Integrated Watershed Management and Sedimentation

Integrated Computing Environments for Watershed Management

This paper describes a new computing paradigm known as a problem solving environment ~PSE!, explores the role this new paradigm might play in watershed management and land use change analysis, and compares PSEs to similar technologies such as decision support systems and geographic information systems. A prototypical watershed management PSE organizes and unifies the diverse collection of softw...

Satisfying Growing Water Demand Through Integrated Groundwater and Watershed Management

Saginaw Bay Integrated Watershed Prioritization and Management System

There are many reasons to develop a non-point source pollution prioritization system to determine which watersheds require the most attention. Once priority problem watersheds have been determined, an approach for directing specific actions is needed, i.e. targeting the specific areas of greatest potential erosion which can contribute to water quality degradation. Once targeted areas are identi...

Integrated and Problem-Based Management of the Watershed using Strategic Planning Framework

The study aimed to provide a pilot plan to integratedly manage the Barar-rud Watershed in Mazandaran Province based on existing problems. Accordingly, various strategies and their prioritizations were developed for the watershed. Towards that, SWOT was developed through field observation and face-to-face interviews with local stackeholders. The SWOT and quantitative strategic planning matrix we...

Proposed policies for integrated watershed management in order to combat desertification in Euphrates and Tigris basin

Desertification of the arid and semi-arid lands of the world has been proceeding for more than a thousand years.Human-induced degradation in these areas is regularly cited as one of the principal causes of desertification.Euphrates and Tigris Basin as the case study of this research in some aspects is almost unique in the world. But thisbasin has been confronted to progressive desertification. ...
