Modelling of some soil physical quality indicators using hybrid algorithm principal component analysis - artificial neural network

One of the important issues in the analysis of soils is to evaluate their features. In estimation of the hardly available properties, it seems the using of Data mining is appropriate. Therefore, the modelling of some soil quality indicators, using some of the early features of soil which have been proved by some researchers, have been considered. For this purpose, 140 disturbed and 140 undistur...

Assessing surface water resources of the South- western and Coastal basin systems of Ghana

Discharge data available for assessing surface water resources in the country are limited. A regional method is derived for assessing surface water resources with the limited data sets for two basin systems in the country. The regression equations derived have a better fit in the more humid part of the country than the less humid part. The results of the assessment are presented for water resou...

Special issue: Barriers to Sustainable Management of Water Quantity and Quality Biophysical demand and sustainable water resources management: an Australian perspective

To develop a sustainable management system of any water resource, it is essential that a balance between the demand of the natural biophysical system and the need of the socio-economic development is achieved. The main challenge that water managers grapple with is how to reconcile the long-term environmental objectives with the short-term political, social and economic needs. Since the biophysi...

Remote sensing applications in hydrological modelling

Previous studies have suggested that remotely sensed data should provide major benefits to hydrology and water resources and yet there are few case studies that show practical benefits. One of the reasons for this is the lack of tools to convert remotely sensed data to the type of information useful to water resource systems operators. Hydrological models can play an important role in this tran...
