Adequate stream flow measurement is vital for agricultural watershed management and its effect on many aspects of water balance parameters. For this reason soil water assessment tool (SWAT) has been applied for the measurement of the stream flow to the Tungabhadra catchment in India. This article describes a methodology for calibration and parameter uncertainty analysis for distributed model based on generalized likelihoodmeasures. The sequential uncertainty domain parameter fitting algorithm

Seawater intrusion is defined as the movement of seawater into freshwater aquifers which are generally made of ground water near the coast. An interface or dispersion zone is the area where fresh water and seawater meet. Analytical models and numerical models as well as Mathematical methods are used to find or to investigate solutions to this, as the seawater contaminates the fresh drinking water. The aim of this essay is to give an account of two modelling approaches that describe what happens at

Water constitutes an indispensable component of climate system found in all parts of biosphere. Increased temperatures reported throughout the last century resulted in a number of hydrological alterations extending from modification of precipitation patterns, rapid snow and ice retreat, to changes in total runoff and increasing number of intensive or extreme events. These changes of climate associated with the water availability show substantial spatial and temporal variability (Bates et al., 2008)

Chlorine-36 ages (Paterson et al., 2005) show a progression with distance over the Dakhla Basin eastward from 210-230 kyr in Dakhla reaching ~600 kyr in Kharga and northeastward to 320 kyr in Farafra and 700 kyr in Bahariya (Fig. 5). 36Cl/Cl ratios vertically indicate long, deep flowpaths of the paleorecharge near the southern highlands of the Uweinat area. Late Quaternary recharge appears to affect the shallow aquifer horizons only (Paterson et al., 2005). Krepton-81 ages (Sturchio et al., 2004)

As a state, California has responded to the drought through several short term crisis management strategies. The first of these being pumping of groundwater, although an effective solution in the short term (offsetting almost 70% of the water shortage and reducing crop fallow and job losses), these reserves will become ever more expensive to extract and will eventually run out. Under irrigating land, idling of land and shifting of crops go together as strategies that will save the proprietor water

Introduction The Murray-Darling Basin is Australia’s most iconic and largest river system, covering over 1,000,000 square kilometres, which is 14% of the total area of Australia. It extends from the bottom of Queensland to South Australia. The Basin is the catchment area for the Murray-Darling River located in the interior of South-eastern Australia. Many of the Basin’s natural resources are of high environmental value. It is one of the most significant agricultural areas in Australia, as

2. Study region 2.1 Site details Maunalua Bay is an 8 km embayment located on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, with three primary regions of groundwater discharge: Black Point, Kawaikui, and Wailupe (Richardson et al., 2015). Two of these groundwater-influenced coastal locations, Black Point and Wailupe, were considered for this study (Figure 1). Three sites (a, ‘high GW’; b, ‘intermediate GW’; and c, ‘low GW’ zones) that spanned a salinity gradient were monitored from each reef. Site A at Black Point

Surface water (waterways, streams, and lakes), which covers almost 70% of the Earth 's surface , are the principle sources of water for industrial, household, and irrigation uses making it a standout amongst the most vital players in the hydrologic and biogeochemical cycles. As critical as these surface waters may be, just a little number is maintained and found in their normal condition because of excessive anthropogenic activities, for example, urbanization and surface water contamination, in this

The groundwater of California is a serious policy matter in legislation. If there is drought, such as years like this, then management is necessary because it may encourage more pumping to supplant the water not gathered from other resources. Groundwater can account for as much as 35% of all the water used by California (cite). Unfortunately, there are not many laws established to regulate groundwater. The basins can replenish if they are pumped on a limited basis during normal or peak years. Luckily
