The role of tropical forests in supporting biodiversity and hydrological integrity: a synoptic overview / Douglas, Ellen M.
Conservation of high-biodiversity tropical forests is sometimes justified on the basis of assumed hydrological benefits - in particular, the reduction of flooding hazards for downstream floodplain populations. However, the "far-field" link between deforestation and distant flooding has been difficult to demonstrate empirically. This simulation stud [...]

Are Stable Agreements for sharing International River Waters now possible? / D. Marc Kilgour
June 1995 Proposed here is a new scheme for allocating international river water that accounts for the stochastic nature of water supply and the dynamic nature of its demand. The suggested scheme is expected to improve the efficiency of river basins' water allocation and the riparians' welfare. International river and lake basins constitute about 4 [...]

The forest-hydrology-poverty nexus in Central America : An heuristic analysis / Nelson, Andrew
A "forest-hydrology-poverty nexus" hypothesis asserts that deforestation in poor upland areas simultaneously threatens biodiversity and increases the incidence of flooding, sedimentation, and other damaging hydrological processes. The authors use rough heuristics to assess the applicability of this hypothesis to Central America. They do so by using [...]
