- Global Management Strategies for Water Cycle
- Forestry
- trees impact processes in water cycle
- eg. interception, infiltration
- REDD
- Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degredation
- trees impact processes in water cycle
- Drainage Basin Planning
- aims
- surface storage
- restoring wetlands
- run-off
- reduce artificial drainage in urban areas - permeable surfaces in urban areas - afforestation projects
- ground water storage
- limiting abstraction of water - limiting artificial recharge
- surface storage
- EUs directive framework
- 10 river basins identified in england and wales
- each district has its own river basement management plan
- set targets on groundwater levels, water quality + abstraction rates
- each district has its own river basement management plan
- 10 river basins identified in england and wales
- aims
- Water Allocations
- agriculture is biggest consumer (90% globally)
- waste of water through evaporation + over-irrigating crops
- better management
- better harvesting
- storage in reservoirs + ponds
- better harvesting
- improving management strategies
- minimising water loss from evaporation
- zero soil disturbance, mulching, drip irrigation
- minimising water loss from evaporation
- Forestry
