This paper applies the principles of water-use accounts, to the Karkheh River basin in Iran. The northern part of the Basin where the Karkheh and its tributaries rise is mountainous, cooler, and wetter. The River spills out on to the hotter, lower semi-arid plains at its southern end. Precipitat...

This study attempts to examine those unique aspects of interbasin water transfer planning, which are of critical importance to the sustainable water resources development in India. It focuses on the crucial aspect of accurate quantification of surface water availability, which determines the enti...

This report describes the development of the near real-time drought monitoring and reporting system for the region, which currently includes Afghanistan, Pakistan and western parts of India. The system is based on drought-related indices derived from high-resolution remote-sensing data (MODIS). T...

The precise estimation of surface runoff from rainfall is critical for water resource management. In the recent past, remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies have been widely used in the estimation of surface runoff from watersheds, and from agricultural fields in part...

This study examines the global patterns and impacts of droughts through the mapping of several drought-related characteristics - either at a grid or a country scale. Characteristics cover various aspects of droughts from global distribution of meteorological and hydrological drought risks to soci...

Streamflow data play a key role in water resources management; however these data are not often available. One of the alternatives then is to use the rainfall-runoff models, but in most cases the required inputs such as rainfall and evapotranspiration are not available to use these models. Freely...

The construction of multiple dams and barrages in many Indian River basins over the last few decades significantly reduced river flow to the sea and affected the sediment regime. More reservoir construction is planned through the proposed National River Linking Project (NRLP), which will transfer...
