The contribution of soi moisture storage to the water balances of upland forested and grassland catchments
Soil moisture was measured on the Plynlimon catchments, mid Wales, by neutron scattering using networks of access tubes, as a means of estimating the changes in catchment storage for inclusion in the water balance. Reduced networks were used from 1974 to 1982, following an early assessment of their contribution to the water balance from 1970 to 1973. This study assesses the contribution of soil...
متن کاملWater Quality Restoration Using Landscape Metrics Analysis: A Case Study in the Golestan Province of Iran
Abstract The results of an integrated study aimed at restoring water quality in a large watershed including seven catchments in north east Iran are presented in this paper. This case study demonstrates how landscape metrics reflect direct or surrogate causes of the land use practices that are the determinants of water quality parameters. Water quality factors included EC, pH, Cl-1, HCO3-1, SO4-...
متن کاملArtificial intelligence-based approaches for multi-station modelling of dissolve oxygen in river
ABSTRACT: In this study, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, and feed forward neural network as two artificial intelligence-based models along with conventional multiple linear regression model were used to predict the multi-station modelling of dissolve oxygen concentration at the downstream of Mathura City in India. The data used are dissolved oxygen, pH, biological oxygen demand and water...
متن کاملA hydrochemical modelling framework for combined assessment of spatial and temporal variability in stream chemistry: application to Plynlimon, Wales
Recent concern about the risk to biota from acidification in upland areas, due to air pollution and land-use change (such as the planting of coniferous forests), has generated a need to model catchment hydro-chemistry to assess environmental risk and define protection strategies. Previous approaches have tended to concentrate on quantifying either spatial variability at a regional scale or temp...
متن کاملLong-term changes in the water quality of rainfall, cloud water and stream water for moorland, forested and clear-felled catchments at Plynlimon, mid-Wales
Long term changes in the water quality of rainfall, cloud water and stream waters draining acidic and acid sensitive moorland and forested catchments at Plynlimon, mid-Wales, are examined for the period 1983 to 2001. Atmospheric inputs of chloride and sulphate are influenced by the relative inputs of clean maritime and polluted land based air masses. There is no systematic increase or decrease ...
