Porous pavements with reservoir structure for infiltration of runoff from parking spaces and residential streets offer the opportunity to dispose water without using additional space in urban areas. However, pollutants in urban runoff endanger soils and groundwater, when pollutant retention in the structure is not sufficient. Porous pavement structures with four different subbase materials were...

Please cite this article in press as: Talei, A., et a Expert Systems with Applications (2010), doi:10.1 Intelligent computing tools based on fuzzy logic and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been successfully applied in various problems with superior performances. A new approach of combining these two powerful AI tools, known as neuro-fuzzy systems, has increasingly attracted scientists in ...

Makassar City is often experiences flood during rainy season and lack of water dry season. Therefore, Jenelata Dam planned to be built in South Sulawesi with a watershed area 221.22 km2. Every dam has dambreak potential due many factors such as earthquakes. Risk analysis carried out order study the most effective mitigation plan on minimizing risk index. Flood hydrograph modeling done using HEC...

In this paper, the relationship between rainfall and runoff is examined according to SCS-CN method based on DEM, soil land use maps over Ballikaya Watershed. For applicability of method, firstly, basin physical characteristics are compiled in Arc-GIS environment. Then, parameters related properties processed via HEC-GeoHMS, continuous rainfall-runoff simulations estimated by HEC-HMS. The simula...

  Application of gepraphic information system and image processing in evaluation of surface runoff of a watershed in recent years has increased greatly. In the study , the runoff curve number map was prepared using geographic information system (GIS)and Landsat Sattelite Images (ETM+)for two watersheds of Mansourabad in southern Khorasan province and Navroud in Gilan province based on the facto...
