The 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...
متن کاملLinking hydrology to erosion modelling in a river basin decision support and management system
This paper focuses on the integration of basin sediment transport with a physically-based hydrological model that links the water budget model WaSiM (Water Simulation Model) to the erosion model AGNPS__5. The results of the water budget simulation are then incorporated into the AGNPS_5 model to calculate sediment transport. The surface runoff calculated in WaSiM replaces the SCS curve number ru...
متن کاملClimate Change Impacts on Streamflow and Subbasin-Scale Hydrology in the Upper Colorado River Basin
In the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB), the principal source of water in the southwestern U.S., demand exceeds supply in most years, and will likely continue to rise. While General Circulation Models (GCMs) project surface temperature warming by 3.5 to 5.6°C for the area, precipitation projections are variable, with no wetter or drier consensus. We assess the impacts of projected 21(st) centu...
متن کاملFunction of boundary rivers in hydropolitics cooperation:Danube river study
International rivers, as borders or crossing national borders, have been considered as a significant part of international relations. Especially, approximately half of the worldchr('39')s population lives within the basin of these rivers, and more than 90% are living in countries with these basins. This condition, by creating an undeniable relationship of interdependence, has made water a criti...
متن کاملSocio-hydrology and the science–policy interface: a case study of the Saskatchewan River basin
While there is a popular perception that Canada is a water-rich country, the Saskatchewan River basin (SRB) in Western Canada exemplifies the multiple threats to water security seen worldwide. It is Canada’s major food-producing region and home to globally significant natural resource development. The SRB faces current water challenges stemming from (1) a series of extreme events, including maj...
