Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrologic Modeling to Evaluate the Impact of Hydraulic Fracturing on Stream Low Flows: Challenges and Opportunities for a Simulation StudySuresh Sharma, Aashish Shrestha, Colleen E. McLean, Scott C. MartinHydraulic fracturing (fracking) has been increasing in the eastern part of Ohio for the last few years leading to the increased stress on water resources, particularly on the hydrological low flows. Yet, evaluation of the various impacts of fracking on stream low flows using appropriate tools is still a challenging issue, even though significant progress has been achieved in recent … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 10,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuture Water Budgets and Water Supply Stress under Climate Change and Urbanization in the Upper Neuse River Basin, North Carolina, USAMichelle Tong Sun, Ge Sun, Chong Liu et al.Urbanization and climate change are the two major threats to watersheds and the environment in the United States. It is imperative to understand the sensitivity of hydrologic responses to climate and urbanization across different physiographic regions in order to formulate sound watershed management strategies and policies. This study evaluated a watershed water balance model, Water Supply Stress Index (WaSSI), with … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 30 Jun 2015 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Phenomenon of Nonzero Norm of Long-Term Changes in the Total Water Supply in River BasinsViktor V. Kovalenko, Ekaterina V. GaidukovaIn hydrology, the norm of changes in water supply is considered to be equal to zero, under long-term averaging. This assumption allows for calculating and mapping the long-term evaporation rates linked by the water balance with maps of precipitation and river runoff. The phenomenon of nonzero norm of change of the total water supply is provided using the effect of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 May 2015 · 6,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Soil and Water Assessment Tool Model to Estimate Sediment Yield in Kaw LakeD. Alemayehu, R. Srinivasan, P. DaggupatiKaw Lake is one of the reservoirs built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1976 for the purpose of flood control, recreation, water supply, navigation and fish and wildlife conservation. The Arkansas River flows from Colorado and Kansas before reaching Oklahoma. As it passes through these states, the water carries various kinds of pollutants such as metals from mine … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 16 Dec 2014 · 8,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSESSMENT OF OIL PALM PLANTATION AND TROPICAL PEAT SWAMP FOREST WATER QUALITY BY MULTIVARIATE STATISTICAL ANALYSISSeca Gandaseca, Noraini Rosli, Mohammad Shawkat Hossain, Chandra Imam AriantoThis study reports the spatio-temporal changes in river and canal water quality of peat swamp forest and oil palm plantation sites of Sarawak, Malaysia. To investigate temporal changes, 192 water samples were collected at four stations of BatangIgan, an oil palm plantation site of Sarawak, during July-November in 2009 and April-July in 2010. Nine water quality parameters including Electrical Conductivity … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 3 Jul 2014 · 8,218 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF EXTREME RAINFALLS DISTRIBUTION IN MALANG RESIDENCEAmran, Iriawan Nur, Subiono, IrhamahExtreme rainfalls often occur everywhere just in a moment, very difficult to be anticipated and produce very detrimental impact to the environment and human society. Floods and landslides are influenced by high variability of extreme rainfalls, especially in the watershed area for floods and the hills as well as mountains for landslides, such as in Malang Residence, East Java, Indonesia … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2013 · 6,768 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Approach to the Model use for Measuring Suspended Sediment Yield in Ungauged CatchmentsSokchhay Heng, Tadashi SuetsugiDifferent types of water resources studies require the information of Suspended Sediment Yield (SSY) in different time resolutions. In ungauged watersheds where hydrometeorogical time series are not available, the mean annual SSY (SSYa) is solely predictable and catchment area is traditionally used as the predictor because it is the most important variable and generally determined during project planning. Firstly, this … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 11 Sep 2013 · 6,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrological and Sediment Transport Simulation to Assess the Impact of Dam Construction in the Mekong River Main ChannelSatoshi Kameyama, Hiroto Shimazaki, Seiichi Nohara et al.The downstream impact of dams is a complex problem in watershed management. In the upper Mekong River watershed and its main channel, dam construction projects were started in the 1950s to meet increasing demands for energy and food production. Dams called the Mekong Cascade were completed on the Mekong River in China, the Manwan Dam in 1996 and the Dachaoshan … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 29 Jun 2013 · 8,571 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Scale Modeling to Estimate Phosphorus and Sediment Load Reductions Using a Newly Developed Graphical User Interface for Soil and Water Assessment ToolAaron R. Mittelstet, Erin R. Daly, Daniel E. Storm et al.Streams throughout the North Canadian River watershed in northwest Oklahoma, USA have elevated levels of nutrients and sediment. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to identify areas that likely contributed disproportionate amounts of Phosphorus (P) and sediment to Lake Overholser, the receiving reservoir at the watershed outlet. These sites were then targeted by the Oklahoma Conservation Commission (OCC) … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,470 accessesView PDFCite
