for about a decade the virtual water trade has been highlighted as a means of promoting water efficiency and helping to solve regional restrictions of water resources in order to provide water and food security. although these tools are not just for certain areas of the world with a specific climate, they are more important for countries which are faced with water resources restriction and cris...

Abstract: The Second Songhua River is the biggest river system in Jilin Province, China. In recent years, the rapid economic development in this area has increased the prominence of water resources and water-related environmental problems; these include surface water pollution and the overexploitation of groundwater resources. Bank infiltration on the floodplains of the Second Songhua River is ...

abstract- inadequate water supply is the major problem for agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions. thus, effective management should be considered for water resources planning. in this research, a model was provided which is able to estimate optimal land and water allocation in the doroodzan irrigation network. optimal water management model was used at farm level to evaluate different defic...

The safety of groundwater resources is a serious issue, particularly when these resources are the main source of water for drinking, irrigation and industrial use in coastal areas. In Italy, 85% of the water used by the public is of underground origin. The aim of this report is to analyze the main factors that make groundwater vulnerable. Soil characteristics and filtration capacity can promote...

In order to allow contemporaneous autoregressive moving average (CARMA) models to be properly applied to hydrological time series, important statistical properties of the CARMA family of models are developed. For calibrating the model parameters, efficient joint estimation procedures are investigated and compared to a set of uivariate estimation procedures. It is shown that joint estimation pro...
