Download or read book Application of the Water Footprint Water Stress Analysis and Allocation written by Meng Xu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the water footprint (WF) concept, this book reviews WF-based water stress evaluation methods at the city, provincial and river basin levels respectively. In addition, it explores the factors that influence regional water footprint in the spatial sequence via the extended STIRPAT model. Highlighting the utilization of WF accounting in sustainable water management, one of the book’s goals is to establish the optimization model of water allocation in various industrial sectors. Based on WF accounting, which thoroughly considers the water input for production, the relevant intermediate water inputs, and the water amount for wastewater discharge dilutions, the book provides a wealth of insights for scholars and practitioners with an interest in water resources and environmental management. In addition, it exhibits a scientific plan for regional water resource utilization and allocation, helping relieve regional water shortages.

Download or read book Water Resources Management of the People s Republic of China written by Dajun Shen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-21 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores water resources management issues in China and possible solutions. It analyzes a wide range of general and specific topics, providing case studies and a balanced review of the past and present situation as well as future developments. The book begins with a general introduction and an overview of hydrology, water resources, and development issues in China. It then presents a management framework, including a management system, management institutions, river basin management, water pricing, water rights, and groundwater management, and discusses its implementation, covering water resources allocation and regulation in the Yellow River, integrated water affair management reforms, and agricultural water management in northern China. The last section focuses on the current reforms and hot topics, with strong emphasis on stringent water resource strategies applied to the river and lake principle system, recycled water use and water resources asset management, as well as climate change impacts, and concludes with a summary of the many changes in the water sector in China and a look at the road ahead and the areas that still need to be reformed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In International Groundwater Law and the US-Mexico Border Region, Maria E. Milanes provides a study and analysis of the international groundwater law. The regulation and groundwater management along the US-Mexico border reflect the current international trends for management of transboundary groundwater. International Groundwater Law and the US-Mexico Border Region offers a new international legal and institutional framework to manage fossil aquifers and groundwater in conjunctive use with surface water, where specific guidelines and recommendations for water banking can improve water allocation and protect the environment. This framework can be adapted to any region of around the world. The US-Mexico border is the case study selected to apply and demonstrate the efficacy of this legal and institutional framework.
Download or read book Management of Water Resources written by Musa Asad and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although procedures for pricing "retail" distribution have been established for a long time, methods for pricing bulk or "wholesale" water supplies are still evolving." How to finance the infrastructure and service of bulk water supply, and how to use pricing to achieve efficient allocation and use of water as a resource are the central issues that emerge from discussions about bulk water pricing. Efficiency will lead to allocating water resources better, reducing water losses caused by poor maintenance of the supply systems, and increased monitoring of water quality. At first glance, Brazil may not appear to be a relevant country from which to draw lessons in distributing scarce water resources, since it contains 12 percent of the world's fresh water supply. However, with its vast territory and issues of regional drought and population explosion, Brazil provides a unique environment in which to demonstrate how adequate pricing of bulk water on a regional level can help allocate water efficiently. This paper offers a framework for bulk water pricing reform and examines the lessons from recent analytical work and practice in Brazil, as well as relevant international experience. It then offers recommendations for the development of both water pricing and allocation policies to facilitate continued implementation of bulk water pricing in Brazil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General equilibrium analysis is shown to be a feasible tool for estimating the optimal level of public goods in a regional economy and the optimal allocation of public funds to obtain the desired level. This analysis provides a methodology for investigating the externalities associated with various forms of production. An interaction or trade mechanism is presented which will force a regional economy into equilibrium with the economy in which it is embedded: Relative prices will be identical in these economies for their common commodities. A technique is presented by which all public goods can be treated in a general equilibrium framework.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of reservoirs have contributed to human and economic development through stable water supply, flood control, hydropower generation and other benefits, but in many cases their social and environmental costs have become unacceptable. A central challenge of water resources management is the design and implementation of policies to sustainably allocate water to both humans and the environment. Because of this, there is a critical need to design and implement a framework to identify problems, evaluate performance, and systematically improve water resources management, and to develop quantitative tools to increase economic revenue and human welfare while protecting the hydrologic and environmental integrity of the basin. To address this need, this research first analyses current strategies and research gaps and then develops innovative tools to evaluate alternatives for optimal regional water allocation. The framework was applied to the Rio Grande/Bravo, and it systematically identifies the need to quantify economic impacts of including environmental water allocation, quantifies such impacts using a simulation model, and optimizes regional water allocation using a novel stochastic optimization methodology. Results show that reservoir re-operation provides an opportunity to minimize economic and environmental trade-offs to balance water management objectives and that in some cases, reservoir re-operation for environmental flows is not only hydrologically feasible but also economically desirable. Also, this research demonstrates the usefulness of using a two-stage stochastic optimization to build robust operations for multipurpose reservoirs. Stochastic modeling generally performs better than non-informed decisions and could be used to address future climate change impacts (e.g., extreme floods and droughts). Overall, this research shows the feasibility of allocating water for environmental purposes while meeting current and future social and economic water use objectives.
Download or read book Modeling Control and Optimization of Water Systems written by Thomas Rauschenbach and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides essential background knowledge on the development of model-based real-world solutions in the field of control and decision making for water systems. It presents system engineering methods for modelling surface water and groundwater resources as well as water transportation systems (rivers, channels and pipelines). The models in turn provide information on both the water quantity (flow rates, water levels) of surface water and groundwater and on water quality. In addition, methods for modelling and predicting water demand are described. Sample applications of the models are presented, such as a water allocation decision support system for semi-arid regions, a multiple-criteria control model for run-of-river hydropower plants, and a supply network simulation for public services.
