The future planning, management and prediction of water demand and usage should be preceded by long-term variation analysis for related parameters in order to enhance the process of developing new scenarios whether for surface-water or ground-water resources. This paper aims to provide an appropriate methodology for long-term prediction for the water flow and water level parameters of the Shann...

a 3-km reach of the luján river was studied by establishing 6 sampling stations, which were from 300 to 500 m apart. the first station was the control reading for river nutrients and particulate material. the second station measured the continuous effluent from a wastewater treatment plant flow of the city of luján and was, therefore, considered a continuous addition point of nutrients. the oth...

In 1820, the lower Canadian River meandered through a densely forested floodplain. By 1898, most of the floodplain had been cleared for agriculture and changes in channel geometry and specific stream power followed, particularly channel widening and straightening with a lower potential specific stream power. In 1964, a large upstream hydropower damwas constructed, which changed the flow regime ...

The flow field, velocity and pressure coefficient distribution of some 2-D ideal flows are presented. Conformal mapping is used to simulate two-dimensional ideal flow for a variety of complex internal and external configurations, based on the numerical integration of Schwarz-Christoffel transformation. The advantages of this method are simplicity and high accuracy. The method presented in this ...

Over the last few decades, a suite of numerical models has been developed for studying river history and evolution that is almost as diverse as the subject of river history itself. A distinction can be made between landscape evolution models (LEMs), alluvial architecture models, meander models, cellular models and computational fluid dynamics models. Although these models share some similaritie...

The paper presents the state-of-the-art in flood forecasting and simulation applied to a river flood analysis and risk prediction. Different water flow forecasting and river simulation models are analysed. An advanced river flood forecasting and modelling approach developed within the ongoing project INFROM is described. It provides an integrated procedure for river flow forecasting and simulat...

[1] The loads regression estimator (LRE) was introduced by Wang et al. (2011) as an improved approach for quantifying the export of loads and the corresponding uncertainty from river systems, where data are limited. We extend this methodology and show how LRE can be used to analyze a 24 year record of total suspended sediment concentrations for the Burdekin River. For large catchments with high...

In large rivers, complex sediment dynamics cause rapid changes in the position and shape of bed deposits. Regular monitoring of changes in river bed geometry is essential for assessing the nature of morphological change and associated bed load during low, high, and medium flow conditions. We demonstrate the application of Direct Sampling (DS) for patching partial river morphological surveys to ...

The area of the Dansuie River watershed located in the northern Taiwan is 2,726 km. The main stream runs 159km through the Taipei metropolitan areas as the political, economic, and cultural centers of Taiwan. Owing to short and steep runoff path-lines and non-uniform rainfall patterns, large floods arrive rapidly in the middle-to-downstream reaches of the watershed, causing serious damage. In o...
