Integrated Water Resource Management
As defined by the Global Water Partnership, integrated water resource management is a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land, and related resources in order to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems. Resources available within this theme provide guidance on how to conserve and restore watersheds, reduce pollution, adapt to climate change and reduce risks from floods and droughts.

Published:
November 5, 1974U.S. Agency for International DevelopmentColorado State University
A three-dimensional, finite difference model was developed for simulating steady and unsteady, saturated and unsaturated flow in a stream-aquifer system. The basis of the model is the finite difference form of Richard's equation for unsaturated and saturated subsurface flow. Effects of stream...Read more
