Farmer‐Led Strategies for Water Conservation in the Urmia Lake Basin, Iran

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the urgent issues of water scarcity and limited farmer livelihoods in the Urmia Lake basin. To address these challenges, we apply the Governance, Autonomy, Integration, and Needs orientation (GAIN) methodology. Our participatory approach revealed that farmers prioritised actionable measures for water management, yield ...

A Comparative Study on the Irrigation Suitability of Kerala's Rivers Using Fuzzy AHP and Conventional Methods

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food security in Kerala depends on effective irrigation, but poor‐quality irrigation water poses threats such as salinity, sodicity and reduced soil productivity. Although past assessments have been localised, this study presents the first comprehensive, statewide evaluation of irrigation water suitability across 44 major rivers in Kerala.

Assessing the intensity of Late Quaternary humid phases in the Nefud Desert, northern Arabia

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The climate history of the major dryland zones of the world, such as the Saharo–Arabian Desert belt, plays a key role in the dispersal of early humans through these intermittently inhospitable regions. Here, we assess the relative intensity of Late Quaternary humid phases in northern Arabia through lithological, geochemical, palaeoecological ...

Increasing Groundwater Availability and Seasonal Base Flow Through Agricultural Managed Aquifer Recharge in an Irrigated Basin [PDF]

, 2019
Groundwater aquifers provide an important “insurance” against climate variability. Due to prolonged droughts and/or irrigation demands, groundwater exploitation results in significant groundwater storage depletion.

Groundwater resource modelling for public water supply management in London [PDF]

, 2012
In London, groundwater abstractions for public supply are predominantly from the Chalk aquifer. However, water resource pressures put existing abstractions at risk and often require complex analysis to support new source development.

Does Palsa Thaw in Northern Finland Contribute to Remobilisation of Metals Accumulated in Peat Into Surface Waters?

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is rapidly degrading in the sporadic zone, including palsa mires in Scandinavia. Peatlands in the area have likely accumulated heavy metals from atmospheric deposition of industrial contaminants in the wider region. As the palsa mire chemical composition is not well known, and in other permafrost regions the permafrost thaw may ...
