International Basin Development and Riverine Fisheries
Environmental changes in large river basins are subject to forces external to the water and to biological issues. Before 1960, the Plata River Basin was almost undeveloped. The regulation of the Parana for hydroelectricity has been increasing since the early 1970s. Water in reservoirs of the upper Parana Basin currently comprises more than 70 percent of the mean annual discharge at its confluen...
