  • Synoptic-Scale Control Over Modern Rainfall and Flood Patterns in the Levant Drylands with Implications for Past Climates
    JUNE 2018 ARMONETAL. 1077 Synoptic-Scale Control over Modern Rainfall and Flood Patterns in the Levant Drylands with Implications for Past Climates MOSHE ARMON Fredy and Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Givat Ram, Jerusalem, Israel ELAD DENTE Fredy and Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Givat Ram, and Geological Survey of Israel, Jerusalem, Israel JAMES A. SMITH Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey YEHOUDA ENZEL AND EFRAT MORIN Fredy and Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Givat Ram, Jerusalem, Israel (Manuscript received 23 January 2018, in final form 1 May 2018) ABSTRACT Rainfall in the Levant drylands is scarce but can potentially generate high-magnitude flash floods. Rainstorms are caused by distinct synoptic-scale circulation patterns: Mediterranean cyclone (MC), active Red Sea trough (ARST), and subtropical jet stream (STJ) disturbances, also termed tropical plumes (TPs). The unique spatiotemporal char- acteristics of rainstorms and floods for each circulation pattern were identified. Meteorological reanalyses, quantitative precipitation estimates from weather radars, hydrological data, and indicators of geomorphic changes from remote sensing imagery were used to characterize the chain of hydrometeorological processes leading to distinct flood patterns in the region. Significant differences in the hydrometeorology of these three flood-producing synoptic systems were identified: MC storms draw moisture from the Mediterranean and generate moderate rainfall in the northern part of the region. ARST and TP storms transfer large amounts of moisture from the south, which is converted to rainfall in the hyperarid southernmost parts of the Levant.

  • “Environmental Impacts on the Dead Sea, Sustainability Cost Estimates”
    “Environmental impacts on the Dead Sea, sustainability cost estimates” AUTHORS Majed Atwi Saab ARTICLE INFO Majed Atwi Saab (2010). Environmental impacts on the Dead Sea, sustainability cost estimates. Environmental Economics, 1(1) RELEASED ON Friday, 05 November 2010 JOURNAL "Environmental Economics" FOUNDER LLC “Consulting Publishing Company “Business Perspectives” NUMBER OF REFERENCES NUMBER OF FIGURES NUMBER OF TABLES 0 0 0 © The author(s) 2021. This publication is an open access article. businessperspectives.org Environmental Economics, Volume 1, Issue 1, 2010 Majed Atwi Saab (Spain) Environmental impacts on the Dead Sea, sustainability cost estimates Abstract The Dead Sea is a land-locked salt lake that’s below sea level. Over the last decade it has undergone a continuous drop in its water level of around one meter per year, shrinking by nearly 30 m since the beginning of the 20th century. The diversion of the Jordan River, the Dead Sea’s main freshwater feeder, and the use of artificial evaporation ponds by mineral extraction industries are the two main culprits of this dramatic decline. A number of different proposals have been made to resolve the inflow/outflow imbalance, but debate itself threatens the technical, economical and environ- mental viability of biblical salt water lake. One of these proposals includes a plan to re-diverting water from the Jordan River into the Dead Sea and to reduce the intensity of neighboring mineral extraction industries. We present an economic model to assess the costs of preserving the Dead Sea and stabilizing its water level and an estimate of the opportunity cost of environmental flows based on the economic value of irrigated agriculture and min- eral extraction industries.

  • Land and Water Politics in Uzbekistan
    TITLE: Land and Water Politics in Uzbekistan AUTHOR : Don Van Atta THE NATIONAL COUNCI L FOR SOVIET AND EAST EUROPEA N RESEARC H 1755 Massachusetts Avenue, N .W . Washington, D.C . 20036 COPYRIGHT This paper was not produced under Council contract. It has been volunteered to the Council by the author under a limited release of copyright to the Council and to th e United States Government for internal use and reproduction, but not for publication by either. Land and Water Politics in Uzbekistan Don Van Atta Draft - please do not quote or cite without permission Summary This is a trip report based on the author's participation in a conference supported by the U.S . Department of State in Tashkent as well as on field observations in the Fergan a Valley of Uzbekistan . Uzbekistan is still a highly protected cotton colony but its agriculture is facing th e same structural and organizational problems, and the same need to change, as agriculture i n the rest of the former Soviet Union . How long this kind of compromise can hold together is very much in doubt . iii Land and Water Politics i n Uzbekistan* Don Van Atta Draft - please do not quote or cite without permission For anyone familiar with the immense changes Russia has undergone since 1989, a visit to Uzbekistan creates the sensation of having fallen into a time warp . Such, at least , was this writer's feeling during a week-long stay for a conference on water management and agricultural development in post-Soviet Central Asia organized by the East-West Center with support from the US Department of State .

  • Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945
    Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 By Charles David Shaw A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor Professor Victoria E. Bonnell Summer 2015 Abstract Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 by Charles David Shaw Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair This dissertation addresses the impact of World War II on Uzbek society and contends that the war era should be seen as seen as equally transformative to the tumultuous 1920s and 1930s for Soviet Central Asia. It argues that via the processes of military service, labor mobilization, and the evacuation of Soviet elites and common citizens that Uzbeks joined the broader “Soviet people” or sovetskii narod and overcame the prejudices of being “formerly backward” in Marxist ideology. The dissertation argues that the army was a flexible institution that both catered to national cultural (including Islamic ritual) and linguistic difference but also offered avenues for assimilation to become Ivan-Uzbeks, part of a Russian-speaking, pan-Soviet community of victors. Yet as the war wound down the reemergence of tradition and violence against women made clear the limits of this integration. The dissertation contends that the war shaped the contours of Central Asian society that endured through 1991 and created the basis for thinking of the “Soviet people” as a nation in the 1950s and 1960s.

  • Integrated Water Resources Management and Modeling at Multiple Spatial Scales
    Integrated Water Management and Modeling at Multiple Spatial Scales By David Ezechiel Rosenberg B.S.E. (Cornell University) 1998 M.S. (University of California, Davis) 2003 M.S. (University of California, Davis) 2003 DISSERTATION Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Civil and Environmental Engineering in the OFFICE OF GRADUATE STUDIES of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS Approved: _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ Committee in Charge 2008 -i- David Ezechiel Rosenberg February, 2008 Civil and Environmental Engineering Integrated Water Management and Modeling at Multiple Spatial Scales Abstract Water shortages from intermittent public supplies are a major and expanding global problem. Yet individual users, utility managers, and government officials can improve access or cope with shortages in numerous ways. New supplies, more efficient use of existing resources, long-term investments to expand infrastructure and reduce leakage, and short-term measures to flexibly transfer, ration, or curtail some uses, represent several different approaches, timings, and spatial scales for management. Integrated systems analysis identifies management actions that minimize costs or maximize benefits across a variety of water shortage conditions. The systems analysis works as follows. First, identify a wide range of potential actions. Second, characterize each action by the financial costs, perceived costs, and effective water volume added or saved. Third, describe interdependencies when adopting multiple actions together. Fourth, list the shortage or water availability events and their likelihoods for which the system must adapt to deliver water. And fifth, use stochastic programming with recourse to identify the best mix of actions. Analytical error propagation, sensitivity analysis, Monte-Carlo simulations, robust and grey-number optimization explore implications of uncertainties on recommended actions.
