A simple method for the installation of groundwater lysimeters in peat soils was developed which reduces both time and financial effort significantly. The method was applied on several sites in the Rhinluch, a fen peat land 60 km northwest of Berlin, Germany. Over a two-year period, upward capillary flow and evapotranspiration rates under grassland with different groundwater levels were measure...

Forcing watershed models with downscaled climate data to quantify future water regime changes can improve confidence in planning. The Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was calibrated (R2 = 0.77, NSE 0.76, and PBIAS 7.1) validated 0.8, 0.78, 8.8) using observed monthly streamflow a representative mountainous the northeastern United States. Four global (GCMs) under two Representative Concentratio...

limitation of water resources in iran motivates sustaining and preserving of the resources in order to supply future water needs. fulfilling these objectives will not be possible unless having accurate water balance of watersheds. the purpose of this study is to estimate the water balance parameters using a distributed method. the large number of distributed models and methods was studied and “...

Background: Knowledge of the functional balance tests for the patients with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) may provide useful and accurate information about the balance function of these patients under different situations. Objectives: This study aims to review the functional balance tests for PwMS. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic review. The search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, LILA...

BACKGROUND Field-scale changes in the water footprint during crop growth play an important role in formulating sustainable water utilisation strategies. This study aimed to explore field-scale variation in the water footprint of growing sunflowers in the western Jilin Province, China, during a 3-year field experiment. The goals of this study were to (1) determine the components of the 'blue' an...
