The present paper reports the implementation of a neural network technique to predict ground settlement as occasioned by dewatering activities of a long-term large-scale drainage project. The objective of the project is to lower and maintain the level of the ground water table in urban areas through a system of a non-stop pumping wells whose layout and operation rate are determined and implemen...

Several methodologies published in the literature can be used to construct realistic pore networks for simple rocks, whereas in complex pore geometry formations, as formed in tight reservoirs, such a construction still remains a challenge. A basic understanding of pore structure and topology is essential to overcome the challenges associated with the pore scale modeling of tight porous media. A...

[1] Recession flows in a basin are controlled by the temporal evolution of its active drainage network (ADN). The geomorphological recession flow model (GRFM) assumes that both the rate of flow generation per unit ADN length (q) and the speed at which ADN heads move downstream (c) remain constant during a recession event. Thereby, it connects the power law exponent of –dQ/dt versus Q (discharge...

Recent developments in urban drainage modelling allow for a more realistic coupling of the two-dimensional (2D) surface and one-dimensional (1D) sub-surface drainage domain exchanging water through storm drain inlets instead of a sub-catchment approach based on manholes. Experience has shown, however, that comprehensive records of storm drain inlet locations are often missing or incomplete, pre...

Essential to understanding the overall structure of river networks is a knowledge of their detailed architecture. Here we explore the presence of randomness in river network structure and the details of its consequences. We first show that an averaged view of network architecture is provided by a proposed self-similarity statement about the scaling of drainage density, a local measure of stream...

irrigation management transfer to farmers is one of the important and necessary issues for irrigation planners globally. irrigation management transfer or participatory irrigation management by water users’ associations (wua) is a widespread strategy in the world and a good way to remove the country's irrigation and drainage systems problems. the main objective of this research was respons...

geomorphic indexes are useful tools in identification of evaluation in trace of tectonic activity (relatively rapid or even slow). since the drainage network morphology and behavior changes resulting from tectonic activity are very sensitive it seems to be evidence such as crossing the fault line and changes river bed affected by the neotectonic activities in basin. thus, for understanding and ...
