Abstract:
... Attempts to establish a regional water convention covering shared water resources in the Arab world have been ongoing for more than a decade. During this time, a Draft Arab Water Convention has been proposed, and the content of this has been subject to a debate that did not gain much attention at the international level. This article seeks to examine this topic to determine whether such an instrum ...

Abstract:
... We summarize the key contributions to a special issue on water justice. We contend that there is no inevitable arc of history that bends towards justice. Water justice will only be achieved by the collective actions of individuals, institutions and communities working together with a commitment to common goals and the means to effect change. We urge all who ponder on the issues of water justice, a ...

Abstract:
... The time step of an explicit time integration scheme for solving time-dependent hyperbolic partial differential equations in a finite volume method (FVM) framework is restricted by the Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy (CFL) criterion. Conventional time stepping integrates all grid cells with the same time step. This causes unnecessary computational costs when wave speeds and/or grid spacing vary considerab ...

This transdisciplinary study draws on over 300 stories from such communities, showing overwhelming frustration with the municipality’s inability to address leaking pipes, faulty bills and poor sanitation. Cape Town’s intervent ...

Abstract:
... Drip irrigation combined with film mulching significantly improved water saving and agricultural efficiency in arid and semi-arid regions. However, the impact of various irrigation technical parameters under plastic film-mulched (PM) drip irrigation on water consumption and maize yield (Zea mays L.) for seed production is still unclear. Field experiments were conducted between 2016 and 2018 in Nor ...

Abstract:
... Continuous-time random walk (CTRW) models of non-Fickian solute transport are defined by a temporal pdf and three parameters: a velocity-like constant, a dispersion-like constant and a “time constant”. Presently, to identify a model, all are jointly calibrated against solute breakthrough data. We show that without loss of generality the time constant can be set to unity and velocity-like and dispe ...
