This paper aims to analyze the impact of an improvement in income distribution on energy consumption in Brazil, based on structural decomposition techniques. For this purpose, hybrid input-output matrices are constructed to associate the evolution of national accounts with the national energy...

This study aims to analyze the distributional effects of carbon pricing in Brazil. The subject has gained importance with initiatives such as the PMR Brazil Project and RenovaBio, but discussions have been limited to the possible loss of competitiveness of national products. Thus, scenarios...

This study evaluates climate change potential impacts on irrigated agriculture in the Guadiana river basin, in the south of Portugal, by running long-term soil water balance simulations using the ISAREG model and taking into consideration the maximum potential yield. The ISAREG simulations were...

In this study, the crop yield response of rainfed crops to climate change was evaluated focusing on the most representative crops in the Guadiana river basin. The quantification of crop yields was performed using a simple soil water balance model framework. The herbaceous crop yields were...

Innovative irrigation practices can enhance water efficiency, gaining an economic advantage while also reducing environmental burdens. In some cases the necessary knowledge has been provided by extension services, helping farmers to adapt and implement viable solutions, thus gaining more...

<Para ID="Par1">Integrated water resources management provides an often-recommended governance framework to manage water resources in a sustainable way. The application of this framework on Transboundary Rivers brings additional challenges, which can be exacerbated due to climate changes and extremes (such as...</para>

<Para ID="Par1">Drought situations can have significant impacts, affecting large areas and imposing relevant restrictions on multiple economic activities. The severity of those impacts is, normally, assessed through meteorological, agricultural and/or hydrological indices or even through estimation of water...</para>

Within the Project – “Developing Strategies for Regulating and Managing Water Resources and Demand in Water Deficient Regions (WSM)” funded by the EU in fifth Research Framework Program, the Ribeiras do Algarve River Basin was chosen as a case study to develop a DSS for planning purposes....
