Balancing watershed and local scale impacts of rain water harvesting in India—A review
TLDR
In this paper, the authors focus on the hydrological impacts of RWH for recharge at the local (individual structure) and watershed scale in rural areas, and propose some evaluation criteria to assess the local and watershed-scale impacts of watershed development.About:

Adaptation strategies for agricultural water management under climate change in Europe
Ana Iglesias,Luis Garrote +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the main risks across European regions and evaluate adaptation strategies by reviewing over 168 highly relevant publications that appeared in the last 15 years and characterising the effort and benefit of a number of agronomic and policy measures, aiming to develop concrete adaptation plans and responding to concrete regional challenges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-criteria analysis and GIS modeling for identifying prospective water harvesting and artificial recharge sites for sustainable water supply
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a methodology for evaluating rainwater harvesting potential and identifying suitable sites for RWH and artificial recharge structures using Geographic Information System (GIS)-based multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA).
Journal ArticleDOI
A Dynamic Framework for Water Security
TL;DR: This work first develops a set of indicators for water insecurity, then offers an approach to model these indicators as outcomes of coupled human-water systems to anticipate watershed trajectories under human impacts, predict water insecurity and inform appropriate action.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cumulative impacts of small reservoirs on hydrology: A review.
TL;DR: A review of the studies that address the cumulative impacts of small reservoirs on hydrology, focusing on the methodology and on the way in which these impacts are assessed, shows that similar densities of small reservoir can lead to different impacts on stream discharge in different regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Causes and implications of groundwater depletion in India: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the challenges and opportunities related to the measurements and modelling of groundwater, groundwater recharge, cropping systems and irrigation efficiency, and social and policy reforms for sustainable groundwater management in India.

Extracting relatively-fresh groundwater from aquifers underlain by salty groundwater
TL;DR: In this article, two numerical models, MODFLOW ( McDonald and Harbough, 1988 ) and MT3D ( Zheng, 1990 ) were used to model the interface movement in an unconfined aquifer in Punjab, Pakistan.

Groundwater quality in the Niva River basin, Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, India
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was made to assess the groundwater quality in relation to agricultural and domestic uses in a part of the Peninsular Archean granite and gneissic complex of India, where water samples were collected from the existing wells in the Niva River basin, Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, India and analyzed for major ions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of small scale sand dams in securing water supply under climate change in Ethiopia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employed a water balance model to perform a catchment scale assessment of upscaling local scale water storage in sand dams, and evaluated the impacts of increasing water storage is evaluated under current climate conditions and future climate change scenarios.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrologic response of a watershed to land use changes: A remote sensing and GIS approach
TL;DR: In this article, a case study for the Jasdan taluka (district) of Rajkot in Gujarat, India is presented, where watersheds are prioritized on the basis of runoff generated, expressed as yield, due to existing land use conditions; to suggest soil and water conservation measures; and evaluate the hydrologic response of these measures on runoff.

Partha Pratim Adhikary,Debashis Chakraborty,Naveen Kalra,C. B. Sachdev,Ashok K. Patra,Sanjeev Kumar,R.K. Tomar,Parvesh Chandna,Dhwani Raghav,Khushboo Agrawal,Mukesh Sehgal +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the possibilities of using these parameters to describe the hydraulic characteristics of the soils of India and developed non-linear regression equations to predict these coefficients using the percentages of sand and clay in soils.
