Estimation of annual water balance is critical for water management and developmental planning in the area of Anthemountas river basin. In the framework of LIFE04/ENV/GR/000099 project and in continuance to prior projects in the area, the average annual water balance was estimated using the annual...

This paper presents a step-by-step methodological approach for the development and evaluation of strategies for water deficient regions. The primary focus of the approach followed was the mitigation of water stress, while applying the principles of Integrated Water Resources Management and the EU...

The assessment of the applicability and suitability of potential measures and instruments is crucial in the strategic planning of water resources management. This paper presents a methodology founded on scenario analysis for assessing potentially applicable water management options in a regional...

In order to evaluate how current speed, salinity and water temperature stratification behaves under the influence of a freshwater source in a tidal domain, a 25 hour survey campaign was performed in the upper sector of the Vouga River estuary, the major source of freshwater of Ria de Aveiro, a...

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...

A simulation is presented of the operation of brackish karst springs with the MODKARST deterministic mathematical model. Through this simulation, major issues regarding the operation mechanisms as well as the sustainable development of the springs are addressed and analyzed. The particular case...

The Plastiras dam was constructed in the late 1950s mainly for electric power production, but it has also partially covered irrigation needs and water supply of the plain of Thessaly. Later, the site has been designated as an environment conservation zone because of ecological and landscape values...

The subject of this article is the estimation of quantitative (hydrological) and qualitative parameters in the catchment of Ronnea (1800 Km2, located in south western Sweden) through the application of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). SWAT is a river basin model that was developed for the...

The present research analyzes the behavior of Agia Varvara aquifer in Drama, Greece. A comprehensive and complete simulation-management combination model is applied, capable of calculating the water mass balance of the aquifer and defining the optimal management solution. In order to simulate the...

The two basic forms of multi-scale data assimilation procedures (FDDA), based on Newtonian relaxation, of analysis and observations nudging have been applied for precipitation event period occurred over Portugal during summer season, using the Fifth Generation Mesoscale Model (MM5) developed and...
