Shaping global change adaptation strategy in water resource systems requires an interdisciplinary approachto deal with the multiple dimensions of the problem. The modelling framework presented integrates climate, economic, agronomic and hydrological scenarios to design a programme of adaptation measures at the river basin scale. Future demand scenarios, combined with a down-scaled climate scena...

The application of systems analysis techniques in evaluating project alternatives having more than one objective in river basin planning for the sustainable development is of recent origin. This paper presents the planning under fuzzy environment including both qualitative and quantitative aspects for the sustainable development of a major peninsular river basin (Krishna River Basin) in souther...

The National Marine Fisheries Service's Alaska Fisheries Science Center uses the NOAA Technical Memorandum series to issue informal scientific and technical publications when complete formal review and editorial processing are not appropriate or feasible. Documents within this series reflect sound professional work and may be referenced in the formal scientific and technical literature. In the ...

this paper provides information on the geographic distributions of two cyprinid species: hemiculter leucisculus (basilewsky, 1855) and alburnus caeruleus heckel, 1843, in the world and the entire drainage systems in iran. the new distribution records were taken from maroon river (jarrahi river system) and chardaval river (karkheh river system), both in tigris river basin showing wide and narrow...

Environmental changes in large river basins are subject to forces external to the water and to biological issues. Before 1960, the Plata River Basin was almost undeveloped. The regulation of the Parana for hydroelectricity has been increasing since the early 1970s. Water in reservoirs of the upper Parana Basin currently comprises more than 70 percent of the mean annual discharge at its confluen...

hydrological drought refers to a persistently low discharge and volume of water in streams and reservoirs, lasting months or years. hydrological drought is a natural phenomenon, but it may be exacerbated by human activities. hydrological droughts are usually related to meteorological droughts, and their recurrence interval varies accordingly. this study pursues to identify a stochastic model (o...

This data article reports the relationship between of the bromide ion concentration and the formation potential of disinfectant byproducts (DBPs) including, trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs), and haloacetonitriles (HANs) upon chlorination and monochloramination of the raw water of Karoon River water in Iran. Water samples were collected at an intake of a drinking water treatment p...
