Download or read book Water Transfers in the West written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American West faces many challenges, but none is more important than the challenge of managing its water. This book examines the role that water transfers can play in allocating the region's scarce water resources. It focuses on the variety of third parties, including Native Americans, Hispanic communities, rural communities, and the environment, that can sometimes be harmed when water is moved. The committee presents recommendations to guide states, tribes, and federal agencies toward better regulation. Seven in-depth case studies are presented: Nevada's Carson-Truckee basin, the Colorado Front Range, northern New Mexico, Washington's Yakima River basin, central Arizona, and the Central and Imperial valleys in California. Water Transfers in the West presents background and current information on factors that have encouraged water transfers, typical types of transfers, and their potential negative effects. The book highlights the benefits that water transfers can bring but notes the need for more third-party representation in the processes used to evaluate planned transfers.

This book was released on 2021-08-09 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present Bulletin presents a complete response from the ‘Technical Committee of ICOLD on Dams and Water Transfer (CDWT)’ to the Terms of Reference. It starts with related global information, brings out related efforts made in countries with completely differing climate, economy, population distribution etc. about present status within and between river basins & countries – both surplus and or deficit, while recognizing the crucial role played by dams in water transfer to needy regions. It then enumerates guidelines followed in considering various options, while identifying geographical issues, limited by political territories & legal issues like water treaties. Essentially then, it dwells on possible need, potential and problems in water transfers that must be handled to overcome B/C issues faced by needy countries. In order to assist concerned professionals, the Bulletin finally elaborates on objections raised by different stake-holders in the subject and provides answers generated globally. The on-going debate world-over about WRD versus environmental impacts is then dealt with to help Member-countries overcome various issues. Le présent Bulletin présente une réponse complète du « Comité Technique sur les barrages et les transferts d’eau ». Il commence par des informations mondiales, fait ressortir les efforts déployés dans des pays au climat, à l'économie, à la répartition de la population, etc. complètement différents sur l'état actuel au sein et entre les bassins fluviaux et les pays - à la fois excédentaire et / ou déficitaire, tout en reconnaissant le rôle crucial joué par les barrages dans le transfert d'eau vers les régions nécessiteuses. Il énumère ensuite les lignes directrices suivies pour considérer diverses options, tout en identifiant les problèmes géographiques, limités par les territoires politiques et les questions juridiques comme les traités sur l'eau. Essentiellement, il s'attarde donc sur les besoins, le potentiel et les problèmes possibles des transferts d'eau qui doivent être traités pour surmonter les problèmes auxquels sont confrontés les pays dans le besoin. Afin d'aider les professionnels concernés, le Bulletin élabore enfin les objections soulevées par les différents acteurs du sujet et apporte des réponses générées globalement. Le débat en cours dans le monde entier par rapport aux impacts environnementaux est ensuite traité pour aider les pays membres à surmonter divers problèmes.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study attempts to examine those unique aspects of interbasin water transfer planning, which are of critical importance to the sustainable water resources development in India. It focuses on the crucial aspect of accurate quantification of surface water availability, which determines the entire feasibility of a water transfer. It also illustrates the impacts of upstream water resources development on the deltas’ environment thus justifying the deltas’ environmental flow requirements. The report targets government departments, research institutions and NGOs – primarily in India and other countries of the region – which are engaged or interested in issues of interbasin water transfer and environmental water management. The research intends to: contribute to the effectiveness of water resources planning and management in India; emphasize the need for urgent improvement of access to hydrometeorological data in the country; and aim to stimulate further debate on water transfers.
