This book was released on 2007-06-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies of past climate and streamflow conditions have broadened understanding of long-term water availability in the Colorado River, revealing many periods when streamflow was lower than at any time in the past 100 years of recorded flows. That information, along with two important trends-a rapid increase in urban populations in the West and significant climate warming in the region-will require that water managers prepare for possible reductions in water supplies that cannot be fully averted through traditional means. Colorado River Basin Water Management assesses existing scientific information, including temperature and streamflow records, tree-ring based reconstructions, and climate model projections, and how it relates to Colorado River water supplies and demands, water management, and drought preparedness. The book concludes that successful adjustments to new conditions will entail strong and sustained cooperation among the seven Colorado River basin states and recommends conducting a comprehensive basinwide study of urban water practices that can be used to help improve planning for future droughts and water shortages.

Download or read book Coping with Drought Risk in Agriculture and Water Supply Systems written by Ana Iglesias and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-01-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last three decades drought episodes have resulted in severe social problems in Mediterranean countries, receiving broad attention from the international scientific and policy communities. The experiences in the development and implementation of drought management plans highlight the success and challenges of coping with drought for societies with different vulnerabilities and emphasize risk-based drought management as a critical approach to mitigate the impacts associated to drought-induced water shortages. Based on these experiences and the current methods for evaluating risk, the book synthesises guidelines for drought management that link science and policy and that can be applied to other regions. The book comprises a collection of papers divided into four sections that appeal to a broad audience. First, the social and hydrological context of Mediterranean countries is presented, discussing the interactions that have resulted in the complex institutional framework, and highlighting the importance of stakeholder involvement and awareness building for successful drought management. This section emphasises the role of organizations, institutions, and civil stakeholders involved in drought preparedness and mitigation and/or on water management for designing effective risk based strategies that mitigate the effects of drought in agriculture and water supply systems. Second, the book presents an academic approach to risk evaluation, including characterization of drought episodes, development of indicators of risk in hydrological and agricultural systems, and analysis of the role of economic instruments and groundwater for risk mitigation. This section finalises with the description of an integrated method for evaluating social vulnerability based on indicators that include the capacity to anticipate, cope, and respond to drought. The third section includes a collection of case studies that include the description of effective measures taken in the past. These case studies provide the context for developing demand driven guidelines that may be applied to other regions. The authors of these chapters can be viewed as stakeholders in drought management, since they represent a broad range of sectors and institutions from Mediterranean European and North African countries. The topics addressed have implications for the international policy community interested in disaster mitigation, agricultural policy, and development. Finally a synthesis of the management actions is presented in four chapters. Monitoring and preparedness planning is the essential first step for moving from disaster to risk management in response to drought. The management actions related to agriculture and water supply systems are presented in two different chapters but with a common conceptual framework based on the use of drought indicators for evaluating the levels of drought risk (pre-alert, alert, and emergency), that allow establishing linkages between science and policy. The final chapter discuses the lessons learned and application to other regions.

This book was released on 2008-01-10 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on an International Workshop held in New Delhi, India, this work should be of interest to all organizations and agencies interested in improved risk management in agriculture. In many parts of the world, weather and climate are one of the biggest production risks and uncertainty factors impacting on agricultural systems performance and management. Both structural and non-structural measures can be used to reduce the impacts of the variability (including extremes) of climate resources on crop production.

Download or read book Coping with Seasonality and Drought written by Martha Alter Chen and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1991-09-11 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initiated when the state of Gujarat was suffering a severe drought, this landmark volume is one of the few studies available on this natural disaster. The study describes and analyzes the strategies adopted by different types of households to cope with seasonality and the harsh ecological conditions. Dr. Chen explores the spatial and temporal dimensions of the drought, the drought's impact on different occupational groups, and both community and official responses. She focuses on the differences between seasonal crisis-coping strategies, the sequence and timing of these strategies, and the options and objectives which influence the choice of strategies. Two dimensions of household coping strategies are of particular interest: the significance of gender as a basic variable in understanding household behavior; and the centrality of non-market resources, activities, relationships, and institutions to household livelihoods. Coping with Seasonality and Drought will interest both students and professionals in anthropology, development economics, gender studies, social and economic change. "Clearly organized and written, this book offers model descriptive and analytical frameworks for considering livelihoods and coping strategies . . . a careful study." --The Annals "An important and useful book. . . . The reviewer warmly recommends a perusal of this excellent book." --Indian Journal of Agricultural Economics
