Groundwater Level Changes Due to Extreme Weather—An Evaluation Tool for Sustainable Water Management
In the past decade, extreme and exceptional droughts have significantly impacted many economic sectors in the US, especially in California, Oklahoma, and Texas. The record drought of 2011–2014 affected almost 90% of Texas areas and 95% of Oklahoma state areas. In 2011 alone, around $1.6 billion in agricultural production were lost as a result of drought in Oklahoma, and $7.6 billion in Texas. T...
متن کاملDeveloping a Decision Support Tool for Sustainable Urban Water Management
Research in the area of sustainable urban infrastructure reflects the need to design and manage engineering systems in light of environmental, economic, social and technical considerations. In the water sector, the main challenge for the engineer is the development of practical tools for measuring and enhancing the sustainability of urban water infrastructure over its life cycle. The present st...
متن کاملThe Importance of Institutional Design for Distributed Local-level Governance of Groundwater: The Case of California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
In many areas of the world, groundwater resources are increasingly stressed, and unsustainable use has become common. Where existing mechanisms for governing groundwater are ineffective or nonexistent, new ones need to be developed. Local level groundwater governance provides an intriguing alternative to top-down models, with the promise of enabling management to better match the diversity of p...
متن کاملPrediction of Groundwater Dynamics for Sustainable Water Resource Management in Bogra District, Northwest Bangladesh
The green revolution in the northwest region of Bangladesh over the past three decades has based on groundwater irrigation. For sustainable agricultural accretion, groundwater dynamics play a vital role in this region. In this study, the groundwater level dynamics have been analyzed with a model named “MAKESENS” and with geographical information systems (GIS). The study indicates that, in most ...
متن کاملAquifer Vulnerability Assessment for Sustainable Groundwater Management Using DRASTIC
Groundwater management and protection has been facilitated by computational modeling of aquifer vulnerability and monitoring aquifers using groundwater sampling. The DRASTIC (Depth to water, Recharge, Aquifer media, Soil media, Topography, Impact of vadose zone media, and hydraulic Conductivity) model, an overlay and index GIS model, has been used for groundwater quality assessment because it r...
