Environmental flows (e-flows) aim to mitigate the threat of altered hydrological regimes in river systems and connected waterbodies are an important component integrated strategies address multiple threats freshwater biodiversity. Expanding accelerating implementation e-flows can support conservation help restore biodiversity resilience hydrologically water-stressed rivers ecosystems. While the...

This paper evaluated an integrated water resources management approach through linked WEAP-MODFLOW model. Study area is Ravasnar-Sanjabi plain located in Kermanshah province in the west of Iran. A MODFLOW model was evaluated and then, accepted as a groundwater model for the region in present research. Schematic WEAP model was provided as representing general features of water resources system a...

The Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM) is a joint initiative of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Global Water Partnership (GWP). It promotes the concept of Integrated Flood Management (IFM) as a new approach to flood management. The programme is financially supported by the governments of Japan, Switzerland and Germany. The World Meteorological Organization is a ...

Recognizing the interrelatedness of water use and conceptual value IWRM, progressive resource management systems are moving beyond hierarchical arrangements toward more integrated networks. Increasing calls for participation recognize broadened perspectives that provide both technical expertise as well social, cultural, administrative knowledge. Moreover, call evidence-based policy '00s has bee...

Water resources development for human needs has come at a significant cost to the natural functioning of aquatic and riparian ecosystems in the United States and around the world. The construction of hundreds of thousands of dams nationally and globally and the extensive human transformation of land cover have greatly modified the magnitude, timing, and duration of river flows that have histori...
