Legal and institutional analysis of water resource management and development in Cambodia by Sithirith, Mak, Sok, Sao, De Silva, Sanjiv

“…The increased developments of infrastructures, irrigations, and hydropower powers in the Mekong region by riparian states including China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos have affected the Mekong River System and have altered the hydrological regimes of the Mekong River. These developments have further affected the flows and the volumes of water in Cambodia, particularly in Tonle Sap Lake. …”

Water management for sustainable agricultural intensification and smallholder resilience in Sub-Saharan Africa by Cofie, Olufunke O., Amede, Tilahun

“…Water management strategies and allocation policies that support agricultural intensification across agro-ecological zones and hydrologic basins are required for building resilient agrarian communities in sub-Saharan Africa.We provide an overview of the research and investments needed to enhance agriculture in the region, with a focus on technology and institutions, while describing opportunities for improving rainfed crop production.We discuss a range of water management practices in three river basins that were part of the Challenge Program onWater and Food research on Basin Development Challenges from 2009 to 2013. …”

Exploring impacts of vegetated buffer strips on nitrogen cycling using a spatially explicit hydro-biogeochemical modeling approach by Klatt, Steffen, Kraus, David, Kraft, P., Breuer, Lutz, Wlotzka, M., Heuveline, V., Haas, E., Kiese, Ralf, Butterbach-Bahl, Klaus

“…The effectiveness of a VBS to remove nitrate by denitrification strongly depends on soil characteristics and hydrological flow paths. Simulated N2 emissions from VBS with high soil moisture were up to twenty-fold compared to VBS where groundwater levels were low. …”

Water: tools and functions to estimate actual evapotranspiración using Land Surface Energy Balance Models in R by Olmedo, Guillermo Federico, Ortega Farias, Samuel, Fuente Saiz, Daniel de la, Fonseca Luengo, David, Fuentes Peñailillo, Fernando

“…This parameter is the key to develop irrigation strategies, to improve water use efficiency and to understand hydrological, climatic, and ecosystem processes. Currently, it is calculated with classical methods, which are difficult to extrapolate, or with land surface energy balance models (LSEB), such as METRIC and SEBAL, which are based on remote sensing data. …”

Bonaventure Cemetery of Savannah, Georgia and St. Roch Cemetery of New Orleans, Louisiana by Abbott, Judson

“…This cemetery's design appears to have resulted from a blending of French and Spanish cultural roots, Catholic tradition and the unique hydrological circumstances present in New Orleans. A review of these results then leads to a discussion of what cultural values the respective cemetery designs reflect.…”
