MRD 32.1 (February 2012) focuses on water resources in the Upper Indus Basin and beyond. It complements the August 2011 issue (MRD 31.3), which featured 3 articles focusing on the Indus Basin and (transboundary) water management; in this new issue of MRD, 3 additional papers discuss the linkages between climate, precipitation, glaciology, and river runoff in the Upper Indus Basin, and offer...

A system approach, daily precipitation-streamflow model was developed for both the base and the surface flow components, of large-scale karst basins. Long-term streamflow data were separated to baseflow and surface flow using the ‘‘recursive digital filter’’ method, which provides time series for model calibration. The HYdrological Model for Karst Environment (HYMKE) includes attributes to large-...

Higher summer and winter temperatures, declining mountain snowpack, reduced snowfall, long, dry summers, sudden heavy rains - the residents of the Columbia River Basin in Canada are experiencing different weather conditions than in the past. They are also seeing changes in natural systems including melting glaciers, lower summer streamflows, more frequent wildfires, and outbreaks of forest...

Process to measure and interpret physical and chemical characteristics that regulate soil behaviour in relation to water, nutrient storage and infiltration: Case of the Fuquene Lake.

The Fúquene river basin is located in the central part of Colombia near the city of Bogotá and has an area of 187,000 hectares. This watershed was selected because the lake is suffering...

Mountains as "Water Towers" play an important role for the surrounding lowlands. This is particularly true of the world's semi-arid and arid zones, where the contributions of mountains to total discharge are 50 - 90%. Taking into account the increasing water scarcity in these regions, especially for irrigation and food production, then today's state of knowledge in mountain hydrology...
