The paradigm of integrated water resources management requires coupled analysis of hydrology and water resources in a river basin. Population growth and uncertainties due to climate change make historic data not a reliable source of information for future planning of water resources, hence necessitating climate and landuse change impact studies. This work presents an integrated modeling approac...

In this paper, an improved Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is proposed for reservoir operation. Through a collection of cooperative agents called ants, the near-optimum solution to the reservoir operation can be e ectively achieved. To apply the proposed ACO algorithm, the problem is approached by considering a nite horizon with a time series of in ow, classifying the reservoir volume t...

This paper presents a novel framework comprising analytical, hydrological, and remote sensing techniques to separate the impacts of climate variation regional human activities on streamflow changes in Karkheh River basin (KRB) western Iran. To investigate type changes, recently developed DBEST algorithm was used provide better view underlying reasons. The Budyko method HBV model were decreasing...

the purpose of this study was to compare the dez river water quality in the dezful hydrometric station for human drinking water, industry and agriculture. this study by cross-sectional method used data from the period of 39 years. sampling was carried out on the basis of physical and chemical parameters were determined. the results with world health organization standards, charts schuler and ag...
