This paper describes an approach for the identification of flood-susceptible areas contributing to sustainability these in Giofiros river basin covering area 184 km2, located Southern Greece. is prone flooding with devastating consequences on people, environment, and economy. In this context, a geographic information system (GIS)–based multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method potential fl...

Hydrological modeling is a widely used approach for estimating the hydrological response of basin to precipitation. Floods are among most catastrophic natural disasters in small urban watersheds, inflicting loss life, massive property destruction, and severe danger economy. As result, appropriate can be useful tool preventing mitigating such flood hazards. Despite this, flash prediction remains...

In this paper we describe our experience in modeling and using sensor knowledge of a national hydrologic information system in Spain. We developed a web application called VSAIH supported by a knowledge-based system to analyze sensor data and to generate explanations that help users to make decisions based on hydrologic behavior. In the paper, we describe the characteristics of the infrastructu...

Sustainable groundwater production from karst aquifers is primarily dictated by its recharge rate. Therefore, it is essential to accurately quantify annual groundwater recharge in order to limit overexploitation and to evaluate artificial methods for groundwater enrichment. Infiltration during erratic flood events in karst basins may substantially contribute to aquifer recharge. However, the co...

While prior research reported altered fuel utilization stemming from pre-exercise modified starch ingestion, the practical value of this starch for endurance athletes who consume carbohydrates both before and during exercise is yet to be examined. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of ingesting a hydrothermally-modified starch supplement (HMS) before and during cycling on pe...

Developments in Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS) have been reported in three main areas: architectures, algorithms, and methodologies for HMS. Despite the advancements obtained in the first two areas the methodologies for HMS have not received great attention. To date, many of the developments in HMS have been conducted in an almost “empirical way”, without design methodology. There is a def...

River flow assessments and ecologically sustainable water management plans are now possible due to the advancement of sophisticated computer models. The US Army Corps Engineers developed HEC-HMS model, which can be used for various hydrological simulations. Rainfall-runoff modeling aids in estimating peak flows, is critical resource planning. On December 18, 2017, a heavy rainfall event ungauge...
