Comprehensive evaluation of farmland infrastructure plays a significant role in utilizing water resources fully and ensuring a high and stable yield of crops. This study was conducted in the Shiyang River Basin, the arid region of northâwest China. The evaluation hierarchy of farmland infrastructure, including objective, criterion, subâcriterion and attribute levels, was established. The weights of evaluation indices at different levels of the evaluation system were calculated using the analytic hierarchy process.
The PREDICTS database: a global database of how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human impacts
Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that support computation of a range of biodiversity indicators, is necessary to enable better understanding of historical declines and to project – and avert – future declines.
Comparison of interannual variability modes and trends of seasonal precipitation and streamflow in southern quebec (canada)
The interactions between precipitation, streamflow and groundwater are very complex. In cold temperate regions characterized by harsh winters, winter streamflow is mainly derived from aquifers that are recharged in the spring, during snowmelt, and in the fall, when evapotranspiration is subdued.
interactive water indicator assessment tool to support land use planning
This paper presents an interactive web‐based rapid assessment tool that generates key water related indicators to support decision making by stakeholders in land use planning. The tool is built on a consistent science based method that combines remote sensing with hydrological and socioeconomic analyses. It generates transparent, impartial, and verifiable information regarding the impact of land use changes on water productivity, water consumption, water availability, and employment.
Why are there so few cooperative agreements between farmers and water services in france? water policies and the problem of land use rights
One of the recurrent shortcomings of water policy in France is the control of diffuse agricultural pollution. Numerous lacunae and incoherencies in the French Rural, Public Health, and Environmental Codes have hindered the effective implementation of efficient protection measures. In this paper, we underline the extent to which these incoherencies have hampered the emergence of cooperative agreements (CAs) between farmers and drinking water service providers.
