One of the most important objectives in the world is to improve rational water resources management methods. In this regard, the rational management of water resources and optimal water resources distribution, especially on on-farm systems, are considered very important. In this direction, given the negative consequences that have developed over the past more than 40 years in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River, the need to improve the methods of effective management of water resources in the Aral Sea basin is urgent.

Pollution Loads

The basic aim of this paper is to present the existing conditions and problems of water resources management in Greece. Water demand has increased tremendously over the past 30 years. Despite adequate precipitation, water imbalance is often experienced, due to temporal and regional variations of the precipitation, the increased water demand during the summer months and the difficulty of transporting water due to the mountainous terrain. Integration of reclaimed wastewater originating from the wastewater treatment plant effluents into the water resources management is proposed. This plan exhibits the potential for reducing the pollution loads entering sea or inland waters, while at the same time providing water for irrigation.

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.

Integrated water resources management (IWRM) is described as a holistic approach to manage water efficiently, equitably, and sustainably. This paper presents a case study where cooperative strategy building among diverse stakeholders (researchers, potato farmers, and government regulators) resulted in significant water conservation for the on-farm washing of potatoes on a large potato operation (31% reduction per unit of potatoes sold). Water was reduced by applying modified IWRM methods, including (i) goal setting, where common goals with all three parties were outlined; (ii) initial assessment, where farm water use was monitored in detail for one year; (iii) cooperative strategy building, where monitoring results were presented and potential water-use reduction strategies were brainstormed; (iv) implementation, where strategies were put into place on the farm; and (v) final assessment, where water use was monitored for a second year, after conservation strategies were in place, and the efficacy of the strategies was determined. This case study demonstrates the value of IWRM, through cooperation among researchers, farmers, and the regulators, for improving water management in agriculture.
