A Stochastic Model for Water Resources Management
Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...
متن کاملResearch for Integrated Catchment Management
Things change! The human population may increase by as much as 1.5 times in New Zealand in the next 30 years (The State of New Zealand's Environment 1997), and is likely to place disproportionate stress on the natural resources of the Nelson area because of this area's favorable climate and outstanding aesthetic qualities. Except for steep slopes and current agricultural lands, the areas availa...
متن کاملInstitutionalising cost sharing for catchment management: lessons from land and water management planning in Australia.
A recurring theme in recent Australian reports on integrated catchment management (ICM) has been the need to institutionalise more formally the cost-sharing commitments made within this domain. This represents a significant departure from earlier visions of ICM as essentially promoting voluntary uptake of resource-conservation measures. Two important questions raised by this nascent policy shif...
متن کاملWATER FOR FOOD AND FARMING Introduction
The demand for water for food production is rising rapidly. Although during the last 50 years food production met and even surpassed population growth, the forecast for the future shows a different picture. The combination of key scientific developments responsible for the green revolution, and large scale investment in water infrastructure such as dams and irrigation systems played a significa...
متن کاملConsideration of Water Productivity for Farm Water Management in Different Conditions of Water Availability for Dominant Summer Crops
ABSTRACT- Efficient use of irrigation water for summer crops should be considered seriously due to rare occurrence of precipitation in summer. This research was focused on the assessment of water use efficiency for dominant crops of summer cropping pattern in the study area (i.e., maize and rice) via considering water productivity (WP) with different water management scenarios at farm level at ...
