Rainfall- runoff modeling and river discharge forecasting are an important step toward flood management and control, design of hydraulic structures in basins and drought management. The purpose of this study was simulating the daily flows in the Navrud watershed using WetSpa model. WetSpa is a hydrological- physical model that can predict flood on the watershed scale with different time steps. ...

Abstract Forecasting of crude oil price plays a crucial role in optimization of production, marketing and market strategies. Furthermore, it plays a significant role in government’s policies, because the government sets and implements its policies not only according to the current situation but also according to short run and long run predictions of important economic variables like oil price...

Local scour around piers is the major cause of their foundation failure in the river bends that endangers the stability of the structure and its efficiency. Riprap is commonly placed around the bridges piers for local scour protection. The aim of this study was to present an equation for estimating stable riprap diameter around a cylindrical bridge pier in river bends. In this study, using an e...
