amir kabir dam was built in varian strait, at 23 km north of karaj in 1961. the dam is multipurpose and its maim aims are the spring floods control, supplying potable water for tehran city, producing electricity and providing irrigation water. different pollutants which discharge to the river finally enter to the dam reservoir. determining the pollution loads of the dam sub-catchments can help ...

We collected two sediment cores and modern submerged aquatic plants and phytoplankton from two sub-basins of Lake Christina, a large shallow lake in west-central Minnesota, and used stable isotopic and elemental proxies from sedimentary organic matter to explore questions about the pre- and post-settlement ecology of the lake. The two morphologically distinct sub-basins vary in their sensitivit...

Phosphorus (P) enrichment has been observed in the historic oligotrophic Greater Everglades in Florida mainly due to P influx from upstream, agriculturally dominated, low relief drainage basins of the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA). Our specific objectives were to: (1) investigate relationships between various environmental factors and P loads in 10 farm basins within the EAA, (2) identify ...

Aim of study: Countries will be affected by climate change in different levels and ways. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on methods options specific regions. Basin approach, the sustainability basins their capacity exposed possible effects change, adapting resisting should addressed with an integrated approach. “Basin vulnerability analysis” are developed ensure ecosystems reveal adaptive c...

the efficiency of three statistical models, ahp surface-weighted density bivariate (semi-quantitative models), stepwise multivariate regression and logistic multivariate regression models were compared in chehel-chai watershed in golestan province, iran. in current study the hazard map was prepared according to the top model of landslide hazard map. chehel-chai watershed is located as one of go...

This aims to evaluate the morphometric parameters of Manhuaçu River watershed and their influence on erosive processes. The study was conducted upstream from city Manhuaçu, where characterization 23 sub-basins made using relief. were submitted Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicate most significant. hypsometric integral applied all analyze stage geological development. Among evaluated, the...

Groundwater is a major source of water in the western US. However, there are limited recharge estimates available in this region due to the complexity of recharge processes and the challenge of direct observations. Land surface Models (LSMs) could be a valuable tool for estimating current recharge and projecting changes due to future climate change. In this study, simulations of three LSMs (Noa...

A novel solution to the estimation of catchment rainfall at a sub-hourly resolution from measured streamflow is introduced and evaluated for two basins with markedly different flow pathways and rainfall regimes. It combines a continuous-time transfer function model with regularised derivative estimates obtained using a recursive method with capacity for handling missing data. The method has gen...
