  2. 1. The Integrated Distributed Hydrological Model, ECOFLOW- a Tool for Catchment Management

    Author : Nikolay Sokrut; Roger Thunvik; Tuomo Karvonen; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrogeology; Multiple-scale hydrological modelling; Bayesian algorithm; Parameter estimation; Groundwater management; Statistical analysis; Hydrogeologi; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

    Abstract : In order to find effective measures that meet the requirements for proper groundwater quality and quantity management, there is a need to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) and a suitable modelling tool. Central components of a DSS for groundwater management are thought to be models for surface- and groundwater flow and solute transport. READ MORE

  4. 2. iWHAM-integrated water, health and agriculture management : public health implications of integrated watershed management in a tribal area

    Author : Sandeep Nerkar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : agriculture;

    Abstract : Background: Water scarcity remains a major hurdle in the overall development of tribal people living on hilly terrain, and it is one of the major reasons for their various health problems. Integrated watershed management (IWM) aims to increase water availability and to enhance socio-economic development in such areas. READ MORE

  5. 3. Hydrological modeling as a tool for sustainable water resources management: a case study of the Awash River Basin

    Author : Selome M. Tessema; Berit Balfors; Ulla Mörtberg; Shimelis Gebriye Setegn; Steve W. Lyon; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrological characteristics; Distributed hydrological modeling; Rainfall-runoff correlation; Streamflow prediction; Sustainable water management; Awash River Basin; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

    Abstract : The growing pressure on the world‘s fresh water resources is enforced by population growth that leads to conflicts between demands for different purposes. A main concern on water use is the conflict between the environment and other purposes like hydropower, irrigation for agriculture and domestic and industry water supply, where total flows are diverted without releasing water for ecological conservation.

  6. 4. Water Resources Management efforts for best water allocation in the Lake Poopo basin, Bolivia

    Author : Andres Calizaya; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : poverty; institutional arrangements; Bolivian Altiplano; Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis; Water conflict; Lake Poopo; IWRM strategy; local capacity building.;

    Abstract : The Lake Poopo basin, located on the Bolivian Altiplano, is extremely vulnerable to environmental degradation. The basin displays extreme spatial and temporal variations of water resources and rapidly decreasing water quality due to anthropogenic and natural pollution. READ MORE

  7. 5. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) as a tool for analysis and communications of multidimensional data

    Author : Åke Sivertun; Umeå universitet; []
