Water supply is a critical issue in the Middle East, particularly in the West Bank and Gaza Strip (Palestine). Water resources are scarce due to the arid climate and the population growth while water resources management and development is complicated by the ongoing Israeli occupation. There is a critical lack of sanitation in the West Bank. Only 45% of the Palestinian population is connected t...

Due to the effects of climate change and the increasing demand on water, sustainable development in term of water resources management has become a major challenge. In this context, the application of simulation models is useful to duel with the uncertainty and complexity of water system by providing stakeholders with the best solution. This paper outlines an integrated management planning netw...

This paper evaluated an integrated water resources management approach through linked WEAP-MODFLOW model. Study area is Ravasnar-Sanjabi plain located in Kermanshah province in the west of Iran. A MODFLOW model was evaluated and then, accepted as a groundwater model for the region in present research. Schematic WEAP model was provided as representing general features of water resources system a...

In the Peruvian Andes, water infiltration from tropical wetlands, called páramo, generates headwaters for downstream rivers. The hydrological processes of these wetlands are not well understood within the larger hydrological system, impeding efforts to mitigate the rapid environmental changes anticipated due to regional population growth and climate change. This study constructed and calibrated...

Central Rift Valley Lakes sub-basin, Ethiopia. The competition for water is rapidly increasing in lakes sub-basin due to the combined effect of various resources developments. However, impacts recent and future development pathways on balance three interconnected (i.e. Lake Ziway, Langano Abiyata) are unknown. Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) model was used assess lakes. We considered that ...

Abstract Due to the construction of dams in upstream countries and usage surface irrigation systems, Iraq has been experiencing a water shortage. population increase expansion industrial agricultural sectors, country is having difficulty keeping up with rising demand for water. Many previous studies carried out optimize resources management over two decades using Water Evaluation Planning (WEAP...
