This paper presents a synthesis of four case studies of watershed management experiences in the Philippines, primarily to provide insight on why watershed management approach has not gained wider recognition in the country despite being renowned internationally. A brief description was presented for each case study involving the watersheds of Maasin, Magat, Manupali, and Balian sub-watershed to...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Mongolia's riverine landscape is divided into three watersheds, differing in extent of permafrost, amount of precipitation and in hydrological connectivity between sub-drainages. In order to assess the vulnerability of macroinvertebrate communities to ongoing climate change, we consider the taxonomic and functional structures of stream communities in two major watershed...

in iran, most mountainous watersheds do not have enough hydrometery stations and defective stations have sparse data. because of limited availability of hydrologic data, watershed modeling plays a crucial role in development of local resources. in this study, swat was applied to simulate runoff in marun dam (idanak) watershed, a sub-basin of marun catchment. calibration and sensivity analyses w...

A Watershed is a land area that an integral part of the river and its tributaries, which functions to accommodate, store drain water from rainfall lakes or sea naturally, whose boundaries on are topographical separators. And at up areas still affected by activities. This study aims as follows: 1) To assess current quality in Boentuka Sub-watershed, Timor Tengah Selatan Regency, 2) Identify fact...

Surface water samples of baseflow were collected from 20 headwater sub-watersheds which were classified into three types of watersheds (natural, urban and agricultural) in the flood, dry and transition seasons during three consecutive years (2010-2012) within a coastal watershed of Southeast China. Integrating spatial statistics with multivariate statistical techniques, river water quality vari...

Background: Mongolia’s riverine landscape is divided into three watersheds, differing in extent of permafrost, amount of precipitation and in hydrological connectivity between sub-drainages. In order to assess the vulnerability of macroinvertebrate communities to ongoing climate change, we consider the taxonomic and functional structures of stream communities in two major watersheds: The Centra...

The aim of this paper is to assess the extent which Sad-Kalan watershed in Iran participates floods and rank sub-watersheds terms flooding potential by utilizing multi-criteria decision-making approaches. We employed entropy a drainage network, stream power index (SPI), slope, topographic control (TCI), compactness coefficient (Cc) investigation. After forming decision matrix with 25 possibilit...
