World Water Resources, Water Use and Water Management

Taikan’s section 1.2 and 1.2 Water on Earth and Components of the Water Cycle (5pages)• Why global view of hydrological cycle is relevanto Foundation for understanding on water resources
 How much water is available?
 Awareness of teleconnection, global change, etc.

II Modern tendencies of water resources use in the world1III Prediction of water use in the futureo main factors and indicators of water use
o water use scenarios
IV Water resources and water use
o load on water resources in the world
o water availability, water resources deficit

o innovated technological projects to reduce water demands in different kindof economico Groundwater
Taikan’s virtual water trade and world water resources (3 pages)• Applying the knowledge of global hydrological cycle for world water
resources assessmento Inter-annual variability and the capacity of water storage per persono Virtual water and world water resources assessment
Fu’s work on water resources management (scales down from global to regional scale).
(10 pages)• Hydrology for Better Water Resources Management (Fu)• Global water resources issues and activities• Fu’s work describes rationale for researching hydrological processes more closely
and answering fundamental questions that haven’t been answered yet.

Chapter IV

Contemporary Issues in State of the Art (Stewart)

The Hydrological System: Processes and Concepts (Susan, Stefan - 5 pages)•••

Figure and highlights of W.Quantity, W. Quality and BiogeochemicalHydrology)….few key references
System concept, holism, integration
What we recognize as importanto heterogeneity are importance and accepted conceptso scalingo feedback mechanisms
o space-time patterns and variabilityo biogeoscienceso regionalizationo integration/assimilationo non-linear processes (part of feedback)2

Measurement
List techniques and technologies that are new and innovative and can help to solve
some of our problems (perhaps in the future) and then describe examples (ie.forPrecipitation, ET/ Interception..Losses, Surface Runoff , Soil moisture , RS), Vadose
Zone, Groundwater, Snow and Ice (RS), Erosion – Water Quality) how they are used.
(Caterina to lead
RS (Satellite), Novel Point Sensors, Hydrogeophysics, network sensors, Geodesy(GPS), HydroGIS, Radar (remote, insitu) (etc.), Eddy flux correlation measurement
techniques, tracer type for sediment yield (Harouna) (10 pages)
Water Quantity and Quality Fluxes

Modelling and Prediction (20 pages)•••••••••••••

Propogation of uncertainty (Stewart, Stefan)
Disaggregation of uncertainty in sources
Data Integration/Assimilation
Model Augmentation
Numerical Implementation
Regionalization
Calibration and Verification
Global Hydrological Modelling: (Taikan)
Estimates of global hydrological cycles
o Statistics
 Physically based conceptual/empirical models, e.g., Budyko,
Baumgartner, etc.
o Model estimates Global data sets, 4DDA, remote sensing for forcing/parameter sets
 Model/computer capabilities
o Latest estimate for example:
 Water flux is relevant for water resources. Water storage is related
to the stabilization (link to water security) of hydrologicalvariability, and for probably water quality.
Global Climate Modelling (“Integrating” models intended for different scales)(Stewart)
Flood forecasting (Caterina)
Operational modeling (Caterina)
Incorporating socio-economic modeling (Agent, Universal Models) (Stewart)

Chapter V

Intersection of Hydrology and Other Disciplines (Kate)

Examples of Hydrology integrated with other disciplines. Examples of the need for an
integrative approach.
•Global Change and hydrological cycles (Taikan, Stewart, 5 pages)o Global Land use changeo Climate change: future global hydrologic cycle and water balance, andtheir variability, natural and human induced.
o Direct human interventions: Reservoirs
 Water withdrawals
 Water pollutiono Messages to be presented:
 Hydrological cycle is variable and water resources depend onflux/flow.
 Real hydrological cycle is far from natural.
•••

Urban Systems (Caterina, Kate – 5 pages)o Water quality in stormwater ponds
o Water recyclingo Small scale modelingo Cold climate issues, floodingo Rain water tanks
o Water supply – Developing Countries
o Water sensitive urban designo Wastewater issues – implications for water quality guidelines
o Increasing urbanization issues
Agriculture (FAO Report, local and regional, Johan, Kate and Susan –proposal text – 1 page)
Eco-hydrology (definition) (Kate – 3 pages)o Environmental flows
o Rehabilitation, restorationo Habitat Susceptibility (lake levels)o Guidelines, policy motivating involvement by hydrologists
o Gaps between ecologists and hydrologists

4Chapter VI Scientific and societal obstacles, gaps, bottlenecks, Social demands,
future technologies (Susan – 10 pages)
Society associated bottlenecks can be “solved” by improving hydrological statement.
