The challenge of water scarcity as a result of insufficient seasonal rainfall and dry spell occurrences during cropping seasons is compounded by inefficient agricultural practices by smallholder farmers where insignificant soil and water conservation efforts are applied...

Based on research conducted in the semi-arid Makanya catchment of northern Tanzania, where rainfall averaging less than 400 mm/season is insufficient to support common food crops, this book discusses the application of direct and indirect techniques to explore the soil and water dynamics at field sc..

Water resources and water balance modelling are used to quantify the effect of water resources strategies and climatic conditions on water resources availability and the potential of alluvial aquifers. The greatest benefit for the least impact comes from strategies providing for better land and soil..

Focusing on conflict resolution, Water Resources Systems Analysis discusses systematic approaches for the mathematical modeling of various water resources issues, helping decision-makers allocate water effectively and efficiently. Readers will gain an understanding of simulation, optimization, multi..

This compilation provides guidelines that facilitate the successful planning and operation of water reuse projects. Offering the information, analysis, and proven experience for agricultural and landscape irrigation, it bridges the gap between fundamental science and relatively uncharted areas of ec..

The study presented in this book provides an integrated assessment of the spatial and temporal variability of both recent and future climate change impacts in the Yellow River source region (YRSR) with specific focus on extremes. This study has covered a wide range of topics and a number of relevant..

User interface is one of the most important components for decision support systems since it directly faces to the end users: decision makers and stakeholders. Implementation of modern visualization and interaction techniques can fill the gap between models and information in order to assist the end..

This book provides practical tools and methods to help practitioners more effectively locate, identify, and map the extent of wetlands, and therefore better understand the importance of wetlands to society and the larger landscape. The authors address jurisdictional, regulatory, and practical applic..

This volume highlights research on the construction of a vigorous and spatially-explicit model, which will describe the dynamics of wetland vegetation in relation to environmental variables, including hydrological regimes, sediment type, and nutrient availability. It features new information on ecol..
