Assessing human resources renovation needs in water utilities

Human water needs.

Healthy humans regulate daily water balance remarkably well across their lifespan despite changes in biological development and exposure to stressors on hydration status. Acute or chronic body water deficits result when intakes are reduced or losses increase, but day-to-day hydration is generally well maintained so long as food and fluid are readily available. Total water intake includes drinki...

Assessing the Sustainability of Groundwater Resources Using Water Exploitation and Green Water Scarcity Indicators

Sustainability of groundwater resources means ensuring the permanent availability of essential groundwater services for a long-time. This research was conducted to investigate the sustainability of groundwater resources in the prohibited plain of Behshahr- Bandar-e-Gaz by using water expoliation and green water scarcity indices. Initially, the green water deficit index was calculated based on t...

Assessing the Development of Unconventional (Brackish and Saline) Water Resources in the West of Hormozgan Province

Introduction: Being located in an arid and semi-arid region, Iran has always faced with limited water resources. As groundwater extraction has now exceeded the permitted limits all over Iran and the country faces considerable constraints in developing groundwater resources, severe water crisis looms large in the horizon. In this regard, a quick solution should be considered to supply water from...

Assessing Water Resources Using a New Hydrologic Model

GSFLOW is a new U.S. Geological Survey model for simulating ground-water/surface-water interactions. GSFLOW couples PRMS (the Precipitation Runoff Modeling System) to MODFLOW (the Modular Ground-Water Model) with modules for simulating flow and storage in unsaturated-zones, lakes, and streams. GSFLOW simulates infiltration, runoff generation, and lateral flow in temporarily saturated material (...
