introduction: given its low and sparse precipitation both in spatial and temporal scales, iran is nestled in an arid and semiarid part of the world. on the other hand, because of population growth, urbanization and the development of agriculture and industry sector is frequently encountered with increasing water demand. the increasing trend of water demand will widen the gap between water suppl...

prioritization of sub-watersheds is very important in the natural sources and watershed management. in this study, the morphometric parameter and landuse changes using rs and gis techniques used in order to identify erosion-prone sub-watersheds. the morphometric parameter such as basin relief, the linear parameters (drainage density, bifurcation ratio, length of overland flow, stream frequency ...

planning of watersheds is indispensable in terms of sustainable development and landscape management. therefore, watershed prioritization and morphometric characterization are important to identify hydrological behavior of the basin for conducting management strategies. in this study, geospatial-statistical approach was used for identifying critical and priority sub-watersheds in the golestan w...

Abstract Water resource management is critical in the face of climate change to reduce water scarcity and meet demands an expanding population. Prioritization watersheds has gained significance natural management, particularly context watershed management. This study prioritizes sub-watersheds for Peddavagu basin using five methods. The four methods mentioned above can be estimated utilizing re...

Soil Erosion Dynamic on Storm-Basis due to Land Use Correction in the High Priority Sub-Watersheds of Galazchai Watershed, West Azerbaijan, Iran

In this present study, Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques are used to update drainage and surface water bodies to evaluate linear, relief and aerial morphometric parameters and to prioritize the watersheds of the Markandeya River Sub-Basin (MRSB), located in Belgaum district of Karnataka state,India. The Markandeya River Sub-Basin has sub-dendritic to dendr...

Rapidly developing countries contain both the bulk of intact natural areas and biodiversity, and the greatest untapped natural resource stocks, placing them at the forefront of "green" economic development opportunities. However, most lack scientific tools to create development plans that account for biodiversity and ecosystem services, diminishing the real potential to be sustainable. Existing...
