Integrated Water Resource Management
As defined by the Global Water Partnership, integrated water resource management is a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land, and related resources in order to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems. Resources available within this theme provide guidance on how to conserve and restore watersheds, reduce pollution, adapt to climate change and reduce risks from floods and droughts.

Cutthroat Flume Discharge Relations

March 1, 1972U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
The purpose of this study is to rate a group of cutthroat flumes which have the same geometric shape. Because of geometric similarity, the behavior of all flumes which are dimensionally similar to those tested should be capable of being predicted within a degree of accuracy suited for field use...Read more
Culverts as Flow Measuring Devices
Published:
February 1, 1972U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
Culverts are encountered throughout irrigation systems. Many of these culverts operate under free surface flow conditions. Usually, the flow depths in the culvert are governed by downstream flow conditions. This particular flow condition can be described as free surface outlet control. Only an...Read more
Problem of Water Scheduling in West Pakistan, Research Studies and Needs
Published:
November 1, 1971U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
The capacity to build and maintain the irrigation system has exceeded the capacity to manage the allocation of water for maximum agricultural production. The irrigation system was not designed to supply total crop water needs plus leaching requirements, but rather to provide sufficient water during...Read more

Published:
August 1, 1971U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado State University
In order to increase the water delivery efficiency of an existing irrigation system, it is proposed that modern mathematical optimization techniques be applied to the management of irrigation water delivery. A deterministic mathematical model is developed to simulate the events that occur in...Read more
