  • Publisher: IWMI

The hydrological roles of glaciers and seasonal snow in the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Amu Darya, Syr Darya and Mekong basins are, for the first time, assessed comprehensively at a major river basin scale in this paper. Contribution of glacier runoff, subdivided into renewable and nonrenewable components, and seasonal snowmelt to mean annual flow is evaluated for two time slices: 1961-1990 and 2001-2010. The recent changes of the hydrological roles of glaciers and snow, and the most likely changes of those under future climate change are analyzed.

Sustainable Groundwater Development for Improved Livelihoods in Sub-Saharan Africa

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the benefits and challenges of intensifying groundwater irrigation in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) for improving smallholder agrarian livelihoods. Only about 3% of the groundwater resources of Sub-Saharan Africa are used for irrigated agriculture despite the subcontinent’s relative abundance of groundwater. The majority of the region’s smallholders are highly dependent on seasonal dryland cropping, making them extremely vulnerable to uncertain weather patterns and droughts. Improved irrigation capabilities through sustainable groundwater development could unleash smallholder farming and make it a major driver of economic growth, poverty reductio...

  • Publisher: MDPI

River catchments and reservoirs play a central role in water security, food supply, flood risk management, hydropower generation, and ecosystem services; however, they are now under increasing pressure from population growth, economic activities, and changing climate means and extremes in many parts of the world. Adaptive management of river catchments and reservoirs requires an in-depth understanding of the impacts of future uncertainties and thus the development of robust, sustainable solutions to meet the needs of various stakeholders and the environment. To tackle the huge challenges in moving towards adaptive catchment management, this book presents the latest developments in cutting-edge knowledge, novel methodologies, innovative management strategies, and case studies, focusing on the following themes: reservoir dynamics and impact analysis of dam construction, optimal reservoir operation, climate change impacts on hydrological processes and water management, and integrated catchment management.

Informe Mundial de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Desarrollo de los Recursos Hídricos 2020

Esta publicación ilustra los vínculos críticos entre el agua y el cambio climático en el contexto de la agenda más amplia de desarrollo sostenible. Respaldado por ejemplos de todo el mundo, describe tanto los desafíos como las oportunidades creadas por el cambio climático y proporciona respuestas potenciales (en términos de adaptación, mitigación y mayor resiliencia) que pueden emprenderse mejorando la gestión de los recursos hídricos y atenuando los riesgos relacionados con el agua. y mejorar el acceso a los servicios de abastecimiento de agua y saneamiento para todos de manera sostenible. Aborda las interrelaciones entre el agua, las personas, el medio ambiente y la economía en un clima cambiante, demostrando cómo el cambio climático puede ser un catalizador positivo para mejorar la gestión, la gobernanza y la financiación del agua.
