Abstract Shallow alluvial and karst aquifers widespread inadequate sanitation practices combine to impact water resources in Haiti. The vulnerability of is complicated by complex cultural, ecological, geological, hydrological, hydrogeological considerations. Roughly 84% the rocks exposed Haiti consist calcareous alluvium. These lithologies serve as an efficient reservoir transport mechanism for...

[1] We present an interdisciplinary approach to attach economic value to model certainty. The central theme of this paper concerns valuing certainty in water resource management, specifically resource allocation. A conceptual framework is developed to study (1) a hypothetical scenario of three water users attempting to mutually agree on allocation of some fixed amount of water amongst themselve...

shortage of water resources and increasing demand to consumption of this scarce resource, leads to somenoticeable limitations. on the other hand, population growth and consequently, increasing demand for water in aridand semi arid regions , needs production in exchange of little amount of water consumption. to approach thisobjective, an experiment in the complete randomized blocks carried out i...

Due to the frequent drought periods, water consumption increase, and competition of different water-using sectors, the Hirmand catchment is in a critical water status in the Sistan region. This threat has been intensified in recent years. To cope with this problem, we must pay more attention to different types of water use such as virtual water as a water saving method. The present study calcul...

Water is the most vital resource for the living beings to survive. India has a vast and varied inland water resource which is considered to be richest in world’s nature lakes. The physicochemical characteristic of Nellore tank has been studied for monsoon, pre-monsoon, postmonsoon in the year. From the results water body was found to be well in the permissible limit of BIS (1998, except pH, DO,...

Rising demand for food, fiber, and biofuels drives expanding irrigation withdrawals from surface water and groundwater. Irrigation efficiency and water savings have become watchwords in response to climate-induced hydrological variability, increasing freshwater demand for other uses including ecosystem water needs, and low economic productivity of irrigation compared to most other uses. We iden...

Traditionally, surface and ground water resources have been managed as separate resources in Australia, with the result that interactions between the two components have not been duly considered in the development of management strategies. A more integrated approach is required to evaluate the impacts of groundwater extraction on streamflow regime, and eliminate the potential for over-allocatio...
