An information system for integrated land and water resources management in the Kara River basin (Togo and Benin) [PDF]
International Journal of Database Management Systems (IJDMS)
Vol.7, No.1, February 2015, 2015 A prerequisite for integrated land and water resources management (ILWRM) is a holistic river basin assessment. The latter requires information and data from different scientific disciplines but also appropriate data management systems to store and manage historical and real time data, set up protocols that facilitate data and information access and ...

Sustainable Management of Water Resources
Engineering, 2016 Water is a very valuable resource, sustaining human life, production processes, and ecosystems; thus, particular attention should be paid to the management of water resources. China is now facing a serious water crisis, including water shortages, flooding, and water pollution, due to both natural and artificial causes.

Water management and sustainability of water resources [PDF]
Water Supply, 2017 Abstract As a limited resource, especially under market conditions, water should be managed at the highest level of efficiency. This approach, however, leads to a conflict with the sustainability principle. At the basic level it could be defined as a question: ‘Is the market eager to pay the sustainability cost?’ If it is, then the cost ...

Decreasing water budget of the Australian continent from Grace satellite gravity data [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Increasing aridification of continental areas due to global climate change has impacted freshwater availability, particularly in extremely dry landmasses, such as Australia. Multiple demands on water resources require integrated basin management approaches, necessitating knowledge of total water storage, and changes in water mass.

Not Another Day Zero: Design Hackathons for Community-Based Water Quality Monitoring [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 This study looks at water quality monitoring and management as a new form of community engagement. Through a series of a unique research method called `design hackathons', we engaged with a hyperlocal community of citizens who are actively involved in monitoring and management of their local watershed.

Re-suspension of bed sediment in a small stream – results from two flushing experiments [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Streams draining small watersheds often exhibit multiple peaking sedigraphs associated with single peaking hydrographs. The process reasons of the multiple sediment peaks are not fully understood but they may be related to the activation of different ...
