introduction the ardabil plain aquifer, with area about 900 km2, has high concentration amounts of nitrate in some parts. nowadays, nitrate pollution in groundwater due to the widespread application of fertilizers and increasing of drinking water demand, has encountered consumers with problem. the adverse health effects of high nitrate levels in drinking water have been well documented. in the ...

Model-based methodologies can assist in addressing the challenging problem of leakage detection and localization water distribution systems. However, this is not trivial due to inherent non-linearities parametric uncertainties. Most importantly, small number available sensor measurements compared system states, inverse for estimating leakages highly under-determined. In work, utilization a prio...

monthly discharge is one of the most important factors considered in designs and hydrological works. some watersheds are not equipped with needed hydrometric equipment. in such a case average monthly discharge could be estimated from regional monthly water balance models of representative watersheds. in this study, thornthwaite & mather (tm) model were used in the pishkouh watershed in arid...

Hysteresis in the saturation versus capillary pressure curves of neutrally wettable fibrous media was simulated with a random pore network model using a Voronoi diagram approach. The network was calibrated to fit experimental air-water capillary pressure data collected for carbon fibre paper commonly used as a gas diffusion layer in fuel cells. These materials exhibit unusually strong capillary...

We propose a new formulation of the probability distribution function of wind driven water surface slope with an alpha-stable distribution probability. The mathematical formulation of the probability distribution function is given under an integral formulation. Application to represent the probability of time slope data from laboratory experiments is carried out with satisfactory results. We co...
