Dams that serve a dual purpose of water supply and flood mitigation operate to maintain a defined full supply level of water that balances the two conflicting requirements. To optimize the use of available storage space, the full supply level may be adjusted to reflect changing risks of future water shortages and future flood inflows based on known...

Understanding the characteristics and mechanism of slope deformation caused by slope excavation and water storage is very important in the stability analysis of slope engineering. Therefore, based on similarity theory, a physical model test of excavation and water storage was established, and the deformation characteristics of the slope (three-stag...

The Tana-Beles sub-basin, a strategic economic growth corridor in Ethiopia, relies on water storage to provide a suite of key services to agriculture, drinking water supply, energy, and ecosystems. While there are a range of storage options (e.g., from large dams to subsurface aquifers) that can be utilized to provide these services, a systematic s...

The Shashe catchment of the Limpopo Basin in Botswana and Zimbabwe is a dry place: the Shashe River flows for just a few days a year, and 10 recently built dams are usually the only visible signs of water. But in the complex world of water storage, not everything is visible.

This online NEXUS Gains session at Stockholm World Water Week 2023 drilled down into two practical aspects of how integrated water storage can be realized. First, how to measure and incorporate water volumes available in diverse storage types into one planning framework. Second, how to motivate institutional or behavioral changes required to realiz...

Drought is projected to occur more frequently and intensely in the coming decades, and the extent to which it will affect forest functioning will depend on species-specific responses to water stress. Aiming to understand the hydraulic traits and water dynamics behind water-saver and water-spender strategies in response to drought and recovery, we c...

In a world where climate change and water scarcity pose increasing challenges, finding innovative solutions to conserve and manage water resources is critical. To this end, the CGIAR Initiative on NEXUS Gains hosted a collaborative event from 27 to 29 June in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe to discuss integrated storage options in the Shashe catchment, a sub-ba...

The global water crisis is worsening. This was confirmed at the recently concluded United Nations 2023 Water Conference. Despite the need for action being highlighted nearly 50 years ago at the last major UN water conference in Mar del Plata, Argentina, several billion people continue to lack secure access to water; water shortages, but also floods...
