This study was conducted to assess water availability and consumption in the Karkheh River Basin in Iran using secondary data and freely available satellite data. Precipitation was estimated using geo-statistical techniques while a Surface Energy Balance approach was selected for...

The aim of this paper was to analyse Business-As-Usual (BAU) scenarios for addressing the eutrophication issue of the Po Basin-North Adriatic coastal zone continuum. A multidisciplinary approach was developed combining Ecologic and Economic disciplines being a relevant step for shaping...

This paper demonstrates that combining spatial land surface data with socio-economic analysis provides a number of indicators to strengthen decision making in integrated water and environmental management. It provides a basis to: track current water consumption in the Inkomati Basin in...

Upper Karha watershed from semi-arid part of Deccan Volcanic Province, India was investigated to identify the potential sites to construct rainwater harvesting structures with the help of remote sensing and geographical information system. Attempt was made to understand the basaltic terrain in...

Integrated watershed management requires a host of inter-related information to be generated and studied in relation to each other. Remote sensing technique provides valuable and up-to-date spatial information on natural resources and physical terrain parameters. Geographical Information System...

In this paper, a rainfall runoff model for coastal urban watershed considering the effects of tidal variations using Finite Element Method (FEM) is presented. Overland flow is modeled using the mass balance equation considering the impervious character of the urban watershed. Storm water flow...

Spatial Monte Carlo Analysis (SMCA) is a newly developed Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique based on Spatial Compromise Programming (SCP) and Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) technique. In contrast to other conventional MCDM techniques, SMCA has the ability to address uneven spatial...

Waterlogging is becoming a serious problem in irrigated command areas of India. The study area is the Sriram Sagar command, which is about 120 km north of Hyderabad. An attempt has been made to make an assessment of the waterlogged area and those areas sensitive to waterlogging during the pre...

A spatially distributed hydrological model WetSpa (Water and Energy Transfer between Soil, Plants and Atmosphere) working on an hourly time scale is presented in this paper. The model combines elevation, soil and land use data, and predicts flood hydrograph and the spatial distribution of...

One of the most important hazards in terms of cost, frequency of occurrence and impact on humans is drought. Drought indices are estimations of precipitation shortage and water supply deficit. Satellite drought indices are normally radiometric recordings of vegetation condition and dynamics,...
