SUMMARY:IWRA Webinar on Sustainability of Engineered Rivers in Arid Lands: Challenge and Response
DESCRIPTION:Invitation – New IWRA Webinar onSustainability of Engineered Rivers in Arid Lands: Challenge and ResponseWednesday\, September 23rd 2020From 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm CET \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to register for free! \n\n\n\nIWRA’s next webinar will introduce participants to major river systems that typically originate in mountains and flow through arid or semi-arid climates downstream.    For millennia\, spring floods have deposited fertile soil here\, which together with diversions from the rivers’ flows have enabled extensive irrigated agriculture.  These downstream areas form the backbone of regional economies and world food production. Engineering works in these river systems\, notably reservoirs built over the last 120 years\, have increased year-round water supply for food production and for growing cities. Yet today\, climate change\, reservoir sedimentation\, depletion of groundwater and reduced environmental flows challenge the sustainability of these river systems. This webinar addresses the above concerns and looks at possible responses. \n\n\n\nThe theme of this webinar was that of a multiyear project\, Sustainability of Engineered Rivers in Arid Lands (SERIDAS)\, introduced in Water International by Aysegül Kibaroglu\, Jurgen Schmandt and George Ward in the article entitled “Engineered Rivers in Arid Lands: Searching for Sustainability in Theory and Practice” (42.3\, 241-253).  The full results of the project will appear shortly in a book published by Cambridge University Press. \n\n\n\nParticipation is free and open to all.  Audience questions are encouraged. \n\n\n\nTopics \n\n\n\n\nEngineered Rivers in Arid Regions: Challenge and Response\nThe Global Climate Change and Engineered Rivers\nThe Depletion of Groundwater and Preserving Environmental Flows\nTensions and Dynamics in the Nile River Basin\nChallenges and Responses in the Murray-Darling Basin\n\n\n\n\nModerator: James E. Nickum\, Editor-in-Chief\, Water International \n\n\n\nDistinguished Panellists \n\n\n\n\nDaniel Connell\, Professor\, Australia National University\nStephanie Glenn\, Program Director\, Hydrology and Watersheds\, Houston Advanced Research Center\nMuhammad Khalifa\, Research Associate\, TH Köln – University of Applied Sciences\nAysegül Kibaroglu\, Chair\, Dept. of Political Science and International Relations\, MEF University\nGerald R. North\, University Distinguished Professor\, Emeritus\, Atmospheric Sciences\, Texas A&M\nLars Ribbe\, Professor\, TH Köln – University of Applied Sciences\nJurgen Schmandt\, Professor Emeritus\, University of Texas\n\n\n\n\nPresented by: Scott McKenzie\, PhD Candidate\, University of British Columbia \n\n\n\nClick here to register for free! \nIWRA Webinars constitute an additional resource designed to help our members\, academics\, dedicated practitioners\, and policy professionals further explore these and other timely themes engaging in fruitful discussions\, also aligned with the international water agenda and in close collaboration with key partners.
