  • Storing and Sharing Water in Sand Rivers: a Water Balance Modelling Approach
    Geophysical Research Abstracts, Vol. 11, EGU2009-13618, 2009 EGU General Assembly 2009 © Author(s) 2009 Storing and sharing water in sand rivers: a water balance modelling approach D. Love (1,2), P van der Zaag (3,4), S Uhlenbrook (3,4) (1) Waternet Zimbabwe, (2) ICRISAT Zimbabwe, (3) UNESCO-IHE, Netherland, (4) Delft University of Technology, Netherlands Sand rivers and sand dams offer an alternative to conventional surface water reservoirs for storage. The alluvial aquifers that make up the beds of sand rivers can store water with minimal evaporation (extinction depth is 0.9 m) and natural filtration. The alluvial aquifers of the Mzingwane Catchment are the most extensive of any tributaries in the Limpopo Basin. The lower Mzingwane aquifer, which is currently underutilised, is recharged by managed releases from Zhovhe Dam (capacity 133 Mm3). The volume of water released annually is only twice the size of evaporation losses from the dam; the latter representing nearly one third of the dam’s storage capacity. The Lower Mzingwane valley currently support commercial agro-businesses (1,750 ha irrigation) and four smallholder irrigation schemes (400 ha with provision for a further 1,200 ha). In order to support planning for optimising water use and storage over evaporation and to provide for more equitable water allocation, the spreadsheet-based balance model WAFLEX was used. It is a simple and userfriendly model, ideal for use by institutions such as the water management authorities in Zimbabwe which are challenged by capacity shortfalls and inadequate data. In this study, WAFLEX, which is normally used for accounting the surface water balance, is adapted to incorporate alluvial aquifers into the water balance, including recharge, baseflow and groundwater flows.

  • Development of Environmental Engineering
    www.Vidyarthiplus.com Environmental engineering-I UNIT-I PLANNING FOR WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM Introduction to Environmental Engineering What is Environmental Engineering? It is the application of scientific and engineering principles to the environmental issues and their solutions. Generally, it includes supply of water, disposal and recycling of wastes, drainage of communities, control of water, soil, atmospheric pollution and environmental impacts of different activities carried out on earth. The practice and application of engineering laws in compliance with the safety of environment and the code of ethics prescribed as standards. Some of those are as below Environmental engineering is the application of science and engineering principles to improve the natural environment (air, water, and/or land resources), to provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation and for other organisms, and to remediate polluted sites. It involves waste water management and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, radiation protection, industrial hygiene, environmental sustainability, and public health issues as well as a knowledge of environmental engineering law. It also includes studies on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects. Environmental engineers conduct hazardous-waste management studies to evaluate the significance of such hazards, advise on treatment and containment, and develop regulations to prevent mishaps. Environmental engineers also design municipal water supply and industrial wastewater treatment systems [1][2] as well as address local and worldwide environmental issues such as the effects of acid rain, global warming, ozone depletion, water pollution and air pollution from automobile exhausts and industrial sources.[3][4][5][6] At many universities, Environmental Engineering programs follow either the Department of Civil Engineering or The Department of Chemical Engineering at Engineering faculties.

Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. © Water Research Commission ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There is a need in modern water resources management, particularly in river basins that are said to be closing to use new approaches to reconcile the often contrasting requirements of diverse stakeholders, geo-politics and the environmental constraints of that basin. There is a particular need to focus attention to non-structural approaches, since the addition of traditional (infra-)structural approaches are often costly providing only small increments in water yield. The range of non-structural approaches varies enormously, but often integrate a variety of solutions from implementing alternative engineering approaches, new river modelling techniques, water conservation & water demand management to inclusive social interaction and formalised adaptation strategies.
