This document discusses modeling water allocation in the transboundary Umbeluzi River between Mozambique and Swaziland. It presents the research objectives of assessing requirements for integrated water resource management in transboundary systems using water allocation models. The main results section describes applying three water allocation models (WEAP21, WRYM, SBM) to estimate water demand and natural runoff in the Umbeluzi River basin by 2025. The models analyze the reliability of water supply for key users and find frequent shortages for some users, with deficits lasting up to 57 months. The conclusions state that intensive cooperation is needed for water sharing in drought-prone regions and that additional tools are needed to assess the severity

This document summarizes SJRA's Groundwater Reduction Plan program in Montgomery County. It discusses that Montgomery County faced a water supply problem due to groundwater regulations. SJRA proposed a conjunctive use solution pumping surface water from Lake Conroe, which 85 local entities agreed to. Phase 1 of the program included a 30 mgd water treatment plant, 52 mile transmission system, and modifications to deliver surface water to six participants and reduce groundwater use. The $490 million project is the largest civil works project in the county. It highlights construction communication strategies, customer review committees, transparency reporting, and using competitive proposals to engage local vendors for the project.
Water sources in Central Asia
The document discusses water resources in Central Asia, focusing on three river basins:
The Syr Darya basin, which flows through Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan. Increasing agricultural water use in upstream countries like Kyrgyzstan has reduced availability for downstream countries.
The Talas basin, where a 1983 agreement equally divided the flow between Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Kyrgyzstan supplied less water than agreed in some years.
The Zerafshan basin, where early conflicts centered on water pollution. Plans exist for hydropower projects but only one has been selected so far despite arguments it would not affect downstream Uzbekistan.

This increased foundation will result in greater protection of each river’s values through development of its CRMP.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand the provisions of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (WSRA) that guide management of a designated WSR.
• Share the management implications of designation within the river-administering agency and with local, federal and state governments, tribal governments, landowners and nongovernmental organizations.
• Provide guidance for decision makers relative to proposed projects and new decisions on federal lands prior to completion of the CRMP.
• Know the general contents and key elements of a CRMP.
• Develop an integrated approach for preparation of a CRMP.
Participants will increase their knowledge in:
• Protections provided in the WSRA.
• The application of the protect and enhance mandate of Section 10(a) to interim management and development of a CRMP.
• How to evaluate a proposed project or new decision on federal land prior to completion of a CRMP.
• How to prepare a detailed river corridor boundary.

Benter, Water Rates
The document discusses the transfer of water and sewer utility regulation in Texas from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) in 2013-2015. It outlines the PUC's mission and provides details on the new regulatory classifications and requirements for investor-owned utilities under the PUC, including more stringent filing requirements for larger Class A utilities. It also notes trends in the regulated water/sewer industry around infrastructure needs, sales of utilities, and conservation rate structures.
Groundwater Management in Light of Day and Bragg
The document summarizes groundwater management approaches between the North Plains Groundwater Conservation District and Edwards Aquifer Authority. It describes how the North Plains GCD allows production based on land ownership and tract size to protect property rights, while the EAA Act led to takings claims since it did not consider property rights in initially permitting regular amounts. Had the Day and Bragg cases occurred under the North Plains GCD, the parties would have been allocated production based on their land ownership to avoid takings issues. The conclusion is that groundwater districts can craft rules to address property rights without creating takings like the EAA Act did.
Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed
The document discusses the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC), which was created by interstate compact in 1961 to manage water resources in the Delaware River Basin. The DRBC was formed to address issues like water supply shortages, flooding, and pollution that individual states could not adequately solve alone. The DRBC regulates water withdrawals and discharges, floodplains, and other projects affecting water resources. It also updates a comprehensive water management plan every 5 years and declares drought warnings when needed. The DRBC works collaboratively with the states through administrative agreements.
Groundwater Management GMA/GCD Panel
This document discusses groundwater management in Texas. It summarizes sections of the Texas Water Code that require Groundwater Management Areas (GMAs) and Groundwater Conservation Districts (GCDs) to consider factors like aquifer uses, water supply needs, hydrological conditions, environmental impacts, socioeconomic impacts, and property interests when proposing Desired Future Conditions (DFCs) for relevant aquifers every five years. DFCs must provide a balance between groundwater production and conservation. The Texas Water Development Board then models available groundwater based on adopted DFCs and provides this to GCDs and regional planning groups. GCDs must issue permits up to the point of achieving applicable DFCs, considering modeled available

This document summarizes assessments of challenges to implementing integrated water resources management (IWRM) in the Arab region. It discusses four major efforts to assess IWRM status in the region since 2000. The analyses show that while the water-scarce Arab region is committed to IWRM, levels of implementation vary. Key challenges include raising awareness of IWRM among stakeholders, generating political will for IWRM among decision-makers, and the need for more regional coordination. Progress has been made through national IWRM plans and policies, but full implementation is still required to achieve targets like those of the World Summit on Sustainable Development.

Day2 1 3
The document provides an overview of transboundary water management in the SADC region. It discusses the SADC's institutional structure related to water management and key regional instruments like the SADC Protocol on Shared Watercourses. It notes the region has 15 shared river basins and 20 transboundary aquifers. Major challenges include limited understanding and management of transboundary groundwater resources. Tools discussed to address these include a regional groundwater monitoring network, mapping of groundwater dependent ecosystems, and assessing groundwater drought vulnerability and valuation. A SADC Groundwater Management Institute is proposed to help with capacity building, research, coordination and financing of sustainable groundwater management.
Vision for ground water management
This document discusses groundwater usage and management in India. It notes that groundwater provides 38% of India's total usable water resources and is critical for irrigation, rural drinking water, and urban water supply. However, over 60% of assessment units have been designated as overexploited, and groundwater levels are declining in many areas. The Central Ground Water Board's new scheme aims to shift from groundwater development to management through comprehensive aquifer mapping, formulation of aquifer management plans, capacity building, and regulation. Key goals are improving data accuracy, managing aquifers at the local level through participation, and achieving water security and sustainability. Major initiatives include the National Aquifer Mapping project and participatory groundwater management programs.
Water Indicators
The document discusses monitoring water indicators for SDG Target 6.4 on water use efficiency and water stress. It outlines the definitions, methods of computation, and rationale for two indicators - 6.4.1 on change in water use efficiency over time, and 6.4.2 on level of water stress as freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available resources. It provides country-level data on the indicators and discusses challenges countries may face in monitoring them and how FAO can provide support.

Cascao hh6 session2_chh_on_ground_nile
This document discusses changes in the balance of power in the Nile Basin, including the addition of South Sudan as a new riparian state, new infrastructure projects like the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, and Ethiopia taking a more assertive stance. It argues that upstream states are gaining bargaining power and challenging the historical status quo dominated by Egypt through counter-hegemonic actions. There is a debate around whether the Cooperative Framework Agreement and shift towards more bilateral and trilateral cooperation represents a new paradigm that could tip the balance of power towards upstream states.

This presentation discusses multi-level counter-hegemony in the Nile region resulting from the construction of large-scale dams. It examines hegemony and counter-hegemony at the global, regional, national and local levels. Examples of major dams discussed include the Aswan High Dam, Merowe and Kajbar Dams in Sudan, and the Grand Renaissance Dam in Ethiopia. The presentation questions how the status quo of hydropolitical relations between Nile countries can be challenged through various means.HH6 Counter-hydro-hegemony in the Nile Basin
This document discusses changes in the balance of power in the Nile Basin, including the addition of South Sudan as a new riparian state, new infrastructure projects like the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, and Ethiopia taking a more assertive stance in developing the Nile's waters. It argues that upstream states are gaining bargaining power and challenging the historical status quo dominated by Egypt. There is a possibility that the Cooperative Framework Agreement, if ratified, could establish a new framework for cooperation over the Nile's waters.
Breaking Waters, the Birth of a New Nile State
This document discusses the political dynamics around water sharing in the Nile River Basin. It notes that the basin covers 10 riparian states and 160 million people. Historically there have been tensions between upstream and downstream states over issues like uneven water distribution and inequitable utilization. The document outlines how Egypt had dominated decisions around Nile water usage as the main downstream state. However, it suggests recent political changes like South Sudan's independence and the Egyptian revolution may shift power dynamics and lead upstream states to push for more influence over Nile water governance.
