Factors affecting the variability of household water use in Melbourne,Australia
This study investigates the variability of household water use in Melbourne with the aim of improvingthe current understanding of factors affecting residential water use. This understanding is critical topredicting household ...
Forecasting daily reference evapotranspiration for Australia using numerical weather prediction outputs
Farmers and irrigation system operators make real-time irrigation decisions based on a range of
factors including crop water requirement and short-term weather forecasts of rainfall and air temperature.
Forecasts of reference ...
Comparison of hourly and daily reference crop evapotranspiration equations across seasons and climate zones in Australia
Estimates from the FAO Penman–Monteith (FAO-PM) and the standardized ASCE Penman–Monteith(ASCE-PM) hourly and daily reference evapotranspiration (ET0) equations were compared at daily scale,based on the hourly climate data ...
Water–energy–greenhouse gas nexus of urban water systems: Review of concepts, state-of-art and methods
Water supply and wastewater services incur a large amount of energy and GHG emissions. It is therefore
imperative to understand the link between water and energy as their availability and demand are
closely interrelated. ...
Genome-Wide Association Mapping for Seedling and Adult Plant Resistance to Stripe Rust in Synthetic Hexaploid Wheat
Use of genetic diversity from related wild and domesticated species has made a significant contribution to improving wheat productivity. Synthetic hexaploid wheats (SHWs) exhibit natural genetic variation for resistance ...
Economics of salt-induced land degradation and restoration
Food security concerns and the scarcity of new productive land have put productivity enhancement of degraded lands back
on the political agenda. In such a context, salt-affected lands are a valuable resource that cannot ...
An Overview of Hybrid Water Supply Systems in the Context of Urban Water Management: Challenges and Opportunities
This paper presents a critical review of the physical impacts of decentralized
water supply systems on existing centralized water infrastructures. This paper highlights
the combination of centralized and decentralized ...
