Water engineering is an amalgam of engineering (e.g., hydraulics, hydrology, irrigation, ecosystems, environment, water resources) and non-engineering (e.g., social, economic, political) aspects that are needed for planning, designing and managing water systems. These aspects and the associated issues have been dealt with in the literature using different techniques that are based on different ...

Passive restoration depending on native shrubs is an attractive approach for restoring desertified landscapes in semi-arid sandy regions. We sought to understand the relationships between spatial patterns of native shrubs and their survival ability in sandy environments. Furthermore, we applied our results to better understand whether passive restoration is feasible for desertified landscapes i...

Seven activities to engage systems thinking are described, then discussed in a dialogue format. The seven activities involve the creation and discussion of (1) sets in contrast to systems, (2) a simple device to mix colored waters, (3) harmony in music, (4) storytelling, (5) playing in contrast to designing a game, (6) a language game, and (7) a strategy that selects in contrast to combines. Di...
