World gears up to water shortages
Earlier this year, Sydney officially opened its new water desalination plant, the largest so far in Australia and driven by renewable wind power. It is the third to open in the country but will soon be overtaken by further new desalination plants. Australia's response to the growing demand for water and the increasing scarcity and unpredictability of conventional supplies is being echoed around...
متن کاملModelling irrigation scheduling to analyse water management at farm level, during water shortages
The area under irrigated corn has significantly increased in the Charente river basin during the last 10 years. Corn water requirements are maximum in the summer, the period with low water flows and highest environmental vulnerability. Periods of water shortage during which irrigation is temporarily forbidden occur frequently. To reduce water demand, specific water saving policies are required....
متن کاملBeta gauging leaf water status: influence of changing leaf characteristics.
Since the intvroduction (3) o,f the technique of beta gauging as a method for continuous and nondestructive mon!itoriing the water status of leaves, severcal reipo,rts (1-4) have appeared verifying the technique and its appl,ication in physio;logical research. Impliciit in this applicatiioni o?f beta gauging is the assutmption that, except for diurinal variations in water content, the physical ...
متن کاملLatin hypercube approach to estimate uncertainty in ground water vulnerability.
A methodology is proposed to quantify prediction uncertainty associated with ground water vulnerability models that were developed through an approach that coupled multivariate logistic regression with a geographic information system (GIS). This method uses Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) to illustrate the propagation of input error and estimate uncertainty associated with the logistic regressio...
متن کاملOn the Vulnerability of Water Limited Ecosystems to Climate Change
Society is facing growing environmental problems that require new research efforts to understand the way ecosystems operate and survive, and their mutual relationships with the hydrologic cycle. In this respect, ecohydrology suggests a renewed interdisciplinary approach that aims to provide a better comprehension of the effects of climatic changes on terrestrial ecosystems. With this aim, a cou...
