“…Based on aquifer characteristics, modeling methods are mainly classified as models based on the (i) unsaturated zone and (ii) saturated zone. Many studies describe unsaturated zone modeling very well [26,[52][53][54][55]. In saturated zone modeling, the numerical groundwater models are often recommended to use inverse modeling [56,57].…”

Groundwater recharge estimation is essential for sustainable water management and water supply schemes. In this paper, we review groundwater recharge estimation techniques and identify the appropriate methods by considering India’s hydrological and climatic conditions. Significant components of recharge, factors affecting groundwater recharge, aquifer systems of India, and historical groundwater recharge estimation practices are reviewed. Currently used recharge estimation methods are assessed based on case studies. The most popular estimation methods are studied and compared based on their application in various regions. It is observed that the accuracy of the recharge estimates is largely influenced by false assumptions, the possibility of erroneous measurements, a potential lack of reliable data, and a variety of problems associated with parameter estimation. The suitability of different methods for a region is found to depend on time and space considerations, the objective of the study, hydrogeological condition, and availability of data. In Indian conditions, it is suggested to use water table fluctuation and water balance methods for the recharge estimation, provided that accurate water level measurements are assured.

“…The WEAP model was used to simulate system performance. This model is used in many research works to simulate surface and groundwater systems (Zeinali, Azari, & Heidari, 2020a; Zeinali, Azari, & Heidari, 2020b; Goorani & Shabanlou, 2021). In general, in the WEAP model, the first series of data required for the model includes general parameters such as the base year, month of simulation start, planning period length, etc.…”

“…Embora os eventos de recarga (25 mm/ano) sejam suficientes para manter a água do lençol freático estável o uso de água subterrânea é apenas uma solução temporária e não sustentável a longo prazo, porque a quantidade estimada é de apenas 17,0 hm 3 /ano. A redução da cobertura florestal favorece o escoamento superficial em detrimento de infiltração e recarga dos aquiferos (Guzha et al,2018;Zeinali et al, 2020).…”

“…A região sul de Moçambique tem sofrido nas últimas décadas desequilíbrios entre a disponibilidade e necessidades (CONSULTEC e SALOMON, 2009). Isso leva a desafios no gerenciamento da demanda de água em regiões de rápido desenvolvimento devido à alta variabilidade espacial e temporal de recursos hídricos (Zeinali et al, 2020). As estratégias de gerenciamento de água do lado da demanda são mais acessíveis na mitigação de impactos de escassez, reduzindo as demandas anuais de água (Miraji et al, 2019).…”

A satisfação das necessidades hídricas humanas e ambientais é um tema que tem merecido atenção no âmbito da gestão e planejamento dos recursos hídricos no mundo. As incertezas sobre as possiblidades de atender as necessidades de água futuras na bacia do rio Inhanombe motivaram a realização deste trabalho. Este artigo tem como objetivo avaliar a capacidade de satisfação das necessidades de água, através da aplicação do WEAP (Water Evaluation And Planning System). Simularam-se três cenários: o cenário de referência que corresponde a exploração atual dos recursos hídricos; dois cenários de impacto: Médio e Alto crescimento que correspondem à expansão da área irrigada e do crescimento populacional entre 2019 e 2040. Os resultados obtidos demonstram a incapacidade do sistema de satisfazer as necessidades futuras nos cenários de Médio e Alto crescimento com níveis baixos de garantias mensais e muitas falhas no fornecimento. Water Allocation Assessment in the Inhanombe river basin, Mozambique A B S T R A C TMeeting human and environmental water needs is a topic that has deserved attention in the area of water resources management and planning in the world. Uncertainties about the possibilities of meeting future water needs in the Inhanombe river basin motivated this work. This article aims to evaluate the ability to meet water needs through the application of WEAP. Three scenarios were simulated: the reference scenario that corresponds to the current exploitation of water resources; two impact scenarios: Medium and High growth corresponding to the expansion of irrigated area and population growth between 2019 and 2040. The results show the system's inability to meet future needs in medium and high growth scenarios with low monthly guarantee levels and many supply failures.Keywords: Water demand, river basin, Inhanombe river, WEAP.
