In this study we assess the impact of climate change on the hydro- logical cycle of an Alpine catchment and on the management of hy- dropower systems. We apply the traditional climate change impact study approach, known in the literature as “scenario-based” approach, to the case study of Lake Como catchment. The “scenario-based” ap- proach consists in employing a modelling chain, which comprises the definition of Green House Gases emission scenarios, the simulation of climate models and hydrological models, and the simulation of the impact on water resources.
We take into account an ensemble of climate scenarios, comprising two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), seven General Circulation Models (GCMs) and five Regional Circulation Models (RCMs). The analysis of the climate scenarios on the domain of inter- est shows an increase in temperature and a seasonal shift in precip- itation, causing drier summers and more rainy winters. We apply a statistical downscaling to the climate scenarios in order to match the adequate spatial resolution needed for hydrological modelling. We adopt Topkapi-ETH, a physically-based and fully distributed hydro- logical model, to reproduce the response of the catchment hydrology to climate change. The employment of a spatially distributed model is due to the possibility of assessing the impact of climate change on different areas of the catchment. Moreover, Topkapi-ETH allows to simulate anthropogenic infrastructures such as reservoirs and river diversions, which are widely present in the Lake Como catchment. The simulation results over the XXI century scenario show a seasonal shift in the hydrological cycle, with lower flow in summer, higher flow in winter, and an earlier snowmelt peak. This results in different patterns of storage building in the Alpine hydropower reservoirs. Finally, we analyze the uncertainty on hydro-climatic variables asso- ciated to climate modelling. Results show that the uncertainty related to the choice of the GCM is the most critical, but comparable to the one of the RCM. The choice of the RCP is generally less crucial for short lead times, but it increases in relative terms for longer lead times.

Evaluating Satellite Precipitation Error Propagation in Runoff Simulations of...Yiwen Mei
This study investigates the error characteristics of six quasi-global satellite precipitation products and associated error propagation in flow simulations for 16 mountainous basin scales (areas ranging from 255 to 6967 km2) and two different periods (May-Aug & Sep-Nov) in northeast Italy. The satellite products used in this study are 3B42-CCA, 3B42-V7, CMORPH and PERSIANN with their respect gauge-adjusted products. To evaluate the error propagation in flood simulations satellite precipitation datasets were used to force a gauge-calibrated hydrologic model to simulate runoff for the 16 basins, and comparing them to the gauge-driven simulated hydrographs for a range of moderate to high flood events spanning a nine-year period (2002 to 2009). Statistics describing the systematic and random error, the temporal similarity and error ratios between precipitation and runoff are presented.

Presentation highlights the potential of satellite data products, modeling tools and Smart-ICT platform to assist flood-based farming to enable rural people to overcome poverty and improve food productivity while reducing water consumption.
The project demonstrates for the last two flood seasons how satellite data can detect the extent and duration of flooding in various irrigation block and the authorities can make use of such information to know when and where the flood waters are reaching the farm fields and how many days it got inundated. We have also showcased how flood forecasting tools can help downstream authorities to make operational planning including maintenance of irrigation blocks and early warning for local communities.

2018 ASPRS: Big Data: Utilizing Landsat to Detect Ephemeral Water Sources in ...GIS in the Rockies
Since 1971, federal agencies have been tasked with managing burros in federally-designated herd management areas (HMAs). Because these areas are often large and remote, obtaining sufficient data on horse and burro populations and habitat preference can be difficult and expensive. In recent years, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) has partnered with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to study the population dynamics and habitat preferences of wild horse and burro populations on the Sinbad HMA in central Utah. Researchers at the USGS and BLM hypothesize that surface water is potentially an important factor in wild horse and burro habitat selection, thus these agencies are interested in determining how water availability affects species’ movement in both time and space. NASA DEVELOP leveraged NASA Earth observations and pre-existing water availability data to determine the spatial and temporal distribution of water on the landscape. Maps were developed to help researchers create habitat selection models for wild horses and burros on the Sinbad HMA and elsewhere.
Objectives:
Develop a replicable integrated model (methodology) for evaluating the extent and development potential of renewable (non-renewable) groundwater resources in arid lands, with the Eastern Desert of Egypt as a pilot site.
The model will be replicable for similar arid areas; North of Sudan, Tibesty, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia.

Hydrographic echo sounders are used to measure the depth to the seafloor by using the properties of acoustic waves. The principle of echo-sounders is basic - by measuring the two-way travel time between the acoustic waves transmitted on sea surface and those reflected at seafloor.
In this study, an integrated approach for hydrographic surveying is introduced and evaluated in terms of its efficiency in comparison with the traditional methods of hydrographic surveying. The approach develops an integrated environment of hydrographic surveying comprising human, hardware and software. The process of surveying starts from in-house planning using specialized geo-spatial softwares. Then, on site a combination of computer hardware, echosounder, differential global positioning system (DGPS), survey vessel and survey crew is made. Post-processing is performed after conducting a survey in order to improve quality of data by filtering errors and producing the end product like reservoir underwater terrain, development of reservoir stage-area and stage-storage relationships, etc. The study was applied to Tarbela Reservoir, Pakistan.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

2. GRACE:GRAVITY RECOVERY AND CLIMATE
EXPERIMENT
• GRACE is the first Earth Monitoring Mission in the History whose key
measurements are not derived from Electromagnetic Waves
• INSTEAD
• The mission uses Microwave Ranging System to accurately measure
changes in speed and distance between two identical spacecraft
flying in a Polar Orbit about 220 km apart at ~500km above the Earth.
3. The Global Water Cycle: What are the Main
Challenges!
What are some key issues that cannot be addressed without a next
generation gravity mission?
•Is the global water cycle accelerating?
•Land contributions to global mean sea level rise
•Global freshwater availability and sustainability
•Emergence of long-term trends
•Enhanced space-time resolution for better utilization in hydrological
applications
4. Obstacles to Using Satellite Gravity for
Applications
1) Product latency
• Near-real time information is vital for operational applications
2) Low spatial resolution
• Most practical applications require observations at scales of 0.01 –
2500 km
3) Lack of vertical information
• Groundwater, soil moisture, surface water, or snow
4) Low temporal resolution
• Most hydrological processes operate on hourly to weekly timescales
5. Potential Applications
• Water Resources Assessments
• Drought monitoring
• Ground water depletion
• Seasonal snow load
• Streamflow forecasting (based on upland water storage)
• Transboundary water resources sharing
• Weather and Climate Prediction -Via improved forecast model land surface state
initialization -Implications for Water Resources, Aviation Safety, Agriculture, and
Disaster Preparedness
• Solid Earth
• Ocean
• Ice sheet Dynamics
6. EXAMPLE-APPLICATION
GRACE is unique among Earth observing missions in its ability to monitor variations in all water stored on
land, down to the deepest aquifers

CSR GRACE RL05 mascons, J. Geophys. Res. Solid Earth, 121,
12. Potential Solutions
1) Product latency
• - Near-real time information is vital for operational applications
• Solutions: More rapid processing of raw data; Data assimilation
2) Low spatial resolution
• - Most practical applications require observations at scales of 0.01 – 2500 km
• Solutions: Lower altitude, drag-free, laser ranging (sans aliasing) mission; DA
3) Lack of vertical information
• - Groundwater, soil moisture, surface water, or snow
• Solutions: Combine with other observations (e.g., SMOS, SMAP); DA
4) Low temporal resolution
• Most hydrological processes operate on hourly to weekly timescales
• Solutions: Mascons; Constellation of satellites; DA
13. Conclusions
• GRACE is already proving to be valuable for practical applications including
drought monitoring, regional water resources assessments, and estimating
rates of groundwater depletion
• Obstacles to using satellite gravimetry for practical applications include
data latency, coarse spatial and temporal resolutions, and lack of vertical
structure
• Some of these obstacles may be overcome with a high performance follow-
on to GRACE; others will require more efficient and innovative processing
of level-1 data or data integration/assimilation
• An emerging obstacle is the lack of commitment to a follow-on mission,
such that water managers may be afraid to rely on GRACE
• GRACE-FO Expected in 2017
14. TAKE HOME MESSAGE
• GRACE data currently provide an accurate measurement of the
worldʼs water reservoir mass change with a spatial resolution longer
than 500 km (half-wavelength) and monthly sampling or finer
• GRACE twin-satellite sensor is a relatively new measurement – and
still requires substantial efforts to further refine data processing – is
anticipated to revolutionize the terrestrial hydrologic research and
applications
• Water is the lifeblood of Earth, and GRACE time series, for the
whole earth, for the continents, for river basins or for
watersheds, should emerge as one of several critical indicators
of regional health and sustainability
15. Surface Soil Moisture Observations
• GRACE mission provides groundwater assessment over the spatial
resolution of two degrees.
• Therefore, to understand the hydrological impact at medium to
higher spatial resolution surface soil moisture data, being variable at
land atmosphere boundary is of particular significance.
• Dr. Parag Narvekar (student of Prof. Pandey) has developed an radar
algorithm for NASA’s aircraft and satellite missions to provide near
real-time soil moisture product.
