Better understanding of suspended sediment transport processes allows for better management of both rivers and coasts. Based on field data and sediment transport energy theory, this study presents an analysis on the suspended sediment hysteresis in the Lower Tenryu River of Japan in connection to the channel carrying capacity of suspended sediment and morphological characteristics. The transpor...

During recent years, increasing exploitation of groundwater aquifers has caused a substantial and sharp drop in groundwater table in the plains of Iran. Artificial discharge of aquifer using flood spreading in plains is an approach that has been implemented in many parts of the country so far. In this method, by flowing flood into the aquifer, will control flooding and soil conservation. In add...

Flood monitoring was conducted using multi-sensor data from space-borne optical, and microwave sensors; with cross-validation by ground-based rain gauges and streamflow stations along the Indus River; Pakistan. First; the optical imagery from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) was processed to delineate the extent of the 2010 flood along Indus River; Pakistan. Moreover; t...

Reliable estimation of discharge in a river is the crucial component of efficient flood management and surface water planning. Hydrologists use historical data to establish a relationship between water level and discharge, which is known as a rating curve. Once a relationship is established it can be used for predicting discharge from future measurements of water level only. Successful applicat...
