Increasing attention to watershed management is part of an international policy trend toward integrated water resource management. Integration is multidimensional across sectors, administrative regions, ministerial portfolios and levels of hydrologic structure and socioeconomic organization. Coll...

In this article the authors assess the potential impacts of projected climate change on water, livelihoods and food security in the Basin Focal Projet basins. The authors consider expected change within the context of recently observed climate variability in the basins to better understand the po...


Mulligan, M.Fisher, M.Sharma BXu ZXRingler, ClaudiaMahe GJarvis, AndyRamírez Villegas, JuliánClanet, J.C.Ogilvie AAhmad, M.[The nature and impact of climate change in the challenge program on water and food (CPWF) basins]The nature and impact of climate change in the challenge program on water and food (CPWF) basins

Producing more food per unit of water has never been as important as it is at present, and the demand for water by economic sectors other than agriculture will necessarily put a great deal of pressure on a dwindling resource, leading to a call for increases in the productivity of water in agricul...

Study region: Kathmandu Valley, Capital city of Nepal. Study focus: This study applied three hydrological models (i.e., SWAT, HBV, and BTOPMC) to analyze the water balance components and their temporal and seasonal variations in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. The water balance components were inves...

Recent developments in Environmental Flow (E-flow) frameworks advocate holistic, regional scale, probabilistic E-flow assessments that consider flow and non-flow drivers of change in socio-ecological context as best practice. Regional Scale ecological risk assessments of multiple sources, stresso...

The Ganges basin faces considerable spatial and temporal imbalance between water demand and availability. Lack of water storage infrastructure has led to this mismatch, wherein there are limited options to store flood water during the wet season and limited groundwater and surface water resources...

Arid rangelands host a variety of drought-tolerant wildlife species, many of them requiring conservation efforts for the survival of their populations. The development of drinking water sources for people and livestock forms one of the main development interventions in these rangelands. However, ...

Storage of surface water is widely regarded as a form of insurance against rainfall variability. However, creation of surface storage often endanger the functions of natural ecosystems, and, in turn, ecosystem services that bene t humans. The issues of optimal size, placement and the number of re...
