Surface Water Potential Assessment and Water Demand Evaluation (A Case of Dabus Watershed, Blue Nile Basin)

Earth Observation Based Assessment of the Water Production and Water Consumption of Nile Basin Agro-Ecosystems

The increasing competition for water resources requires a better understanding of flows, fluxes, stocks, and the services and benefits related to water consumption. This paper explains how public domain Earth Observation data based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Second Generation Meteosat (MSG), Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) and various altimeter measur...

Water for Energy and Food: A System Modelling Approach for Blue Nile River Basin

The world is facing a more water constrained future as a result of urbanisation, population growth, industrialisation and the emergence of climate change. This has direct impacts on the resilience and performance of the energy and food industries, as water plays a key role in electricity generation processes and agriculture production. Water, energy and food dependencies are more evident in tra...

Assessment of spatio-temporal variations of surface water quality and prioritization of pollution Sources (case Study: Talar Watershed, Mazandaran province)

Climate Change Impacts on Hydrology and Water Resources of the Upper Blue Nile River Basin, Ethiopia

Research Reports IWMI's mission is to improve the management of land and water resources for food, livelihoods and environment. In serving this mission, IWMI concentrates on the integration of policies, technologies and management systems to achieve workable solutions to real problems—practical, relevant results in the field of irrigation and water and land resources. The publications in this s...

Surface Water Quality Evaluation under Land Use Changes (Case study: Mahabad Chai Watershed)

Not only have recent global challenges including drought, climate change, land degradation and land use change impacted the quantity of available surface water and groundwater, but also water quality has been affected as well. To study this impact, Landsat 5 satellite images and water quality data were obtained to compare the effects of land use changes on surface water quality between July of ...
