Ecological Water Requirements

Currently, Phuket Island is facing water scarcity because water demand for consumption was approximately 51 million m3/year, whereas water supply was only about 46 million m3/year. Thus, the study of water supply, demand and balancing are important for effective water resources management. This study aims to simulate the LULC data using the CLUE-S model, estimate water supply using the SWAT model, and calculate water demand using a water footprint basis for water balancing on the Island. In addition, tourist water demand was separately estimated under normal and new normal conditions (COVID-19 pandemic) to fit with the actual situation at national and international levels. Water balance results with the consideration of ecological water requirements suggest that a water deficit occurs every year under the dry year scenario in normal and new normal conditions. In addition, the monthly water balance indicates that a water deficit occurs in the summer season every year, both without and with the consideration of ecological water requirements. Consequently, it can be concluded that remote sensing data with advanced geospatial models can provide essential information about water supply, demand, and balance for water resources management, particularly water scarcity, in Phuket Island in the future. Additionally, this study’s conceptual framework and research workflows can assist government agencies in examining water deficits in other areas.

The Creation

The decrease of available water resources, the water quality degradation as well as the rapid increase of population combined with the growth of human activities, impose today the development of a science that concerns the Management of Water Resources. Lake Volvi faces a lot of problems, the most important being the water level drop, which is mostly due to the big quantities of water flowing through to Rihios River and to the wrong management of irrigation water. The study area of the present research consists of the watershed of Lake Volvi, situated in Northern Greece, 39 km away from the city of Thessaloniki. The objective of this study is the estimation of the water balance of the hydrologic basin of Lake Volvi with a Corporate Management program, using Visual Fortran and the creation of scenarios for better management of the water resources of the region. Lake Volvi is situated next to Lake Koronia, both of them belonging to a wider region that forms the geological basin of Mygdonia. Lake Volvi is the recipient of the water draining from Lake Koronia. The water that drains from Lake Volvi is discharged into the gulf of Strymonikos through Rihios River. Firstly, a close analysis is attempted for the estimation of the water balance of the entire hydrologic basin of Lake Volvi with the method of Turc, which is used widely throughout the world. Next, in order to simulate the lake, an administrative model is used, written in Visual Fortran. A rational management of the hydrological elements of the region is attempted with the creation of four alternative scenarios. After the execution of the Corporate Management program, the results show that the main problem for Lake Volvi is the water leaking to Rihios River. Moreover, the research also shows that it is important to reduce the water used for irrigation. As a final result, it is an imperative need to develop water resources management plans for the restoration of the entire region.

The Impact

A study on the impact of silvicultural practices on the water balance was carried out in a watershed in Calabria, southern Italy, the prevalent cover of which is Calabrian pine stands. A thinning was carried out in 1993, which removed 50% of the total number of trees (about 30% of the basal area), and the catchment hydrological response before and after the intervention was compared. After thinning, differences were observed in yearly runoff, with a significant increase in groundwater flow during spring and summer. In light of this evidence, we assume that silvicultural interventions can contribute significantly to improve water resources management, particularly in regions with a long dry season, as in the Mediterranean area. Key words: Pinus laricio, runoff, small catchment, thinning, water resources management
