Hydrological modeling as a tool for water resources management of the data-scarce Brahmaputra basin

Hydrological data for surface water resources assessment

The need for hydrological data is discussed in terms of the type of water resources project, and the sampling of information in time and space. The need for consistent data quality is emphasized. Données hydrologiques nécessaires à l'évaluation des ressources en eau de surface Résumé Les besoins en données hydrologiques sont discutés en fonction des divers types de projets de mise en valeur des...

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...

Hydrological Modeling in the Manas River Basin Using Soil and Water Assessment Tool Driven by Cmads

Original scientific paper Hydrological simulation in meteorological ungauged areas has always been a difficult problem for the study on atmospheric and hydrological coupling; meanwhile, it is also one of the important factors that restrict model development and basin water resource knowledge. To analyze the mechanism of atmospheric and hydrological coupling, this study quantitatively evaluated ...

The Economics of Managing Scarce Water Resources

Recent events, news articles in the popular press, and research outside the field of economics have raised alarming questions about the sufficiency of global freshwater supplies and the potentially devastating impacts of current and future water shortages. For example, the 2008 Beijing Olympics drew attention to the problems of pollution and water shortages in China, where massive infrastructur...
