Abstract Rewilding is a radical approach to landscape conservation that has the potential help mitigate flood risk and low flow stresses, but this remains largely unexplored. Here, we illustrate nature of hydrological changes rewilding can be expected deliver through reducing or ceasing land management, natural vegetation regeneration, species (re)introductions, river networks. This includes ma...

Portfolio selection process is a subject focused by many researchers. Various criteria involved in this process have undergone alterations over time, necessitating the use of appropriate investment decision support tools. An optimization approach used in different sciences is using meta-heuristic algorithms. In the present study, using Water Cycle Algorithm (WCA), a model was introduced for sel...

Water cycle algorithm (WCA) is a new metaheuristic algorithm which the fundamental concepts of WCA are derived from nature and are based on the observation of water cycle process and how rivers and streams flow to sea in the real world. In this paper, the task of sizing optimization of truss structures including discrete and continues variables carried out using WCA, and the optimization result...

A change in the cycle of water from dry to wet regions of the globe would have far reaching impact on humanity. As air warms, its capacity to hold water increases at the Clausius-Clapeyron rate (CC, approximately 7% °C-1). Surface ocean salinity observations have suggested the water cycle has amplified at close to CC following recent global warming, a result that was found to be at odds with st...

This paper constitutes a review on the history and current state-of-the-art on studies of the hydrological cycle and estimates of the components of the water balance in the Amazon Basin. Since the 1970’s, various papers started to discuss the issues of water balance and moisture transport in the region, using simple models and meteorological data from reduced surface and upper air observational...
