The impacts of two factors on future regional-scale runoff were assessed: the external factor of climate change and the internal factor of a recently completed large-scale water resources project. A rainfall-runoff model was built (using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool, SWAT) for the Geum River, where three weirs were recently constructed along the main stream. RCP (Representative Concentrat...

There has been a growing interest in the potential of Google Earth for scientific inquiries, and our previous paper (Al-Abdulrazzak and Pauly, 2014. Managing fisheries from space: Google Earth improves estimates of distant fish catches. ICES Journal of Marine Science, 71: 450–454) on weirs and their catch in the Persian Gulf is a case in point. Garibaldi et al. (2014. Comment on: “Managing fish...

side weirs are flow diversion devices that are widely used in irrigation, drainage and urban sewage systems. the present study focuses on the investigation of the effect of oblique side weirs on the discharge coefficient of a side weir under subcritical flow condition in rectangular channels. in this study 106 laboratory tests were conducted and the results were analyzed to find out the influen...

The Gartcosh Industrial Site, North Lanarkshire is home to the largest known population of great crested newts (Triturus cristatus,) in Scotland. Economic development of the site required the translocation of the great crested newt and four other amphibian species from existing ponds to a purpose built reserve around the periphery. Monitoring the effectiveness of translocation as a mitigation m...

The fulfillment of irrigation water needs must take into consideration the available resources. This is undertaken to avert conflicts that may arise among users. allocation can be accomplished through an analysis balance, juxtaposing discharge with required discharge. outcomes balance serve as a reference for allocation. Within Kedunglarangan Watershed (DAS), there exist six weirs, current mana...
