Karimov, A.A.Smakhtin, Vladimir U.Mavlonov, ABorisov, AGracheva, I.Miryusupov, IAkhmedov, A.Anzelm, K.Yakubov, S.Karimov, A.A.[Managed aquifer recharge: a potential component of water management in the Syrdarya River basin.]Managed aquifer recharge: a potential component of water management in the Syrdarya River basin.

The major present hindrance in using desalination to help alleviate global water scarcity is the cost of this technology, which, in turn is due to energy cost involved. This study examines historical trends in desalination and breaks up the cost of desalination into energy based and nonenergy bas...


Sood, A.Smakhtin, Vladimir U.[Can Desalination and Clean Energy Combined Help to Alleviate Global Water Scarcity?]Can Desalination and Clean Energy Combined Help to Alleviate Global Water Scarcity?

Hydrological modeling is an indispensable component of water resources research and management in large river basins. There is a tendency for each new group working in a basin to develop their own model, resulting in a plethora of such tools for each major basin. The question then becomes: how mu...

Global Hydrological Models (GHMs) have effectively become a separate research field in the last two decades. The paper reviews and compares 12 known global modeling efforts since 1989, the year the first GHM was published. Structure, strengths and weaknesses of individual models are examined, and...

The abundance of groundwater resources of Sub-Saharan Africa is generally well recognized, but quantitative estimates of their potential for irrigation development are lacking. This study derives estimates using a simple and generic water balance approach and data from secondary sources for 13 co...


Pavelic, PaulVillholth, Karen G.Shu, YunqiaoRebelo, Lisa-MariaSmakhtin, Vladimir U.[Smallholder groundwater irrigation in Sub-Saharan Africa: country-level estimates of development potential]Smallholder groundwater irrigation in Sub-Saharan Africa: country-level estimates of development potential

Water productivity (WP) and water footprint (WFP) are popular concepts in research and discourses on water management. Yet there are concerns about their theoretical validity and practical value. This paper shows that the water production function, the concept with a sound theoretical foundation,...


Amarasinghe, Upali A.Smakhtin, Vladimir U.[Water productivity and water footprint: misguided concepts or useful tools in water management and policy?]Water productivity and water footprint: misguided concepts or useful tools in water management and policy?

Allocation of water to cities, industries and agriculture has been a common practice in river basin planning and management. It is widely accepted that water also needs to be allocated for the aquatic environment, i.e. alongside the demands of other users. This paper describes the application of ...


Sapkota PBharati, L.Gurung PKaushal NSmakhtin, Vladimir U.[Environmentally sustainable management of water demands under changing climate conditions in the Upper Ganges Basin, India]Environmentally sustainable management of water demands under changing climate conditions in the Upper Ganges Basin, India

Land-use information is required for a number of purposes such as to address food security issues, to ensure the sustainable use of natural resources and to support decisions regarding food trade and crop insurance. Suitable land-use maps often either do not exist or are not readily available. Th...


Bie, C.A.J.M. deKhan, M.R.Smakhtin, Vladimir U.Venus, V.Weir, M.J.C.Smaling, E.M.A.[Analysis of multi-temporal SPOT NDVI images for small-scale land-use mapping]Analysis of multi-temporal SPOT NDVI images for small-scale land-use mapping

This study uses a modified Granger and Gray model to estimate evapotranspiration and then groundwater recharge in Ghana. The overall results show that the model is capable of reliably predicting regional evapotranspiration using a small number of monitoring stations with meteorological data only....
