2. 1. Changes of evapotranspiration and water cycle in China during the past decades

   Author : Ge Gao; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Potential evapotranspiration; Actual evapotranspiration; Spatial and temporal characteristic; Trend; Controlling factors; Water cycle; Thornthwaite water balance; China;

   Abstract : Evapotranspiration is the second largest quantity in the water cycle and an important indicator for climate changes. Accurate estimations and better understanding of evapotranspiration are required in hydrologic studies and water resources modelling under stationary and changing climate conditions. READ MORE

4. 2. Changes in the Freshwater System : Distinguishing Climate and Landscape Drivers

   Author : Fernando Jaramillo; Georgia Destouni; Zbigniew W. Kundzewicz; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Budyko; evapotranspiration; freshwater; hydrology; hydroclimatic change; landscape change; land use; observation data; runoff; separation; water partitioning; water storage change; water use; worldwide; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Abstract : Freshwater is a vital resource that circulates between the atmosphere, the land and the sea. Understanding and quantifying changes to the partitioning of precipitation into evapotranspiration, runoff and water storage change in the landscape are required for assessing changes to freshwater availability.

5. 3. Modelling water and solute flows at land-sea and land-atmosphere interfaces under data limitations

   Author : Yoshihiro Shibuo; Georgia Destouni; Jerker Jarsjö; Clifford Voss; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Submarine groundwater discharge; unmonitored flows; catchment hydrology; evapotranspiration; bathymetry; GIS; Aral Sea; nuclear waste repository sites; Physical geography; Naturgeografi; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Abstract : Water and vapour flows from land to sea and the atmosphere are important for water resources, coastal ecosystems and climate. This thesis investigates possible methods for modelling these flows under often encountered unmonitored hydrological conditions and data limitations. READ MORE

6. 4. Hydro-climatic changes in irrigated world regions

   Author : Shilpa Muliyil Asokan; Georgia Destouni; Howard Wheater; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; hydro-climatic change; evapotranspiration; irrigation; water demand; water balance; land-use; water-use; hydrological catchment; Aral Sea; India; Mahanadi River Basin; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Abstract : Understanding of hydro-climatic changes in the world’s river basins is required to ensure future food security. Different regional basins experience different levels of hydro-climatic change depending on the endorheic or exorheic nature of a hydrological basin, along with the climatic conditions and human land and water-use practices, for instance for irrigation.

7. 5. Modelling water resources despite data limitations in Tanzania’s Kilombero Valley

   Author : William Senkondo; Steve W. Lyon; Chong-Yu Xu; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrological modelling; Recession analysis; Remote sensing; Water resources; Evapotranspiration; Transmissivity; SWAT model; Kilombero Valley; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Abstract : Water is a vital resource for survival on the Earth. Sustainable management of water resources is therefore required for the wellbeing of present and future generations. A cornerstone of water resources management is scientific guidance supported by relevant data (in terms of quantity and quality). READ MORE
