Managing Basin Interdependencies in a Heterogeneous, Highly Utilized and Data Scarce River Basin in Semi-Arid Africa (eBook, ePUB)

The Case of the Pangani River Basin, Eastern Africa

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a quantitative assessment of green and blue water uses and their interactions. The book makes a novel contribution by developing a hydrological model that can quantify not only green but also blue water use by many smallholder farmers scattered throughout the landscape. The book provides an innovative framework for mapping ecological productivity and gross returns from water consumed in agricultural and natural vegetation. The book provides a multi-objective optimization analysis involving green and blue water users, including the environment. The book also assesses the uncertainty levels of using remote sensing data in water resource management at river basin scale.
