The topography of inland deltas is influenced by the water-sediment bal-3 ance in distributary channels and local evaporation and seepage rates. In this 4 letter a reduced complexity model is applied to simulate inland delta forma-5 tion, and results are compared with the Okavango Delta, Botswana and with 6 a laboratory experiment. We show that water loss in inland deltas produces 7 fundamental...

The sustainability of inland water resources worldwide is becoming increasingly endangered as climate change contributes to the human-induced problems supply scarcity and maldistribution [...]

Variation and shift in the seasonal pattern of the hydro-climatic factors is probably because of climate related changes. Rainfall, river inflow, snowmelt, and consequent fluctuation in water level are the hydro-climatic factors that influence the inland fisheries production worldwide. Increase in rainfall and water level favours the reproduction, recruitment and immigration of fish in the inla...

Introduction Knowledge about the bathymetry of water bodies is of high economic, social, and ecologic importance. Whereas charting bathymetry for navigational purposes is indispensable for ensuring safe shipping traffic, monitoring the quantity and quality of fresh water resources gains more and more importance, especially in the light of climate change. In the European context three water rela...

The diversity of fish consumed in Bangladesh is a key aspect of diet and culture. Although total fish production in Bangladesh has been rising due to aquaculture, there are widespread concerns for loss and overexploitation of floodplain capture fisheries. The two are not effectively the same, because the resulting diversity of fish differs under each circumstance, as does access to fish and res...

The net transport through the Seto Inland Sea, associated with the inflow of the Kuroshio Current from the Pacific Ocean, is the focus of this study. Direct measurement of the net transport was successfully accomplished during February–November 2012 using reciprocal sound transmissions in the Akinada Sea, the western part of the inland sea, while accurate transport was estimated only from mid-A...

in this study, the systematic position of acanthalburnus microlepis from kura and aras basins is clarified and some notes on the taxonomy of the acanthobrama species distributed in turkey are given. based on the morphological and osteological analyses, a high similarity between a. microlepis and acanthobrama members is found. some taxonomic information yielded from the examination of recent col...

In 13 villages in the savannah zone and 21 villages in the forest zone of Côte d'Ivoire, the biting density of the principal malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae, was studied as a function of rice cultivation in the inland valleys in a 2-km radius around each village. In the savannah villages, during the main season cropping period, surface water on rice-cultivated and to a lesser extent on uncult...

High latitude agriculture is rainfed. Climate change could, however, increase water deficiency and initiate a call for development of irrigation systems as a part of field water management systems. This study aimed to develop a basic understanding about the current state of irrigation potential according to region by monitoring proximity of fields to waterways and characterizing their general c...
