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.

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.

An integrated approach for impact assessment of water harvesting techniques in dry areas: the case of oued Oum Zessar watershed (Tunisia).
Mohamed Ouessar,Mongi Sghaier,Naceur Mahdhi,F. Abdelli,J. de Graaff,H. Chaieb,H. Yahyaoui,Donald Gabriëls +7 more
TL;DR: The importance of interdisciplinary and integrated approaches was revealed through this detailed impact assessment and economic evaluation and further refinements are needed to better include all possible impacts that occur as a result of the installation of the water harvesting structures.

A Method for Evaluation of Artificial Recharge Through Percolation Tanks Using Environmental Chloride
TL;DR: In this paper, a method employing the mass balance of environmental chloride in the tank has been developed for evaluating the performance of man-made percolation tanks, and the results obtained using this method at one experimental site indicate that an average of 30-35% of impounded water is recharged through this structure situated in granitic gneissic terrain of a semiarid region of India.
