Watershed management is one of the promising approaches for management of water resources in and and semi-arid Indian ecosystems. The gap between demand and supply of water in these areas is growing with the population. ...
The flows of the world's rivers are increasingly being modified through impoundments, abstractions, return flows, inter-basin diversions, and flood control structures (Dyson et al., 2003; Postel and Richter, 2003). It is ...
The land _ use and land cover change (LULCC) plays an important role in global environmental change. Projections of future land use and land cover (LULC) patterns are needed to emulate the implications of human actions for ...
As a result of runoff from rainfall or snowmelt, soil particles on the surface of a watershed can be eroded and transported through the processes of sheet, rill, and gully erosion. Once eroded, sediment particles are ...
The December 2004 tsunami caused great devastation to a wide area, including agriculture land along the east and west coasts of the Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD)/Aceh province, Indonesia. Tsunami-damage agriculture land ...
The problem that now faced by farmers in Nusa Tenggara Timur Province in generally and especial in my region, Ngada District, is the lack of water for irrigation. The most of the water supply comes from rainfall. Rainfall ...
This study involves the design of lighting system by using energy efficient lighting technologies as a step towards reducing emission of greenhouse gases associated with energy production.
Since the invention of incandescent ...
Agriculture, like many other activities, can have positive and negative impacts on the environment and on water resources in particular, with consequences for human health as well as the environment. On the other hand, the ...
World's climate which had been observed over the past several decades is consistently associated with changes in a number of components of the hydrological cycle and hydrological systems such as: changing precipitation ...
In this study, Geographical Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS) and the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model are used for hydrological modeling of the Wonogiri catchment for simulation of runoff and ...
The most important reliability indices namely failure rate (X), repair rate (μ), MTTR, MTBF, MTTF are found through data collection and analysis. An evaluation of Markov model is used to obtain unit reliability and ...
Transmission lines at any voltage level are subject to faults. To expedite repairs and restoration of power, it is important to know the location of fault. With a view to achieve this objective a lot of methods have been ...
In the northern region of Bhutan, supra glacial ponds on some debris-covered glaciers in the 1950s have subsequently grown into moraine-dammed lakes. Also, pro-glacial lakes have expanded substantially as a result of retreat ...
River morphology is one of the most complex natural phenomena,, not only because the flow and flow patterns vary in temporal and spatial dimensions, but also because the coupling to the river valley and channel, in which ...
Runoff estimation is essential for planning and management of water resources projects. A number of models varying from the simplest empirical relations to the most complex physically based models have been suggested in ...
Rainfall-runoff modeling is an integral part of water resources planning and management. The Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number (SCS-CN) method is one of the most popular methods for computing the volume of surface ...
Flood forecasting models have been developed for many different large rivers. Traditionally they are based on regressions of downstream with upstream gages. Recently, more physically based models have been used which consist ...
Among the existing and projected impacts of climate change, impacts on water resources are expected to exacerbate the current and future threat of global water. scarcity. In the present study, water scarcity is examined ...
Knowledge of magnitude, as well as behavior of wind waves is essential in the entire planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance related activities carried out in the whole ocean area including harbour, coastal ...
Since a long time, it is known that hydraulic machines can work with an increased efficiency at partial load when the speed can be adapted to this partial load. In a standard configuration when the hydraulic machine is ...
