“…The flow velocity was measured using the FP111 Global Water Flow Probe . The methods used to measure the flow velocity followed the 1967 Hydrological Norms and Recommendations, and the 1977 Hydrometric Manual for Hydrometry Services, by the Department of Water and Electricity (SANTOS et al, 2001) (Table 1). The bathymetry and flow velocity measurements performed in the river crosssection in each sub-watershed allowed to delimit each cross-section using the AutoCAD ® software and obtained the area of interest.…”

“…In conclusion, the analysis carried out in the present study integrated (1) the relationship among the in situ measured flow, (2) the rainfall over a 12-month period (May 2019 to April 2020) and (3) the attributes of the natural and anthropic environment of these two pairs of subwatersheds, in order to evaluate the relationship between environmental dynamics and the question of water availability, associating the surface runoff potential in these areas. The results will make it possible to present the diagnosis current situation, so that managers and decision-makers can act in strategic points of the Piracicaba River Basin (PRB), guaranteeing a sustainable use of water resources.…”

Use of water for several human needs, associated with climate change, indicates the need understand the response of watersheds, in order to provide adequate water resources planning and management. This study was carried out in two pairs of hydrographic watersheds, in the Piracicaba River Basin, southeast of Brazil, analyzing water response, integrating in-situ collected precipitation and flow data, natural environment attributes, and anthropic environmental data. To support the analysis, Surface Runoff Potential Charts (SRPC). The evaluation of the physical characteristics of the sub watersheds (SW(A) and SW(B)) shows that these areas present very low to low potential, indicating greater infiltration capacity. The use and coverage of the soil partially justifies the flow changes in pair 1, since SW(A) has a larger extent of agricultural areas that can use irrigation. SW(B), even with a greater variety of crops, has a smaller cultivated area and tends to demand less water. At pair 2, the low runoff potential is mainly due to the predominance of flat relief in the sub-basins. The soils that compose them present a higher fraction of silt and clay, with thicknesses > 5m in SW(C) and varying from 0.5m, reaching depths above 5m in SW(D), however, the physical properties of these soils do not provide a low flow rate, but associated with the low slope of the land, the geological characteristics and low drainage density are configured in regions where the flow flows more slowly, contributing to the evaporation and infiltration process. The use and coverage of the soil also partially justifies the flow oscillations, due to anthropic activities in SW(C) and SW(D), such as irrigation and spraying of citrus, fertirrigation of sugarcane, irrigation of seedling nurseries, directly interfering with the availability of surface water.

“…As the global population continues to grow, the competition for water resources intensifies, making sustainable runoff management a critical factor in conflict prevention and peacebuilding efforts [33]. In conclusion, runoff management for sustainable water supply is a multifaceted attempt that surpass geographical boundaries and disciplinary silos [34], [35]. It is a base for addressing global challenges related to water scarcity, flood mitigation, ecosystem conservation, pollution prevention, and climate adaptability [36].…”

The exacerbation of drought conditions has significantly enhanced water scarcity, notably impacting arid and semi-arid regions globally. Consequently, effective runoff management has emerged as a critical and formidable challenge. This comprehensive review addresses the critical challenge of runoff management for water resources sustainability, specifically through the lens of dam site selection employing MCA. A systematic investigation into the origins and methodologies of runoff management highlights the prevalent application of MCA models, with an in-depth literature review providing insights into various approaches, their advantages, limitations, and suitability for specific contexts. Through an extensive literature review, 63 criteria affecting dam site suitability were identified and analyzed, with slope, land use/land cover, and soil type identified as the most significant factors. The findings revealed an exponential increase in the application of MCA for dam site selection over the past two decades, emphasizing its growing importance in the field. Further, the review highlights the varied outcomes of dam site evaluations due to differing expert opinions on criteria weightings, pointing to the necessity for a unified approach to criteria weighting. It is recommended that future research focus on harmonizing these weights and incorporate high-resolution observational data to enhance the accuracy of dam site suitability assessments. Moreover, the integration of climate adaptability into runoff management models is suggested to ensure long-term water resource sustainability. This comprehensive review not only outlines the current state and challenges in runoff management and dam site selection but also proposes a direction for future research aimed at resolving these critical issues.

“…Among the various components of the hydrological cycle, groundwater is an essential reserve of freshwater, particularly in regions that do not have any other freshwater sources. As rainfall is the source of groundwater, an area's geological setting governs its existence and determines the stocks or reserves of groundwater in any region [1,2]. At a global scale, 71% of Earth's surface is covered with 326 million cubic miles of water [3].…”

Population increase has placed ever-increasing demands on the available groundwater (GW) resources, particularly for intensive agricultural activities. In India, groundwater is the backbone of agriculture and drinking purposes. In the present study, an assessment of groundwater reserves was carried out in the Udaipur district, Aravalli range, India. It was observed that the principal aquifer for the availability of groundwater in the studied area is quartzite, phyllite, gneisses, schist, and dolomitic marble, which occur in unconfined to semi-confined zones. Furthermore, all primary chemical ingredients were found within the permissible limit, including granum. We also found that the average annual rainfall days in a year in the study area was 30 from 1957 to 2020, and it has been found that there are chances to receive surplus rainfall once in every five deficit rainfall years. Using integrated remote sensing, GIS, and a field-based spatial modeling approach, it was found that the dynamic GW reserves of the area are 637.42 mcm/annum, and the total groundwater draft is 639.67 mcm/annum. The deficit GW reserves are 2.25 mcm/annum from an average rainfall of 627 mm, hence the stage of groundwater development is 100.67% and categorized as over-exploited. However, as per the relationship between reserves and rainfall events, surplus reserves are available when rainfall exceeds 700 mm. We conclude that enough static GW reserves are available in the studied area to sustain the requirements of the drought period. For the long-term sustainability of groundwater use, controlling groundwater abstraction by optimizing its use, managing it properly through techniques such as sprinkler and drip irrigation, and achieving more crop-per-drop schemes, will go a long way to conserving this essential reserve, and create maximum groundwater recharge structures.
