Construction of managed aquifer recharge structures (MARS) to store floodwater is a common strategy for storing depleted groundwater resources in arid and semi-arid regions, as part integrated water management (IWRM). MARS divert surface groundwater, but this can affect downstream fluvial processes. The impact on processes was investigated study by combining remote sensing techniques with hydro...

The challenges associated with evaluating the effectiveness of environmental decision support systems (EDSS) based on the perceptions of only a small sample of end-users are well understood. Although methods adopted from Management Information Systems (MISs) evaluation research have benefited from relatively large (100þ) sample sizes, permitting the use of multi-criteria analysis of users perce...

Abstract Over the past decades, a number of water sciences and management programs have been developed to better understand manage cycles at multiple temporal spatial scales for various purposes, such as ecohydrology, global hydrology, sociohydrology, supply management, demand integrated resources (IWRM). At same time, rapid advancements also taking place in tracing, mapping, remote sensing, ma...

This study was conducted in the Zamora Huayco (ZH) river basin, located inter-Andean region of southern Ecuador. The objective to describe, through land use/land cover change (LUCC), natural physical processes under current conditions and project them 2029. Moreover, temperature precipitation forecasts were estimated detail possible effects climate change. Using remote sensing techniques, satel...

integrated assessment of water resources systems, as one of the iwrm basic steps, is the most important stage in the process of planning and implementing water resources management. water accounting frameworks have been introduced for organizing water data and combining them with economic data to come up with effective strategies towards greater productivity with maintaining or improving enviro...

The advocates of the transition sustainability paradigm acknowledge the role of institutions (regime practices) to establish enforceable legislation to tackle environmental problems. In this respect, a radical systemic reconfiguration in regime practices is required to achieve sustainability objectives, i.e. sustainable water resource management. Drawing on the theoretical and methodological fo...

The principles of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), conservation natural capital, and water accounting requires Hydrological Eco-System Services (HESS) to be determined. This paper presents a modeling approach for quantifying the HESS framework using Soil Assessment Tool (SWAT). SWAT was used–after calibration against remote sensing data–to quantify spatially identify total runoff, ...

Abstract Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) of the city Seville, Spain, located in southern Guadalquivir River Basin is assessed applying blueprint approach (CBA). The trends and pressures framework identifies five major indicators reflecting ‘concern’ for Seville’s urban water management: heat island effect, drainage flooding, river peak discharges, unemployment rate economic pressur...

Global research programs related to river basin water resources have at least two things in common: (1) they assess and model hydrological process dynamics on a macro scale and (2) research partners jointly working on such research issues are internationally distributed in different institutions. These prerequisites require a sophisticated and scale bridging data assessment and information mana...
