The accurate simulation of SWAT can assist the government in making correct decisions about water management practices, which are important for human health, agricultural management, industry development, environmental quality, flood risk assessment, and recreation. In this project, the PIs were trying to improve the simulation accuracy of the SWAT model through developing new algorithm to obta...

The relationship of lightning with rainfall and temperature is investigated on the basis of a four-year (2004– 2007) data set over the Pune region. It is found that the annual variations of stroke count and rainfall both are bimodal with the first peak value of rainfall showing a one month time lag from the first peak value of stroke count. This is attributed to the prime period of the onset ph...

This study explores the decomposition of predictive uncertainty in hydrological modeling into its contributing sources. This is pursued by developing data-based probability models describing uncertainties in rainfall and runoff data, and incorporating them into the Bayesian Total Error Analysis methodology (BATEA). A case study based on the Yzeron catchment (France) and the conceptual rainfall-...

[1] The stream power erosion law, which describes the erosion rate as a function of channel discharge and gradient, has often been used for modeling landscape evolution in regions dominated by fluvial processes. However, most previous studies utilizing the stream power erosion law simply use drainage area as a surrogate for channel discharge. Despite its convenience this simplification has impo...

rainfall-runoff relationship is very important in many fields of hydrology such as water supply and water resourcemanagement and there are many models in this field. among these models, the artificial neural network (ann) wasfound suitable for processing rainfall-runoff and opened various approaches in hydrological modeling. in addition,anns are quick and flexible approaches which provide very ...

Tourist receipts is a crucial determinant in Malaysian economic growth. However, environmental hazards due to climate change perceived as potential threats tourism. This paper aims understand the effect of on international tourist arrivals Malaysia. monthly data was analyzed using linear regression approach examine tourism-led Granger Causality Test employed test for directional cause analysis ...

Hail and thunderstorm statistics for the 1951-60 period obtained from 119 U.S. Weather Bureau stations in Illinois were conlbined n-ith crop-hail insurance data for this same period for performing a detailed climatological investigation of the frequencies of hail days and thunderstorm days in Illinois. In the crop-growing season thunderstorms occur on 1 out of every 2 days on the average and ha...
