Hai Tide: Tapping Green Water in Northern China
(2008) Bastiaanssen, W.G.M.; Bingfang, Wu; Olson, Douglas C.; Liping, Jiang
"The Hai Basin in China is currently experiencing serious physical water shortages and pollution. Ninety percent of the surface water resources are used; most branches of the river do not reach the sea. The availability of water resources is only 285 m3 per head, while groundwater abstraction, pumped at 26 billion m3/year , exceeds recharge by 7.2 billion m3 /yr. Beyond that, surface water is overused by 2.4 billion m3/yr. This overexploitation, totalling 9.6 billion m3/yr, has resulted in serious environmental degradation."
Performance Evaluation of the Bhakra Irrigation System, India, Using Remote Sensing and GIs Techniques
(1999) Sakthivadivel, R.; Thiruvengadachari, S.; Amarasinghe, Upali A.; Bastiaanssen, W.G.M.; Molden, David
"Describes the use of satellite remote sensing and GIs techniques to analyze the agricultural performance and sustainability of the Bhakra Irrigation System in India. Demonstrates the cost-effectiveness of these techniques as diagnostic tools for irrigation system improvement and the advantages of using SRS and GIs in combination."
Remote Sensing and Hydrologic Models for Performance Assessment in Sirsa Irrigation Circle, India
(1999) Bastiaanssen, W.G.M.; Molden, David; Thiruvengadachari, S.; Smit, A. A. M. F. R.; Mutuwatte, Lal; Jayasinghe, Gayathri
"Describes the results of an irrigation performance evaluation using remote sensing techniques, GIS procedures, and hydrologic modeling at a regional scale. Demonstrates how advanced information technologies support the analysis of irrigation performance by facilitating an in-depth study of a large irrigated area."
