Caruachi Hydroelectric Project conforms together with Guri, Tocoma and, Macagua the Lower Caroni Hydroelectric Development. Second Stage of River Diversion at Caruachi included diverting the Caroni River through 18, 5.5 × 9m sluices in the spillway lower body that after being closed by gates permitted the reservoir filling. In order to define the precise timing for closure of the sluices and to...

Dynamics of a bloom-forming cyanobacteria (Microcystis aeruginosa ) in a eutrophic river /reservoir hybrid system were modelled using a genetic programming (GP) algorithm and multivariate linear regression (MLR). The lower Nakdong River has been influenced by cultural eutrophication since construction of an estuarine barrage in 1987. During 1994 /1998, the average concentrations of nutrients an...

The paper presents an application of a Stochastic Transfer Function (STF) approach and a State Dependent Parameter (SDP) transformation of model variables to the combined reservoir management and flow routing problem on the Upper Narew River, NE Poland. The management objective is to reach required flow conditions in the reaches of an ecologically valuable river. A 1-D distributed flow routing ...

Terrestrial runoff and sedimentation have been implicated in a variety of impacts on scleractinian corals. However, despite accumulating evidence, little work has been done to investigate their influence on coral disease development. This study examined the role that river runoff and the associated sedimentation could play in affecting the prevalence of the coral disease "white syndrome" in SW ...
