Large-scale hydrological models are important decision support tools in water resources management. The largest source of uncertainty in such models is the hydrostratigraphic model. Geometry and configuration of hydrogeological units are often poorly determined from hydrogeological data alone. Due to sparse sampling in space, lithological borehole logs may overlook structures that are important...

This study is a part of an on-going Danish research project HYACINTS. A key outcome of the project is a fully coupled model setup using the HIRHAM regional climate model and the MIKE SHE hydrological model with the intent of improving hydrological predictions. We here present results from the initial studies prior to the coupling performed to aid in the decision of optimal climate model domain ...

because of electricity subsidies, electricity price in iran is much lower than its real value, and the growth of electricity demand is much more than its rational rate, which in turn implies ever increasing investment in the electricity section by the government. therefore, the recent government policies are based on elimination of electricity subsidies, followed by commissioning complete elect...

background: nowadays the eutrophication of water bodies is enhanced due to discharge of effluents and runoffs. therefore, there is a demand for the management of natural and artificial lakes to prevent or postpone this problem. lakes eutrophication is a complex process. therefore computerized models are very important tools to describe this process. although there are several models for this, b...

Nowadays, electricity is one of the most significant infrastructures required for economic development of countries. Hence, predicting electricity demand is very important especially in industry as a major electricity-consuming sector. The majority of studies under the subject of electricity demand have been performed by econometrics and it is not possible to investigate the effect of different...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t The isotopic composition of precipitation (δ P) is one of the most widely used and informative terrestrial paleoclimate proxies. δ P integrates a series of hydrological processes; therefore, any interpretation of paleohydrology using δ P requires a thorough understanding and quantification of the full hydrological cycle. In this paper, we use modern data to...

This paper investigates whether remote sensing evapotranspiration estimates can be integrated by means of data assimilation into a distributed hydrological model for improving the predictions of spatial water distribution over a large river basin with an area of 317,800 km2. A series of available MODIS satellite images over the Haihe River basin in China are used for the year 2005. Evapotranspi...

Groundwater drought is a natural hazard that develops when groundwater systems are affected by climatical drought, when climatical drought occures, first groundwater recharge, later groundwater levels and groundwater discharge decrease. The origin of drought is a deficit in precipitation and that takes place in all the elements that comprise the hydrological cycle (flow in the rivers, soil mois...
