  Modeling scenarios for water allocation in the Gediz Basin, Turkey

  International Water Management Institute, 2001

  This article describes the use of a distributed hydrologic model to evaluate different data scenarios. The study attempted to answer questions such as; what will happen to the basin water resources if: a) there is a change in climate? b) it is decided that more water must be retained in the river for environmental reasons?

  Special Report - water Issues between Nepal, India & Bangladesh: a review of literature

  Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies, India, 2010

  After a thorough examination of the available literature on water issues between Bangladesh, India and Nepal, the author has observed that there is an acute lack of scholarly work on issues pertaining to water issues in South Asia. Most of the work available is in the form of newspaper articles. Additionally, the available reports do not provide an objective assessment of water issues.

  Carbon, land and water: a global analysis of the hydrologic dimensions of climate change mitigation through afforestation / reforestation.

  International Water Management Institute, 2006

  This report highlights the potentially significant impacts on the hydrologic cycle and the importance of considering secondary effects, particularly with regard to water, resulting from the widespread adoption of global climate change mitigation measures.

  Mapping drought patterns and impacts: a global perspective.

  International Water Management Institute, 2009

  The study examines the global pattern and impacts of droughts through mapping several drought-related characteristics - either at a country level or at regular grid scales. It appears that arid and semi-arid areas also tend to have a higher probability of drought occurrence.

  Impacts of climate change on water resources and agriculture in Sri Lanka: a review and preliminary vulnerability mapping.

  International Water Management Institute, 2010

  There is ample evidence to suggest that Sri Lanka’s climate has already changed. However, the bigger question of national importance is what Sri Lanka’s climate will look like in 50 or 100 years and how prepared the country is to face such changes.

  Climate change, water and agriculture in the Greater Mekong subregion

  International Water Management Institute, 2010

  The impacts of climate change on agriculture and food production in Southeast Asia will be largely mediated through water, but climate is only one driver of change. Water resources in the region will be shaped by a complex mixture of social, economic and environmental factors.

  The impacts of water infrastructure and climate change on the hydrology of the Upper Ganges River Basin

  International Water Management Institute, 2011

  This study assessed the variability of flows under present and 'naturalized' basin conditions in the Upper Ganges Basin (UGB). Furthermore, the PRECIS regional climate model (RCM) was used to generate climate projections for the UGB, with subsequent simulations of future river flows.

  The water resource implications of changing climate in the Volta River Basin

  International Water Management Institute, 2012

  The Volta River is one of the major rivers in Africa. In this study, a dynamic regional climate model (CCLM), a hydrological model (SWAT) and a water resource model (WEAP) were used to provide an assessment of one downscaled ‘middle impact’ climate change scenario on the performance of existing and planned irrigation and hydropower schemes.

  Glacier systems and seasonal snow cover in six major Asian river basins: hydrological role under changing climate

  International Water Management Institute, 2013

  The hydrological roles of glaciers and seasonal snow in the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Amu Darya, Syr Darya and Mekong basins are, for the first time, assessed comprehensively at a major river basin scale in this paper.

  Agriculture, irrigation and poverty reduction in Cambodia: policy narratives and ground realities compared.

  International Water Management Institute, 2013

  The fieldwork and review of the current literature on which this report is based was undertaken as a contribution to an assessment of the current status of agriculture in Cambodia, with an emphasis on the linkages between agriculture and water, mainly in the form of irrigation.
