[ 1 ] - Kinematic runoff and erosion model efficiency assessment for hydrological simulation of semi-arid watersheds

Hydrologic modeling of semi-arid watersheds is imperative for the development of appropriate water and soil conservation plans. In the current study, the efficiency of Kinematic Runoff and Erosion model-version 2 (K2) model was used to evaluate water discharge and sediment load simulation of Bar watershed, located in the north-eastern part of Iran. The K2 model relies on the kinematic wave appr...

[ 2 ] - A GIS-based integrative approach for land use optimization in a semi-arid watershed

The proper use of natural resources can preserve these valuable assets. In line with the management of natural resources, land use optimization can be highly useful. The aim of the present study is to propose an appropriate integrative model for optimized allocation of lands for surface runoff and sediment load minimization and net income maximization in Bayg watershed, Iran. In this study, fiv...

[ 3 ] - مقایسه کارآیی شبکه‌های عصبی CANFIS، MLP و MLP بهینه ‌شده به روش ژنتیک در شبیه‌سازی رسوب معلق رودخانه (مطالعه موردی: حوزه آبخیز زشک- ابرده، شاندیز)

     In this study, the predictive performance of three Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), i.e. Co-Active NeuroFuzzy Inference System (CANFIS), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and MLP integrated with Genetic Algorithm (GA) in the Zoshk-Abardeh watershed were compared. In this study, three scenarios were considered and simulated in each model. In order to simulate the scenario S1 water flow were fe...

[ 4 ] - Prioritization of Landslide Effective Factors using Logistic Regression (Case Study: A part of KopeDagh-HezarMasjedZone)

Landslideeventin Iran, as a natural hazard, causes a lot of mortal and financial losses annually. Thus, the comprehensive researches are necessary to provide useful solution for preventing and reducing the damages caused by landslide events. Accordingly, the present study uses a logistic regression approach whit the aim of prioritizing the factors affecting the occurrence of landslides in a par...

[ 5 ] - Evaluation of Quantitative Impact of Watershed Management Projects on Underground water Level (Case Study: Jamab Project)

Performance and control are two important components in any executive activity and their purposes are to correct and improve the functions and reduce wasting resources for better productivity and adoption of appropriate techniques that ultimately lead to the development of programs. Therefore, the present study aimed to simulate underground water flow and investigate the effects of artificial ...

[ 6 ] - Trend analysis of discharge changes in the watershed of Nahrin Tabas Dam watershed using parametric and non-parametric methods

The trend of river discharge changes in arid and semi-arid regions is mostly decreasing and this trend can be influenced by climatic factors and rising temperatures in recent decades in these areas. This reduction in discharge could have a significant impact on the water storage of the Nahrin Dam and agriculture, industry and drinking water in Tabas City, which should be considered by experts. ...

[ 7 ] - Evaluating the effect of water harvesting methods on urban runoff (Case study: Birjand urban watershed)

New approaches to urban runoff management seek to reduce the volume and discharge of rainfall peaks as well as the amount of pollutants in urban areas to a level that is reminiscent of rainfall runoff in the decades before urban development. SWMM software is one of the best models to help in this field and it can be used to study the effects of using water harvesting methods on the volume of ru...

[ 8 ] - Investigation and classification of dams as traditional structures in water and soil protection and agriculture (Case study: Shahid Parsa Dam watershed)

Bandsar is a traditional and Intelligently method of exploiting floods in arid and semi-arid areas, which can be implemented in a wide area with the participation of watershed residents. This structure, in addition to controlling floods and feeding the aquifer, expands flood agriculture in the region, and by collecting sediments from floods, it leads to soil enrichment. To this end, in this res...

[ 9 ] - Role of rainwater harvesting for improving the human well-being and ecosystem services

 Ecosystem services are fundamental for human well-being and are the basis of rural livelihoods, particularly for poor people. Rainwater harvesting can serve as an opportunity to enhance ecosystem productivity, thereby improving livelihoods, human well-being, and economies. Rainwater harvesting has been shown to create synergies between landscape management and human well-being. These synergi...
