The variability of the river water thermal regime has important consequences on environment and aquatic habitat. In 25 independent identically distributed stations in Switzerland, local frequency analysis is used to quantify extreme temperatures. Probability distributions are fitted data estimate maximum temperatures corresponding different return periods. goodness fit statistical evaluated usi...

The present work focuses on results from the second phase of development of a forecast system for coastal circulation in the Mississippi Sound and surrounding embayments in the northeast Gulf of Mexico. The basis of the forecast system is the 3-D finite element model, ADCIRC, driven by tides, river inflow, and wind. Sensitivity of the forecast model to wind stress and offshore boundary forcing ...

in order to study the residues of phosphorous insecticides in mazandaran district of iran, ethion, azinphosmethyl, diazinon and malathion four most used pesticides were chosen and river water samples were collected in april to sept. 2000, throughout the mazandaran state. thin layer chromatography was used, since it was the best applicable method in area with reasonably high level of sensitivity...

two statistical downscaling models, the non-homogeneous hidden markov model (nhmm) and the statistical down–scaling model (sdsm) were used to generate future scenarios of both mean and extremes in the tarim river basin,which were based on nine combined scenarios including three general circulation models (gcms) (csiro30, echam5,and gfdl21) predictor sets and three special report on emission sce...

Bridges are one the most important and useful river structure and as a key of Communication ways are very significant. Local Scouring is one the most reason of Instability of bridges and finally its failure annually immense human and financial cost to the government imposes. So far, several studies on ways to control and reduce scouring around piers of the bridges has been done among them, the ...

In the Pacific Northwest, warming climate has resulted in a lengthened growing season, declining snowpack, and earlier timing of spring runoff. This study characterizes the impact of climate change in two basins in Idaho, the Spokane River and the Boise River Basins. We simulated the basin scale hydrology by coupling the downscaled precipitation and temperature outputs from a suite of global cl...

Local adaptation to heterogeneous environments generates population diversity within species, significantly increasing ecosystem stability and flows of ecosystem services. However, few studies have isolated the specific mechanisms that create and maintain this diversity. Here, we examined the relationship between water temperature in streams used for spawning and genetic diversity at a gene inv...

introduction the khoshk river is originated from golestan and ghalat highlands and flow in a northwest and southeast direction. after traversing a short distance it covers golestan and dukohak from the right and the ghasr ghomshe tributary from the left. then, in a direct cross from the middle of shiraz metro police, it will divide it into half in south and east and at the end it will pour into...
