Combined land-use and water allocation planning
A general framework for a combined land use and water management is described. An optimization problem is formulated that combines combinatorial and spatial characteristics. The aim of the planning is to maximize economic benefit, while minimizing water extraction and transportation cost under ecological constraints. A genetic algorithm is employed endowed with a new neighborhood operator. This...
متن کاملLand use impacts on surface water quality by statistical approaches
Surface waters are the most important economic resource for humans which provide water for agricultural, industrial and anthropogenic activities. Surface water quality plays vital role in protecting aquatic ecosystems. Unplanned urbanization, intense agricultural activities and deforestation are positively associated with carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous related water quality parameters. Multip...
متن کاملIntegrate land and water use planning at the scale of the urban master plan
The survival of cities as living beings and their inhabitants depends on the supply of water. Numerous factors such as population growth, climate, drought, consumption pattern, amount of available water resources and utility network affect the equation of water supply and consumption. What has been less considered in the traditional planning process than ever before is the connection between la...
متن کاملModeling the relationship between land use and surface water quality.
It is widely known that watershed hydrology is dependent on many factors, including land use, climate, and soil conditions. But the relative impacts of different types of land use on the surface water are yet to be ascertained and quantified. This research attempted to use a comprehensive approach to examine the hydrologic effects of land use at both a regional and a local scale. Statistical an...
متن کاملLand Use, Climate, and Water Resources-Global Stages of Interaction.
Land use and climate change can accelerate the depletion of freshwater resources that support humans and ecosystem services on a global scale. Here, we briefly review studies from around the world, and highlight those in this special issue. We identify stages that characterize increasing interaction between land use and climate change. During the first stage, hydrologic modifications and the bu...
