Estimating the Groundwater Recharge of the Chindwin and Irrawaddy Basin in Myanmar Using Remote Sensing Based Water Accounting (WA+)

Sustainable land and water management in Myanmar are desired since the country is rapidly changing. An analysis of the discharge data and an estimation on the groundwater recharge are desired to obtain this. In this paper, the discharge data of seven gauge stations in the Irrawaddy river are analyzed. Also, a method is described to estimate the...

Estimation of the precipitation recycling ratio

Some of the most cited analytical and numerical models that estimate the precipitation recycling ratio are used, and their results are compared. Also a simplified method that calculates the monthly recycling ratio from values of local evaporation is developed and tested for the U.S. Midwest.

Comparison and Validation of Several Open Access Remotely Sensed Rainfall Products for the Nile Basin

Researches about the water cycle are done very often and are very effective to improve the efficiency of the water usage for a basin. Especially in water scarce areas, this type of research are wanted. Water scarcity occurs when water supply cannot meet the water demand. More than half of the world will experience physical or economic water...
