GIS-based Watershed Modelling for Policy Analysis toward the Integrated Lake Basin Management
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) as a tool of decision makings for the Integrated Lake Basin Management (ILBM). I show how the analytical framework is applied to one of drainage watersheds in Laguna de Bay in Philippines toward sustainable lake basin management through the ILBM-Governance project.

In this study, a hybrid GIS-supported watershed modelling system is developed for integrated planning of water pollution control in the Lake Erhai basin, China. The system comprises a GIS-supported database, simulation/optimization models, and user interfaces developed through Arc/Info and ArcView. An inexactfuzzy multi-objective optimization model is developed for assessing a variety of system...
متن کاملPractice imperfect: environmental decision-making and management in Lake Champlain’s northern watershed shared by Canada and the US
Lake Champlain’s watershed is shared by Vermont and New York in the US and Quebec in Canada. Strong identities and place-centered affiliations exist among citizen-based watershed groups and the underlying natural resource management regimes. Lake Champlain’s northern waters are a place both rich in citizen action and rich in nutrients. The northern waters include Missisquoi Bay, which is shared...
متن کاملStakeholder evaluation of the feasibility of watershed management alternatives, using Integrated Lake Basin Management principles
Containing more than 90% of the liquid fresh water on our planet’s surface, lakes are used for a wide range of human needs. Managing them for sustainable use also requires consideration of a multitude of scientific, socioeconomic and governance issues. Integrated Lake Basin Management (ILBM) is a comprehensive approach for achieving sustainable management of lakes and reservoirs through gradual...
متن کاملParameterization using ArcView GIS in medium and large watershed modelling
This paper describes the development of a comprehensive subcatchment parameterization method for medium and large-scale watershed modelling based upon the fully distributed WetSpa model. A simplified approach is used in order to take advantage of the existing spatial analysis function within ArcView GIS and its Spatial Analyst and hydrological modelling extensions. The model combines elevation,...
