The soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) hydrological model has been used extensively by the scientific community to simulate varying hydro-climatic conditions geo-physical environment. This study SWAT characterize rainfall-runoff behaviour of a complex mountainous basin, Budhigandaki River Basin (BRB), in central Nepal. specific objectives this research were to: (i) assess applicability data ...

the tele-connection patterns are the major constituents of climate at global and regional scale(s). the karoon basin is of a vital stance in providing natural water supply and hydroelectric; this basin is facing major fluctuations in rainfall regime. identifying the effect of tele-connection on great karoon basin rainfall regime is the subject of this study. to accomplish this objective the sea...

in the present study, we reported the results of the monitoring and investigations of the ichthyofauna of the beshar river, one of the tributaries of the tigris−euphrates basin in kohkiluyeh and boyer-ahmad province, southwest of iran. the results showed that during a period from 2010 to 2011, a total of 13 fish species belonging to 4 families and 3 orders were recorded in the beshar river. the...

Although hypersaline environments pose challenges to life because of the low water content (water activity), many such habitats appear to support eukaryotic microbes. This contribution presents brief reviews of our current knowledge on eukaryotes of water-column haloclines and brines from Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basins (DHABs) of the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as shallow-water hypersaline m...

• Median total phosphorus concentrations for the period 1984-93 were less than 0.1 milligrams per liter at 65 of the 83 stations evaluated in the study unit. • Highest total phosphorus concentrations were in the Hiwassee River Basin (near 2.0 milligrams per liter) and at West Chickamauga Creek near Chattanooga (1.45 milligrams per liter). • Total phosphorus concentrations have not significantly...

formation of hydraulic jump is necessary for dissipation of the excess kinetic energy downstream of spillways and gates. hydraulic jump stilling basins of sudden expansion are one of the energy dissipater structures which are used where the available tail water depth is less than the required sequent depths. in the present study to further reduce the hydraulic jump sequent depths ratio, a rough...

Nevada Facts & Statistics • Nevada ranked 45th in the nation for per-capita higher education support in FY 2014. • Between 2010 and 2015, per-student higher education appropriations in Nevada decreased by 34.5 percent. In response, tuition and fees at all public higher education institutions increased between 36 and 46 percent during that span. • Recession-era budget cuts to the University of N...

(UMRB) is a major sub-basin of the entire Mississippi River, one of the largest and most diverse ecosystems in North America. The length of the Upper Mississippi River (UMR) is approximately 800 miles (1,287 km). The drainage area of the basin is approximately 189,189 square miles (489,980 km2) and contains about 15 percent of the drainage area of the entire Mississippi River Basin. The Basin i...
