Approaching sustainable stormwater management by Gyllenbäck, Angelica

“…That is, what the relations between our urban design and the natural (urban) hydrologic cycle are. Solutions can be achieved in many ways, but the foundation has to be cast from the knowledge of interactions between the hydrologic cycle and an urban area, as well as the comparison and learning from the natural hydrologic cycle. …”

Infiltration rates, surface runoff, and soil loss as influenced by grazing pressure in the Ethiopian highlands by Mwendera, E.J., Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.

“…More research is needed to quantify annual biophysical changes in order to assess cumulative long-term effects of grazing and trampling on vegetation, soil, and hydrology of grazing lands. Modelling such effects is essential for land use planning in this fragile highland environment.…”

Mapping agricultural responses to water supply shocks in large irrigation systems, southern India by Biggs, Trent W., Gangadhara Rao, Parthasaradhi, Bharati, Luna

“…In this paper, hotspots of agricultural change were mapped and put in the context of hydrology and water management. Time series of MODIS imagery taken every eight days before (2001-2002) and during (2002-2003) the supply shock were combined with agricultural census data to document changes in cropping patterns in four large irrigation projects in the downstream sections of the Krishna and Godavari River basins (total command area 18,287km2). …”
