Managing stage-discharge relations at hydrometric stations affected by seasonal aquatic vegetation is challenging. Their ratings vary continuously in time so that establishing the streamflow series difficult. To best of our knowledge, no rating curve model exists to deal with a vegetated channel control, only manual adjustment methods. address this issue, temporal accounting for transient chang...

The objective of this study was to investigate depth perception in astronauts during and after spaceflight by studying their sensitivity to reversible perspective figures in which two-dimensional images could elicit two possible depth representations. Other ambiguous figures that did not give rise to a perception of illusory depth were used as controls. Six astronauts and 14 subjects were teste...

one of the most appropriate approaches for flood forecasting is using peak discharge data of hydrometric stations in each region. however, lack of such stations or short duration of data in most parts of the country, make it necessary to use some alternative methods in order to estimate the flood discharge properly. one of these approaches is regional flood analysis method that in a region usin...

The main problem in the operation of irrigation systems is to ensure accuracy and reliability measuring hydrometric parameters managing water resources facilities. When operating with pumping stations, it becomes necessary measure a set technological parameters, which can be divided into following groups by type: hydraulic (flow rate, fluid pressure, flow channel), units, linear-angular (channe...

A methodology to estimate the discharge along rivers, even poorly gauged ones, taking advantage of water level measurements derived from satellite altimetry is proposed. The procedure is based on the application of the Rating Curve Model (RCM), a simple method allowing for the estimation of the flow conditions in a river section using only water levels recorded at that site and the discharges o...

Abstract The Indus Basin is referred to as a “water tower” which ensures water storage and supply sustain environmental human needs downstream by balanced combination of precipitation, snow, glaciers, surface water. Upper (UIB) combines the high mountain ranges Hindukush, Karakoram, Himalaya (HKH); this unique region largely controlled seasonal meltwater associated with snow glacier melt during...

This paper investigates the potential of using global reanalysis datasets as input for hydrological modelling in the data-scarce Sudano-Sahel region. To achieve this, we used two global atmospheric reanalyses (Climate Forecasting System Reanalysis and European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA-Interim) datasets and one global meteorological forcing dataset WATCH Forcing Data...

In this paper, I present additional information for policy-makers and researchers to consider in response to the view proposed by Potts et al that "the pill is mightier than the sword." I identify states with both high rates of terrorism and a youth bulge and discuss correlates of both these societal characteristics. The research examined supports the view that factors other than access to fami...
