Similar Concept

On 2013 Supreme court nullified Law Number 7 Year 2004 on water resources management, and reenacted Law Number 11 Year 1974 on irrigation. Law Number 7 Year 2004 considered to oppose Constitution because right to utilize water can be given to the private party or individual. Although, right to utilize water by private party have been constituted under Law Number 7 Year 2004 also have been nullified by Supreme Court; however it doesn’t close any possibilities for any private party or individual to be able to manage water resource, because on Law Number 11 Year 1974 constitute that legal entitiy, social enterprise or individual authorize to utilize water and/or water resource with certain requirement through gained permission from government. However, it is question; although Law Number 7 Year 2004 have been nullified but Law Number 11 Year 1974 still in place; though, both Laws constitute similar concept on water utilization.

Increased Risk

Droughts are risks characterized by their complexity, uncertainty, and a series of other features, which differentiate them from other natural disasters and affect the strategies designed to manage them. These characteristics highlight the close relationship between drought management and water resources management. The following hypothesis is raised in this study—unsatisfactory integration of a drought-risk and water resources management strategies, increases the vulnerability to drought. To corroborate this hypothesis, the Spanish case was analyzed, where droughts are a recurrent phenomenon, due to the Mediterranean climate. Starting from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) framework, which has been proposed to characterize vulnerability as a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, this study analyzed the vulnerability in the Spanish River Basin Districts, through—(i) the integration of the predictable effects of climate change and the increased risk of exposure in hydrologic planning; (ii) the pressure on water resources that determines the sensitivity of the systems; and (iii) the development and implementation of drought management plans as a fundamental tool, in order to adapt before these events occur. The results showed that despite important advances in the process of conceiving and managing droughts, in Spain, there are still important gaps for an adequate integration of droughts risk into the water resource strategies. Therefore, despite the improvements, drought-risk vulnerability of the systems remained high.

Sustainable Water Resources Management

<p>In many regions of the world, water supply is threatened by natural hazards such as floods and droughts, as well as by shocks induced by anthropogenic changes to water use. Lack of anticipation and/or preparation for these events can lead to delayed or insufficient responses to sudden or developing water crises, that sometimes can produce irrecoverable damage to the environment. In this work, a socio-hydrological approach to sustainable water resources management of the Alcantara River Basin in Sicily (Italy) is adopted that explicitly takes into account feedbacks between the natural and the human components that might arise from shocks to the water management system, including possible evolution of policy responses. The Alcantara River Basin is a groundwater-fed catchment which supplies many villages on the Ionian coast up to Messina city, mainly through the Alcantara aqueduct, but also agricultural areas and industries, including hydropower plants. It also hosts the Alcantara Fluvial Park, an important natural reserve. The Alcantara aqueduct also supplied the city of Messina during a temporary failure of its main aqueduct caused by a landslide in October 2015. The main purpose of the work is to use the socio-hydrological model as a “screening tool” to frame water resource management issues in a broad way and provide guidance to the community to identify aspects of societal behavior that need to evolve towards sustainable water resource management in order to withstand future shocks. This has been done by scenario simulations in conditions of a natural shock affecting the system (i.e. drought) and of a human-induced one (i.e. increase in groundwater extraction). Sensitivity analysis of the model social parameters revealed how the value attributed by the society to the environment and water resources use, its capacity to remember previous water crises and, in particular, its previous responses to shocks, can affect the system in a way that can produce paradoxical effects. Results show how a rapid decision-making strategy that may work in the short term, can be counter-productive when viewed over the long term and how a do-nothing decision during a water crisis could be highly damaging to the environment. For the above-mentioned reasons, this socio-hydrological approach can be considered as a useful tool to understand human-water dynamics and to support decision-makers in water resource management policies with a broad and long-term perspective.</p>

Water is crucial to production, and is the foundation of ecology. Building a reasonable management system for water resources is necessary and important, and it’s an inevitable requirement of our strategy of sustainable development. In the management of behavior, philosophical base determines the behavior trends. With the development of socio-economic development, the strategy of water resources management has changed a lot in China. In this paper, the problems caused by improper water resources management modes and by overly governing by people are discussed and a series of water management reform proposals are developed on the bases of the ancient Chinese management philosophy. The paper then gets the conclusion that the water resource management reform is actually following the management path from “governing by people” to “governing by nature”.

Water resource management is important for human well-being, ecosystems development and protection of existing water bodies from pollution and exploitation. Water resource management and sedimentation are carried out in Terengganu River Basin, Terengganu. The main objective is to study water resources management on sediment problems in the Terengganu River Basin. The Gravimetric method was used to analysis the TSS measured in mg/L. 250 ml water sample was needed for each study area (each station). Based on the cross section trend and the average downstream and middle section of the Sungai Terengganu system, the average TSS level is higher than the upper section. The minimum width allocation of river reserves to control development near the river is based on the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID). Finally, there are a few recommendations of sedimentation management around Terengganu River Basin that will improve the river water quality, especially in Malaysia.

Atualmente, cerca de dois bilhões de pessoas carecem de acesso à água de qualidade. No Brasil, tal situação é agravada por questões geográficas, adensamento populacional e poluição. Considerando que a bacia hidrográfica é a unidade de planejamento ambiental no Brasil, pressupõe-se que a realização de seu manejo de forma adequada e aplicação das políticas correlacionadas favorecem a promoção dos usos múltiplos da água. O presente artigo visa fornecer uma visão geral da gestão de recursos hídricos, adotando a bacia hidrográfica como unidade de manejo, abordando aspectos básicos ligados aos recursos hídricos, o histórico do sistema de gestão de recursos hídricos brasileiro e apontar elementos que podem ser empregados no manejo de bacias hidrográficas. Os esforços destinados à gestão dos recursos hídricos no Brasil se iniciaram em 1934, o manejo das bacias hidrográficas deve ser pautado na implementação de estratégias conservacionistas, do saneamento ambiental e da promoção da articulação entre os instrumentos existentes. O processo de gerenciamento deve envolver todos os interessados e os recursos arrecadados com a cobrança pelo uso da água devem favorecer a condução das ações nas bacias hidrográficas. O Grau de Hemerobia consiste em uma ferramenta útil para verificar a influência da paisagem sobre a qualidade da água e eventuais desregulações dos ecossistemas. Water resource management and hydrographic basin management in Brazil: basic elements, historic and strategies A B S T R A C TCurrently, about two billion people lack access to quality water. In Brazil, this situation is aggravated by geographical issues, population density, and pollution. Considering that the hydrographic basin is the environmental planning unit in Brazil, we assumed that the performance of its management in an appropriate manner and application of related policies favors the promotion of multiple water uses. This article aims to provide an overview of water resources management, adopting the hydrographic basin as a management unit, addressing basic aspects related to water resources, the historic of the Brazilian water resource management system and pointing out elements that can be used in the management of hydrographic basins. Efforts destined to the water resources management in Brazil began in 1934, the management of hydrographic basins must be guided by the implementation of conservationist strategies, the implementation of environmental sanitation and promoting the articulation between the existing instruments. The management process needs to involve all stakeholders and the resources collected from charging for the use of water favors the conduct of actions in hydrographic basins. The Hemeroby Degree is a useful tool for verifying the influence of the landscape on water quality and possible deregulation of the ecosystems.Keywords: Aquatic Ecosystems; Management; Planning; Environmental Policy.

AbstractOver the past decades, a number of water sciences and management programs have been developed to better understand and manage the water cycles at multiple temporal and spatial scales for various purposes, such as ecohydrology, global hydrology, sociohydrology, supply management, demand management, and integrated water resources management (IWRM). At the same time, rapid advancements have also been taking place in tracing, mapping, remote sensing, machine learning, and modelling technologies in hydrological research. Despite those programs and advancements, a water crisis is intensifying globally. The missing link is effective interactions between the hydrological research and water resource management to support implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at multiple spatial scales. Since the watershed is the natural unit for water resources management, watershed science offers the potential to bridge this missing link. This study first reviews the advances in hydrological research and water resources management, and then discusses issues and challenges facing the global water community. Subsequently, it describes the core components of watershed science: (1) hydrological analysis; (2) water-operation policies; (3) governance; (4) management and feedback. The framework takes into account water availability, water uses, and water quality; explicitly focuses on the storage, fluxes, and quality of the hydrological cycle; defines appropriate local water resource thresholds through incorporating the planetary boundary framework; and identifies specific actionable measures for water resources management. It provides a complementary approach to the existing water management programs in addressing the current global water crisis and achieving the UN SDGs.

Rainfed Farming

Agricultural production can only be sustained on a long term basis if the land, water and forests on which it is based are not degraded further. Improvements in water resources management are essential to raise agricultural productivity and reduce land degradation and water pollution.  Salinization, alkalization and water logging should be addressed by a more careful approach to drainage and the regulation of water quantities through efficient use of irrigation water, which require that water be applied to growing crops at appropriate times and in adequate. The integrated management of water resources could only be possible through adoption of efficient and optimum use of irrigation water, which could only be ensured by judicious and economic use of irrigation potential whatsoever created to increase crop production. The integrated water resources management also includes the concept of rainwater management that has got an immense important on the way to develop the rainfed farming system. It has got relevancy particularly in installing small-scale irrigation system based on farmers’ participatory approach for sustainable crop production for maintaining sustainable growth and development of agriculture. Modern irrigation techniques like sprinkler and drip should be promoted when water is scarce and the topographic and soil conditions do not permit efficient irrigation by conventional methods.  Promotions of such water saving devices should be an objective of the national water policy.  Water resource management is a integrated and multidisciplinary activity, managing irrigation water that needs agronomy and crop husbandry, efficient methods and system of irrigation needs soils scientists and engineers. More than 98% of the irrigated lands are under the coverage of surface irrigation where more than 50% of water as considered as wastages wherein effective minimization of wastage of water used for irrigation and application of right quantity of water at right time will be the key to successful management of this crucial resource. So question of judicious management of water is pertinent while prioritizing researchable issues became of national importance.

The literature shows that degrading water resources is partly due to the lack of stakeholder participation in its management. It also underscores that intensive stakeholder participation is vital for democracy, good governance, and sustainable development in water resources management. However, the gradation of stakeholder participation in water resources management has not been widely studied. I applied the extended ladder of participation in water resource management in the Densu Basin in Ghana. I collected data through 123 interviews and 26 focus group discussions in addition to an examination of policy and legal documents on water resource management. My findings show that the activities that affect the lives of the communities influence the intensity of their participation in the Densu Basin. I therefore recommend that for local people to manage their water resources sustainably and intensively, government and non-governmental agencies must link management activities with local livelihoods and create awareness of the importance of the ecosystem to community sustenance. My findings again show that inducing communities through economic incentives is only appropriate for short term water resource management needs as such incentives cannot be sustained. However, an approach that stimulates communities to participate through their own initiatives after being helped to identify their needs is likely to lead to intensive and sustainable participation in water resource management.

Degradation of watersheds and diminishing water resources lead to unsustainable environmental and socio- economic development. The hydrological characteristics are desirable for sustainable water resource exploitation. Hydrological and water resources research were examined in three case watersheds in Kenya leading to the need for integrated water resources management, environmental conservation, and watershed management plans as a result of the major challenges of climate change and variability and uncoordinated watershed resource utilization. Well-managed hydro-meteorological networks at different scales of hydrological systems have been proposed to assess potential for optimal resource use and harmony involving all stakeholders for reduced water stress and future water conflicts. Updates of information and methodologies for watershed management that emphasize collaborative efforts and use of sustainable best practices would require input of various stakeholders including Water Resources Management Authority (WRMA), Basin Authorities, and National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA).
