This book focuses on and discusses the results of research done on
the risk assessment levels associated with relevant regional
variables in the Aral Basin (the research outcome of the EU-INCO
FP6 research project Jayhun: Interstate Water Resource Risk
Management: Towards a Sustainable Future for the Aral Basin). A
strategy for an improved management of the region's water resources
is developed The book provides current and reliable information on:
the rate of glacial retreat in the Amu Darya Basin and the
implications for future water resources in the region. the impact
and assessment of global changes on annual precipitation. the
establishment of rates of reservoir siltation by hydrographic
surveys, the analyses of wastage and effectiveness of water usage
in the large irrigation massifs Water resources models are used to
analyse existing and newly generated data and these are calibrated
with existing data and subsequently used for simulating various
possible future scenarios. The book provides a risk analysis for
water resources management in the Amu Darya Basin and identifies
sustainable options for improved management of the region's water
resources. Interstate water resource risk management: towards a
sustainable future for the Aral Basin is of particular interest to
water and technical engineers, research institutions, universities
and technical colleges, water authorities and water management
facilities
