1. River management involves satisfying societal preferences alongside environmental needs for a healthy river ecosystem. Environmental flows is a discipline that aims to define streamflow requirements that achieve desired social and ecological conditions in rivers. 2. The ecological limits of hydrologic alteration (ELOHA) framework takes a regional approach towards assessing relationships betw...

Recent geochemical and hydrological findings show that the water quality of the base flow of the Lower Jordan River, between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea, is dependent upon the ratio between surface water flow and groundwater discharge. Using water quality data, mass-balance calculations, and actual flow-rate measurements, possible management scenarios for the Lower Jordan River and thei...

We examined impacts of future climate scenarios on flow regimes and how predicted changes might affect river ecosystems. We examined two case studies: Cle Elum River, Washington, and Chattahoochee–Apalachicola River Basin, Georgia and Florida. These rivers had available downscaled global circulation model (GCM) data and allowed us to analyse the effects of future climate scenarios on rivers wit...

Successful river flow time series forecasting is a primary goal and an essential procedure required in the planning and water resources management. River flow data are important for engineers to design, build and operate various water projects and development. The monthly river flow data taken from Department of Irrigation and Drainage, Malaysia are used in this study. This study aims to develo...

The paper discusses the application of linear and symbolic regression to forecast and monitor river floods. Main tasks of the research are to find an analytical model of river flow and to forecast it. The challenges are a small set of flow measurements and a small number of input factors. Genetic programming is used in the task of symbolic regression. To train the model, historical data of the ...

awareness of the level of river flow and its fluctuations at different times is one of the significant factor to achieve sustainable development for water resource issues. therefore, the present study two hybrid models, wavelet- adaptive neural fuzzy interference system (wanfis) and wavelet- artificial neural network (wann) are used for flow prediction of gamasyab river (nahavand, hamedan, iran...

The goal of this paper is to introduce an adjoint approach for calculating stream depletion in a river that is hydraulically connected to an aquifer. This paper presents the coupled forward and adjoint equations of flow in an unconfined aquifer, a confined aquifer, and in a river. Flow in the river is assumed to follow Manning’s equation, and the river is assumed to have a wide, rectangular cro...
