<Para ID="Par1">A physical model that consisted of a glass reinforced plastic model, constructed to a 1:25,000 horizontal scale and with a 1:125 vertical scale of the Severn estuary was designed and fitted into a tidal basin at Cardiff University. The model, which was first of its kind, was used to conduct...</para>

This report is based on the progress of the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Program (EDPRP) in Georgia. It highlights the status of measures intended for rapid and sustainable economic development in the country through further fine-tuning of administrative mechanisms, increase of...

The Index of Drinking Water Adequacy (IDWA) was first introduced in the Asian Water and Development Outlook 2007, a report issued by the Asian Development Bank. The computation of the index (more recently christened IDWA-I) calls for data on five different parameters—resources, capacity,...

Forest land use is often associated with the protection of water resources from contamination and the reduced cost of drinking water supply. This study attempted to measure the value of the forest on the quality of water resources from a contingent market, namely drinking water supply, by...

Demand for locally-produced food is growing in areas outside traditionally dominant agricultural regions due to concerns over food safety, quality, and sovereignty; rural livelihoods; and environmental integrity. Strategies for meeting this demand rely upon agricultural land use change, in...

We examine how much on-farm reservoirs can increase groundwater quantity and improve surface water quality using a spatial-dynamic model of farm profit maximization in the Arkansas Delta. Sensitivity analysis of the farm profit objective by including the value of surface water quality and the...

Examination of water in reservoirs of Ukraine by passive monitoring methods allows to detect content of heavy metals in amounts that greatly exceed the MPC. This paper deals with results of the monitoring of toxic substances in the small rivers of the Kiev region, which are caused by the...

Im Arbeitsbericht werden Ergebnisse zur Berechnung und Analyse der Nährstoffbilanzierung der Jahre 2007 und 2010 auf Gemeindeebene für das Land Schleswig-Holstein vorgestellt und deren Datengrundlage, die Methodik und Unsicherheiten diskutiert. Es zeigt sich, dass die Nährstoffüberschüsse...

Optimal recycling of minerals can be thought of as an integral part of the theory of the mine. In this paper, we consider the role that wastewater recycling plays in the optimal extraction of groundwater, a renewable resource. We develop a two-sector dynamic optimization model to solve for the...
