the multi-criteria decision making model is an important tool for decision making in water resource management. in this paper, the topsis model was used to rank seven flood management options in the gorganrood river flood management project, including conservation of natural condition, golestan reservoir management, levee construction, diversions-channel construction, flood forecasting and warn...

The underwater sensor network (UWSN) is one of the most predominant research areas for gathering information from unexplored and inaccessible regions under the sea water. There are various areas exist which require the UWSN such as ocean bottom data collection, offshore discovery, disaster avoidance, pollution monitoring, navigation and surveillance. Due to these applications, the various resea...

Nine wineries and a water bottling plant situated in the Franschhoek Valley, South Africa, have decided to lead the way towards creating a safer and more sustainable environment in the Valley.
