Assessing water resource use in livestock production: A review of methods by Ran, Ylva, Lannerstad, Mats, Herrero, Mario, Middelaar, Corina E.M. van, Boer, Imke J.M. de

“…As a result, we identify three key areas for improvement: 1) both green and blue water resources should be included in assessments, and presented separately to provide informative results; 2) water quality should not be summarized within quantitative assessments of water resource use; and 3) methods for assessing water use in livestock systems must consider the alternative uses, multiple uses and benefits of a certain resource in a specific location.…”

SALTIRSOIL: a simulation model for the mid to long-term prediction of soil salinity in irrigated agriculture by Visconti, Fernando, De-Paz, José M., Rubio, José L., Sanchez, J.

“…The SALTIRSOIL model predicts soil salinity, sodicity and alkalinity in irrigated land using basic information on soil, climate, crop, irrigation management and water quality. It extends the concept of the WATSUIT model to include irrigation and crop management practices, advances in the calculation of evapotranspiration and new algorithms for the water stress coefficient and calculation of electrical conductivity. …”

The effect of abiotic and landscape features on abundance of Anopheles larvae by Norkute, Milda

“…We conclude that Anopheles arabiensis females were ovipositing more intensively in habitats that were more stable, but the survival in such habitats was lower. We suggest that water quality may be not the main factor influencing site selection for oviposition when the climatic conditions are not favorable for the survival of the adult and immature stages. …”
