The California Central Valley Groundwater-Surface Water Simulation Model (C2VSim) is a useful tools for integrated regional water management plans, planning studies, groundwater storage investigations, assessing infrastructure improvements, evaluating ecosystem enhancement scenarios, conducting climate change studies, and assessing the impacts of changes to water operations.

This article evaluates the impact of climate change on the performance of existing and planned irrigation and hydropower schemes in the Ethiopian portion of the Blue Nile River. The results show that climate change will constrain the technical performance of large reservoirs with knock-on effects for agriculture and electricity production.

Source Rivers will set the new benchmark for river system modelling, allowing better management of precious water resources for all uses and demands, including the environment. Its consistent across the jurisdictions will provide a consistent, scientifically defensible and transparent approach to river management. Source Rivers will be a vital part of securing Australia’s water supplies for the future.

To regulate the Yellow River, which spans nine Chinese provinces, the Yellow River Conservancy Commission selected a System Platform solution from Wonderware.

Conducting climate, water, and decision research and developing innovative tools to bridge the boundary between scientists and decision makers and put our work into the hands of those whose concern is for the sustainable future of Greater Phoenix. To better understand how these uncertainties affect the complex tasks of water resources management, the Decision Center for a Desert City has been using a water and supply demand model, called WaterSim

About two million people across four states live in the Murray-Darling Basin.Covering more than one million square kilometres, the Basin generates more than 40 per cent of the gross value of Australian agricultural production and includes natural features and places of high environmental and cultural value. The Basin is under enormous stress due to past water-allocation decisions, prolonged drought, and climate change.

One of the great challenges facing the Murray Darling Basin Authority is deciding how much water can be taken out if the system for agricultural irrigation without jeopardising ecosystems. Now there is a model which allows administrators to calculate the needs for each sector, from year to year. Professor Quentin Grafton is based at the Australian National University and heads the team which devised the model. The team's work was recognised with a prestigious Eureka award.

The unique characteristics of Trans Himalayan biodiversity has added more glory to Upper Mustang. Due to the deteriorating pasturelands, the project has initiated various experiments so as to preserve the biodiversity in perpetuity. The conservation knowledge to everyone is a must in each and every aspect of conservation initiative.

Seminar organised by World Bank (WB) and South Asia Water Initiative (SAWI)

The objective of the seminar is to demonstrate how development partners are joining together to improve regional cooperation on international waters by focusing resources, attention, and analysis on a particular river basin: the Ganges Basin. It targets high level government officials and development partners working to improve regional cooperation on shared river basins in general, and in South Asia in particular. Including interesting links to the presentations

The USGS, WRD National Research Program (NRP) and the Water Discipline at the Alaska Science Center have been cooperating to collect baseline and process-based water quality data in the Yukon River Basin (2001-2005) as part of a research-based NASQAN study to understand the Basin’s response to climate change.

The USRB is located in southwest China and stretches from the tropical south-east in Yunnan Province to the sub-frigid semi-arid northwest in Xizhang (Tibet) province. The Salween river is, along with the Yellow river, Yangkzhe, Mekong, Indus and Bramaputra, one of the great rivers which has its source on the Tibetan plateau.
