Introduction The Nile River the longest river in the world has been serving as a source of life to the people living in its basin for centuries. Throughout the course of history, the Nile has supported livelihoods and played a considerable role in enriching diverse cultures within its basin. Hence, the Nile has been the centre of attention of explorers, tourists, researchers and historians for ...

A mandatory best management practices (BMP) program was implemented in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) farms basin-wide in 1995 as required by the Everglades Forever Act to reduce P loads in drainage water reaching the Everglades ecosystem. All farms in the EAA basin implement similar BMPs, and basin wide P load reductions have exceeded the 25% reduction required by law; however, differe...

Accurate and detailed information of hydrological balance, and its dynamic nature is needed to develop strategies for sustainable use and management of water resources. In this concern, a fully integrated MIKE SHE model was developed to study the hydrological balance of the Chirchik River Basin, Uzbekistan. Parameters in the model were calibrated and simulated results were validated for the per...

The delta of the River Senegal was modified substantially by the construction of the Diama dam in 1986 and the floodplain and estuarine areas on the Mauritanian bank were affected severely by the absence of floods. In 1994, managed flood releases were initiated in the Bell basin (4000 ha) of the Diawling National Park, as part of a rehabilitation effort. The basin was designated as a joint mana...

The farmers in the Bow River Basin (BRB), Canada, have adopted water conservation strategies to reduce needs. This reduction, however, encouraged expansion of irrigation, which may rebound agricultural demands. paradox requires an understanding human adaptation drought by mapping individual farmers’ decisions dynamics basin-wide demand. We develop agent-based demand (ABAD) model, simulating beh...

Southern Alberta, which has a cold climate dominated by strong chinook winds, has the highest density of feedlot cattle in Canada. However, the quantity and quality of runoff from beef cattle (Bos taurus) feedlots in this unique region has not been investigated. Our objectives were to compare runoff quantity (1998-2002) with catch-basin design criteria; determine concentrations of selected inor...

abstract to evaluate the effects of the irrigation termination in different growth stages on yield and its components of autumn’s canola cultivars in isfahan region. an experiment was conducted in 2005-2006 in kabotar abad research station. a split plot layout within a randomized complete block design with tree replication was used. main plots were seven level of the irrigation cut-off time (d1...
