In this paper the results of an assessment of the hydrological and economic implications of reallocating water in the Musi sub-basin, a catchment within the Krishna Basin in India, are reported. Policy makers identified a number of different but plausible scenarios that could apply in the...

A risk farmers have to cope with is annual changes in the availability of irrigation water. In this paper the relationship between irrigation water allocated to farmers and the incomes they derive in the Coleambally Irrigation Areas (CIA) in Australia is quantified. It is shown empirically that...

In this paper the residual method is used to determine the disaggregated economic value of irrigation water used in agriculture across crops, zones and seasons. This method relies on the belief that the value of a good (its price by its quantity) is equal to the summation of the quantity of each...

Estimates from the FAO Penman–Monteith (FAO-PM) and the standardized ASCE Penman–Monteith (ASCE-PM) hourly and daily reference evapotranspiration (ET0) equations were compared at daily scale, based on the hourly climate data collected from forty (40) geographically and climatologically...

Regulation of river systems has led to the development of irrigated agriculture and other uses of this engineered additional water supply. One of the main environmental drawbacks from regulation of river systems has been a shift in the seasonality of flow of these rivers. One such river is the...

This paper presents a novel approach to real time automatic flood control in a managed river network that is subject to uncertain inflows. The proposed approach uses multiple models to represent inflows ranging from low to high flow. Optimal model selection is achieved in a minimum mean square...

Catchment development has been identified as a potentially major cause of streamflow change in many river basins in India. This research aims to understand changes in the Himayat Sagar catchment (HSC), India, where significant reductions in streamflow have been observed. Rainfall and streamflow...
