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.

Maximum Water Delivery in Irrigation
Published:
August 1, 1971U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
In order to increase the water delivery efficiency of an existing irrigation system, it is proposed that modern mathematical optimization techniques be applied to the management of irrigation water delivery. A deterministic mathematical model is developed to simulate the events that occur in...Read more

Development of Aids for Teaching Systems Analysis of Watershed Management
Published:
January 1, 1971U.S. Agency for International Development
Education in the system analysis of watershed management consists of both the acquisition of factual knowledge and the development of a decision making capacity. The applied utility of computers can provide an efficient, and often the only approach to obtaining solutions both to real world problems...Read more
Operations Research Study of Water Resources: Pt. 1, Methodology and Problems in an Urbanized Arid Environment
Published:
October 1, 1970U.S. Agency for International Development
The methodology of operations research is judged in relation to its utility to water resource management in an urbanized arid environment and to the study of worth of data for such management. Conditions for existence of a managerial problem are reviewed as is the multilevel structure of the...Read more

Argentina, Latin America and the CaribbeanBibliography of Interception
Published:
January 1, 1970U.S. Agency for International Development
The main purpose of the bibliography is to provide a reference of literature for use but if it proves useful to working on hydrologic problems of underdeveloped countries, it is all to the good. Among all wild land hydrologic processes, interception has been the most frequently studied.Read more
