You may view reports from previous Fellows for examples of activities on the fellowship website. Please describe how the technical and cultural exchange will be further extended after the Fellow returns to his/her home country, both within the Fellow s own organization and beyond. Please also indicate whether there is a capability of covering part of applicant s expenses (by host or host institution), since the fellowship typically does not cover all travel and lodging costs. Dr. Doe of ABC University and Dr. Doeson of XYZ University would co-host this fellow if approved. 1. Visit the Rio Grande Project The Rio Grande Project delivers surface water to Southern New Mexico and West Texas. The river s conveyance system, composed of several water conveyance features such as dams, canals and laterals among others, will offer the visiting scholar the possibility to see a holistic approach to the management of surface water resources under different legal frameworks derived from the fact that the system encompasses four states in two countries (Colorado, New Mexico and Texas, in the United States, and Chihuahua, in the Mexico). In addition, the Fellow will be exposed to ongoing research conducted by different educational institutions, federal and state agencies and bi-national teams, and will see firsthand the efforts undertaken by project s stakeholders oriented towards the improvement of surface water delivery efficiency, conjunctive use of surface and groundwater resources, and water conservation alternatives, and inland brackish groundwater desalination. In addition, the host will bring the fellow to visit the headwater and reservoirs of the Rio Grande during or after the conference because the conference city is conveniently located close to the headwater. 2. Exposure to a Culturally Diverse Region The Paso Del Norte Region along the US-Mexico border, originally explored by Spaniards, is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, and multifaceted area which offers visitors the opportunity to see the impact of the different cultures, present in the area, reflected in the food, the architecture, and the friendliness and welcoming attitude of the natives. The Fellow will experience the richness of the history of the area symbolized by the different Spanish missions along the Santa Fe Trail, of which the Ysleta Mission, within El Paso city limits, is the oldest mission in the North American territory. The scholar will have the opportunity to see how the mixing of the Spanish, Mexican, Native American, Anglo Saxon and Chinese cultures have made the El Paso Del Norte Region unique in the United States and the world. 3 of 8
4 3. Exposure to the geological features of the area The geological history of the El Paso del Norte Region ranges from 1.2 to 1.4 billion years. Scholar will have the opportunity to visit different geological features of the area including White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns. These three features will give the fellow the opportunity to appreciate the dynamism of the geology of the area, which in turn shaped the composition of the hydrological resources of the region. At White Sands, the scholar will have the opportunity to see one of the world's great natural wonders. The dunes of gypsum sand that have covered 275 square miles of desert have made White Sands the world's largest gypsum dune field. At Carlsbad Caverns the scholar will have the opportunity to see one of the most remarkable geologic features of the world located within a Permian age fossil reef composed of 83 separate caves, one of the world s largest underground chambers and countless formations. The host will be happy to provide local transportation at both locations: El Paso, Texas for culture exchange and collaboration, and Albuquerque during the conference. The host will also share local Mexican foods with the Fellow and may provide housing in El Paso as needed. Besides international fellowship, the remaining travel expenses will be c overed by the applicant s own resources. Following is a sample itinerary for the Fellow s visit. May 13-14: Leave Chinese City for Any City, USA; May 15: Arrive at Any City from China and meet with the host & visit the Ysleta Mission and historical museum in El Paso; May 16: Visit ABC University s agricultural research and extension center for scientific exchange, visit lab and meet scientists. The fellow will give a seminar presentation on his research program. May 17: Visit Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico May 18: Visit Department of Civil Engineering, XYZ University (co-host) and the White Sands national monument in New Mexico; May 19: Visit the Rio Grande Project, Texas, and New Mexico (U.S. Bureau of Reclamation); May 20: Visit the upper Rio Grande Basin, and drive up to Albuquerque, NM to attend the EWRI conference; May 21-24: The hosts and the Fellow attend the EWRI World Water and Environment Conference, and make presentations. May 24-25: Visit the headwater of the Rio Grande and reservoirs. May 26: Return to China. After the visit, the host and the Fellow are expecting to develop collaborative research proposals and conduct research related to hydrology in arid region and innovative technology for water conservations. We will also promote scientific exchange through conferences, seminars and workshops and bring more engineers together to address issues related to sustainable development of water and environmental resources. 4 of 8

6 PART V: TECHNICAL ABSTRACT Please paste your Congress abstract at the end of these instructions. **NOTE: You must also submit your abstract directly to the Congress by the posted abstract deadline Abstract No. 467 submitted successfully. Sustainability of Ancient Karez Systems in Arid Lands: A Case Study in Turpan Region of China Jian Do 1 1 XYZ Water Resources Research Institute Abstract: A karez (also called as qanat) is a gently sloping underground tunnel that conveys groundwater by means of gravity to the ground surface. It is a unique and ancient engineering methodology of providing water in a reliable and sustainable way in arid regions. One of the world largest karez water supply systems is located in the Turpan oasis, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. In this paper the authors evaluate the vitality of the ancient karez systems in various aspects in modern society by providing examples from Turpan region of China. These aspects include the historical and cultural importance, socio-economic impacts, interactions with the surrounding environment, contribution to agricultural biodiversity in arid lands, and the unique regional characteristics of karezes. The results show that the karez systems are not only economically feasible but also a sustainable water supply for irrigation and domestic uses in the region. Furthermore, karezes have invaluable historical, cultural, and social significance. However, karez systems are facing abandonment due to introduction of new technologies to meet soaring water demands. Karezes are particularly susceptible to impairment by groundwater withdrawals with modern wells and pumps. In such regions, the proper conservation and maintenance of karez systems will help sustainable water supplies and contribute to economic development. 6 of 8
