  1. 1. Hydro-climatic Risk Assessment and Communication for Smallholder Farmers in Maharashtra

    Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Elin Ekström; Jonna Halonen; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Risk assessment; risk communication; smallholder farmers; hydro-climatic risks; Indian Summer Monsoon; dry spells; decision support tool; Riskbedömning; riskkommunikation; småskaliga jordbrukare; hydroklimatiska risker; indiska sommarmonsunen; torrperioder; beslutsstödsverktyg;

    Sammanfattning : Smallholder farmers often have great entrepreneurial qualities that build on generations of experience. However, many farm management practices are poorly adapted to current climate change conditions. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Observed hydro-climatic trends and local perceptions of water availability: a mixed-methods study in Marsyandi river basin, Nepal

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Hanna Ekström; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; ETCCDI; climate indices; RHESSys; Himalaya; socio-hydrology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : In the central Himalayas, water dynamics are expected to change due to multiple factors like climate change, hydro power development and shifting land use practices. This thesis looks at possible changes in water dynamics in Marsyandi river basin, Nepal, as well as causes to those changes and how they are perceived locally. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Climate change impacts on water resources of the Ganges : Suitable adaptation options for agriculture in the Indian-Himalayan region

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Industriell ekologi

    Författare :Hedvig Winther; [2017]
    Nyckelord :Climate change; water flows; Indian-Himalayan region; Ganges; adaptation; hydro-climatic modelling; stakeholder participatory methods; Klimatförändringar; vattenflöden; Indiska Himalaya; Ganges; anpassning; hydroklimatisk modellering; intressentdeltagande metoder;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is affecting several environmental factors and together with socio-economic changes put high pressure on water resources. Climate change manifest itself through increasing temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns and intensities, with knock-on effects on hydrologically-relevant parameters such as water flows, evapotranspiration rates, glacial melt etcetera, all of which have already been observed in the recent past and are predicted to continue in the future.

  5. 4. Influence of soil moisture content and infiltration on ground temperature and active layer depth in a river terrace in Adventdalen, Svalbard

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Författare :Carina Schuh; [2015]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The active layer constitutes an important subsystem of permafrost environments. Thermal andhydrological processes in the active layer determine local phenomena such as erosion, hydrologicaland ecosystem changes, and can have implications for the global carbon-climate feedback.

  7. 5. Modelling Climatic and Hydrological Variability in Lake Babati, Northern Tanzania

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Författare :Marc Girons Lopez; [2011]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : A good understanding of the local and regional water cycle and how it is modified by landscape changes may help policymakers take the pertinent decisions in order to avoid adverse effects of future hydro–climatic changes. This knowledge is of particular interest in the most vulnerable areas of the world such as the African continent. LÄS MER
