Climate change impact on groundwater recharge and suggested adaptation strategies for selected Asian cities

Currently, 54% of the world’s population lives in urban areas, and this figure is expected to increase to 66% by 2050. Major cities and municipalities in the region rely either wholly or partially on groundwater. Four Asian cities, namely Bangkok, Bandung, Ho Chi Minh City, and Lahore, are selected for the study as their groundwater...

Using a participatory-based toolkit to build resilience and adaptive capacity to climate change impacts in rural India: A new paradigm shift for rural communities in the Himalaya

The Himalaya-Tibetan Plateau, also known as the Water Tower of Asia, has the highest mountains and glaciers in the world. Meltwater from this huge reserve feeds some of Asia’s major river basins. Changing monsoon patterns, more extreme weather events and continued melting of glaciers have long-term implications for the region’s water, energy and food security....

Towards an integrated approach to urban resilience assessment

As climate change advances, more cities across the world are coming to realize the essential need for resilience-oriented planning. This article summarizes findings of a research project on developing tools and indicators for assessing urban resilience. A mixed-methods approach is taken to investigate various issues related to development and implementation of integrated resilience assessment tools....

Riverine carbon flux from the Red River system (Viet Nam and China): a modelling approach

The Red River (Vietnam and China) is a good example of a large Asian river basin, strongly impacted by climate change and human activities. Previous studies showed the increasing influences of human activities and climate on hydrology and suspended solids transfer of the Red River. In this study, using the Seneque/Rivershtrahler model, carbon transfer and...
