one of the most important hydrological time series task is to determine if there is any trend in the data and how to achieve stationarity when there is nonstationarity behavior in data. detecting trend and stationarity in hydrological time series may help us to understand the possible links between hydrological processes and global climate changes. in this study yearly, monthly and daily stream...

human activities in the recent years have considerably increased the rate of water pollution in many regions of the world. in this case study, the main sources of wastewater discharging into the gargar river were identified. using river and point source flow rates and water quality parameters measured along the river, the river water quality was simulated using a commonly used, one-dimensional ...

The advanced monitoring of water quality and performing a real time hazard analysis prior to entering Water Treatment Works (WTW) is very much a necessity nowadays in order to give warning of any contamination and avoid downtime of the WTW. Ultrasonic flow sensors are considered to be the most stable and reliable sensors to be used within the water and wastewater industry, as they are not easil...

In a watershed, sediment arises due to the erosion and some factors such as pastures destruction,change users, no reasonable cultivation. That causes problems such as sedimentation in reservoirs andreduces their useful volume, reducing water quality in agricultural consumption; reduce the efficiencyof hydraulic structures and some other environmental problems. Changes in sediment load in a rive...

The proposed research intends to develop a methodology in GIS that enables one to accurately represent the geometry of river channels in two and three dimensions. Hydraulic data are used to run a finite element hydrodynamic model and the results of the hydrodynamic model and the biological data are used to predict the impact of flow alteration on fish species habitats in the river. Hydrodynamic...

In the majority of lumped water balance models of river basins, groundwater is represented by a single reservoir, and groundwater discharge is described by a singlevalued function of storage in the reservoir. It is demonstrated that single-valued storagedischarge functions are often incapable of representing the actual storage-discharge characteristics of a river basin. An alternative discharge...

As China’s economy booms, increasing water use has significantly affected hydro-geomorphic processes and thus the ecology of surface waters. A large variety of hydrological changes arising from human activities such as reservoir construction and management, water abstraction, water diversion and agricultural land expansion have been sustained throughout China. Using the global scale hydrologica...

Exploitation of the Alberta oil sands, the world's third-largest crude oil reserve, requires fresh water from the Athabasca River, an allocation of 4.4% of the mean annual flow. This allocation takes into account seasonal fluctuations but not long-term climatic variability and change. This paper examines the decadal-scale variability in river discharge in the Athabasca River Basin (ARB) with (i...

Great rivers were generally looked at as the geographical barrier to gene flow for many taxonomic groups. The Yangtze River is the third largest river in the world, and flows across South China and into the East China Sea. Up until now, few studies have been carried out to evaluate its effect as a geographical barrier. In this study, we attempted to determine the barrier effect of the Yangtze R...
