climate change has various effects on the quantity of rainfall and warming also is lead to increases in frequency and intensity of droughts by accelerating earth drying up and consequently. it is effective on the curves of severity- duration- frequency of drought (sdf). the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of climate change on sdf curves in the future in qareh su basin located i...

one of the most appropriate approaches for flood forecasting is using peak discharge data of hydrometric stations in each region. however, lack of such stations or short duration of data in most parts of the country, make it necessary to use some alternative methods in order to estimate the flood discharge properly. one of these approaches is regional flood analysis method that in a region usin...

reliable estimates of river stream fl ow and fl ood zoning maps are needed for water resourcesmanagement such as fl ood mitigation, water supply, dam construction and irrigation. flood zoning needsaccurate data and is one of the non-structural fl ood management methods. this paper describes theapplication of hec-ras and gis model to determine fl oodplains maps for the part of sardabrud rivertha...

Downscaled and hydrologically modeled projections from an ensemble of 16 Global Climate Models suggest that flooding may become more intense on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the primary source for California’s managed water system. By the end of the 21st century, all 16 climate projections for the high greenhouse-gas emission SRES A2 scenario yield larger floods with return...

Development of rural areas in rivers margins and flood plains, without understanding and attention to the dynamical and hydrological conditions and upstream areas of the rivers will cause to increase flood risk and loss of life and financial. Flood zoning has many applications, in floodplain management. For management of the three major branches of the Halilrood River, Rabor, Roodar and Javaran...
