abstract stochastic model for synthetic data generation is not available for daily flows of intermittent streams. such a model is required in the planning and operation of structures on an intermittent stream for purposes where short time flow fluctuations are important. in this study a model is developed for such a case. the model consists of four steps: determination of the days on which flow...

The “counter-trend” of oasification in China’s arid and semi-arid regions has attracted widespread attention against the backdrop rising global desertification risk, which endangers ecological safety food security. This paper selects pertinent literature from CNKI WoS core collection databases then uses bibliometric methods to comb current status, key contents, cutting-edge trends research. fol...

Climate change may significantly affect the hydrological cycle and water resource management, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. In this paper, output from the Providing Regional Climates for Impacts Studies (PRECIS) regional climate model were used in conjunction with the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to analyse the effects of climate change on streamflow of the Xiying and Zamu ...

arid and semi-arid lands cover around one-third of the world's terrestrial expanse and their widespread plantdistributions provide these areas with a high potential for sequestering carbon. vegetation management for developingshrub or tree species in arid and semi-arid regions is one inexpensive and multi-purpose approach for decreasing co2.this study assessed the potential of carbon sequestrat...
