This report presents the findings of a study to assess changes to flows into, and downstream of, the Usangu Wetlands, located in the headwaters of the Great Ruaha River, Tanzania. Hydrological data, in conjunction with remote sensing techniques, were used to provide insights into changes that have occurred to the Eastern Wetland. Results indicate that, between 1958 and 2004, inflows to the wetland declined by about 70 percent in the dry season months (July to November) as a consequence of increased human withdrawals, primarily for irrigation.

The paper describes two techniques by which to establish 1-day (1d) flow duration curves at an ungauged site where only a simulated or calculated monthly flow time series is available. Both methods employ the straightforward relationships between daily and monthly flow characteristics. These relationships are first established on the basis of observed streamflow data and then used to convert synthetic monthly flow data into1d flow duration curves. The paper suggests the conversion equations and describes stepby- step calculation procedures which may be applied to generate 1d flow duration curves at quaternary catchment level of spatial resolution.

Net irrigated area in the Krishna river basin is varying quiet frequently due to water scarcity. Accurate area and extent of irrigated area in the Krishna River Basin is not available. State Irrigation Department projects large area under irrigation in the Krishna River Basin, which is attributed to its prestigious irrigation projects. However, the irrigation projects do not fulfill the demand in the basin consequently the tail Enders grow dry crops. Remote sensing replaces costly and tedious data collection on the ground, which is non-destructive. The aim of the present study is to prepare a comprehensive land use/land cover (LU/LC) map using continuous time-series data of multiple resolutions. A methodology is developed to map irrigated area categories using LANDSAT ETM+ along with coarse resolution time series imagery from AVHRR and MODIS, SRTM elevation, and other secondary data. Major stress was towards discrimination of ground-water irrigated area from surface-water irrigated area, determining of cropping patterns in irrigated area using MODIS NDVI time- series, and use of non-traditional methods of accuracy assessment using, ancillary datasets like SRTM-DEM, precipitation and state census statistics. A regression of the 9 class areas against agricultural census data explained 73% and 74% of the variance in groundwater and surface water irrigated area, respectively.

The study examines the possibility of simulating time series of stream flows for ungauged catchments based on hydrological similarity. As an example the mountainous, semiarid Karkheh river basin (50,764 km2) of Iran is presented. The frequently applied HBV model was applied to simulate daily stream flow with parameters transferred from gauged catchment counterparts. Hydrological similarity is defined based on three similarity measures: geographical area, spatial proximity and shape of the flow duration curve (FDC). FDCs for the ungauged catchments were predicted using logarithmic relationship derived from physiographic characteristics of eleven gauged catchments. The study shows that transferring HBV model parameters based on the FDC similarity criterion produces better runoff simulation compared to the similarity criteria based on catchment area and geographical proximity. The validation of the catchment similarity analysis using the FDC on monthly and daily flow simulation resulted in mean Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency, Reff, of 0.70 and 0.57, respectively. The study concludes that the methods of utilizing FDCs could be applied for estimating ungauged stream flows in the mountainous parts of the Karkheh river basin and source area of other major rivers in that region (e.g. Dez, Karun and Zayandeh Rud).

This paper describes a remote sensing based vegetation-phenology approach to accurately separate out and quantify groundwater irrigated areas from surface-water irrigated areas in the Krishna River basin (265 752 km2), India, using MODIS 250-m every 8-day near continuous time series for 2000–2001. Temporal variations in the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) pattern, depicting phenology, obtained for the irrigated classes enabled demarcation between: (a) irrigated surface-water double crop, (b) irrigated surface-water continuous crop, and (c) irrigated groundwater mixed crops. The NDVI patterns were found to be more consistent in areas irrigated with groundwater due to the continuity of water supply. Surface water availability, however, was dependent on canal water release that affected time of crop sowing and growth stages, which was in turn reflected in the NDVI pattern. Double-cropped (IDBL) and light irrigation (IL) have relatively late onset of greenness, because they use canal water from reservoirs that drain large catchments and take weeks to fill. Minor irrigation and groundwater-irrigated areas have early onset of greenness because they drain smaller catchments where aquifers and reservoirs fill more quickly. Vegetation phonologies of nine distinct classes consisting of irrigated, rainfed, and other land-use classes were derived using MODIS 250-m near continuous time-series data that were tested and verified using groundtruth data, Google Earth very high resolution (sub-metre to 4 m) imagery, and state-level census data. Fuzzy classification accuracies for most classes were around 80% with class mixing mainly between various irrigated classes. The areas estimated from MODIS were highly correlated with census data (R-squared value of 0.86).

The objective of this study is to present an approach to calibrate a semi-distributed hydrological model using observed streamflow data and actual evapotranspiration time series estimates based on remote sensing data. First, daily actual evapotranspiration is estimated using available MODIS satellite data, routinely collected meteorological data and applying the SEBS algorithm. Second, the semi-distributed hydrological model HBV is calibrated and validated using the estimated evapotranspiration and observed discharge. This is done for multiple sub-basins of the Karkheh River basin in Iran. The Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient (NS) is calculated for each sub-basin. Maximum and minimum NS values for the calibration using observed discharge are 0.81 and 0.23, respectively, and using estimated evapotranspiration 0.61 and 0.46, respectively. The comparison of model simulations with multiple observed variables increases the probability of selecting a parameter set that represents the actual hydrological situation of the basin. The new calibration approach can be useful for further applications especially in data sparse river basins.
