This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication summarizes the strengths, challenges, opportunities, and risks characterizing the prospects for integrated water resources management in Indonesia. Integrated water resources management planning is essential for sustainable growth. Indonesia’s rapid economic growth, increasing populations, and trends in developing and urbanizing environments are leading to potential conflicts as more users claim the same water resources. Understanding these conditions may provide decision makers with more insight to optimize the country’s water resources potential using available and state-of-the-art methodologies and tools for river basin planning. The report discusses all aspects of basin planning based on experiences from one of Indonesia’s most complex and strategic river basins.

Download or read book Water Resources Systems of the Philippines Modeling Studies written by Guillermo Q. Tabios III and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a number of modeling studies of various water resources systems in the humid tropics and the typical short, steep mountain-to-coast systems in the archipelagic setting of the Philippines. Covering natural and rural systems, urban watersheds and built systems, such as reservoirs and flood control systems, it discusses modeling studies based on pure simulation and combined optimization-simulation. The book offers insights into real-world water resources modeling, and as such is a valuable resource for academics and practitioners in the Philippines, as well as those in other Asian regions with similar water resources systems, and similar issues, problems and concerns.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of climate change on the hydrology and water resources of the Bhumibol Dam, upper Ping River basin, Thailand are assessed by utilizing the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report Emission Scenarios (IPCC SRES)-climate scenarios during the 21st century from the fifth generation atmospheric general circulation model of the European Center for Medium Range Weather Prediction (ECHAM5) and the Community Climate System Model version 3.0 (CCSM3). The hydrologic response of streamflow in the upper Ping River basin to the climate change is performed under A1B, A2 and B1 with total 12 projections. The Watershed Environmental Hydrology-Hydro Climate Model (WEHY-HCM) is used to perform dynamical downscaling from the global atmospheric scale (~200 km) to the regional atmospheric scale over the study basin via the MM5 regional atmospheric model at 9 km grid resolution and hourly time intervals. The watershed module then couples the atmospheric and the land surface hydrology processes with its physically based model further, and simulates the watershed flows. The Global Climate Model (GCM)-historical control runs (1971 to 2000) were downscaled, corrected for their bias, and tested for the models' performance by a goodness of fit of model and observed flow cumulative distribution functions. The projected flows from 2001 to 2015 and observed flows were compared, and showed a projected range covering the observed time series. From the established GCMs' reliability in producing future climate variables, the future hydrologic flows of the study area can be generated and the effects of the climate change can be studied. Based on the ensemble average of 12 realizations, the results show that toward the end of 21st century the future projected flows yield a significant upward trend when tested by the Mann-Kendall trend test at 95% confidence level. The study basin will have a streamflow increase of 17.3% (6.36 billion m3) on average, compared to the average flows from 1988 to 2015 (5.24 billion m3). These flows will supply the Bhumibol Dam, which has a total storage of 13.4 billion m3 and active storage of 9.7 billion m3. Thus, the increase in the ensemble mean accumulated annual flow is still less than the dam storage capacity, which will have space to receive additional water at about 4 to 8 billion m3 of the active and total storage, respectively. However, the flood management, the dam operation policy and its structure must be investigated further in detail for the effect of climate change conditions specifically in terms of the effect of natural variability and the effect of maximum flood discharge, which are beyond this research scope. Water balance simulation results show an extreme drought during the first half of the century, and the water shortage situation will decline thereafter due to more projected inflows after 2070. The possible drought mitigation solution of the Bhumibol Dam is by water transfer from a neighboring watershed. This study found that by transferring water to fill the Bhumibol Dam by at least 25% (1,355 mcm) of mean annual discharge (5,241 mcm) would reduce water deficit dramatically at the end of the 21st century. However, water diversion at 35% (1,897 mcm) of the mean annual discharge yields the highest rate of reducing water deficit, and the water transfer at 50% (2,710 mcm) is the optimal volume to minimize the water deficit. Moreover, the water transfer at 80% (4,336.96) of mean annual discharge may be a better solution when the future water demand estimates at the end of the 21st century are included into water balance computations. This study provides a preliminary solution to alleviate a prolonged drought at the Bhumibol Dam reservoir, which would occur every year during the first half of the century. The possible and effective drought mitigation for the Bhumibol Dam, a water diversion project to increase water supply of the dam, may be possible, and needs to be studied in more detail with the consideration of floods as well in a future study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors describe and analyze an unconventional approach to river basin management in a developing country undergoing rapid economic, political, and institutional change. The founding of the Brantas River Basin Management Corporation (Perum Jasa Tirta I - PJT 1), a national state-owned company for river basin management, initiated an emphasis on river basin management to operate and maintain existing infrastructure, plan and implement the allocation of water, and address problems that affect basin-level water resources. The Brantas River basin is located within the province of East Java in Indonesia. It has an area of approximately 11,800 square kilometers and makes up 25 percent of East Java's land area. The basin's population, which amounts to nearly 15 million, has increased by 53.4 percent over the past 30 years and represents 42.4 percent of East Java's population with a density of 1,249 per square kilometer. A shift has taken place in Indonesia since the mid-1990s from emphasizing infrastructure development to strengthening institutional aspects (hydrology, flood fighting, flood warning, flood management, and so on). The institutional arrangement for water resources management in the Brantas basin through a state-owned corporation is an interesting model. PJT I has achieved results in implementing a reasonably good system of water allocation and management and a reliable flood forecasting system, as well as maintaining major infrastructure in fairly good condition. Managing water quality, catchment conditions, and the river environment, however, are the responsibility of many entities, and there is need for greater coordination and authority to address these issues.
