Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Reservoir Operation Using Combined Genetic Algorithm and Wavelet Transform MethodL. Ebrahimi, G.A. Barani, H. EbrahimiDams construction are high cost projects, and therefore, optimal using of reservoir storages behind dams is an important task in water resources management. In last decades, various optimization techniques have been used for reservoir operation. Among the new methods, Genetic Algorithm (GA) and wavelet transform (WT) have been widely used in recent years. In this study, GA as well as … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,512 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring Water Quality Parameters of the Transboundry River NestosPsilovikos Aris, Margoni Sophia, Psilovikos AntoniosThe Nestos/Mesta river, shared by Greece and Bulgaria, needs monitoring system along its course for sustainable management and environmental preservation. Such a system, known as R.E.MO.S., was installed in the year 2000 and operates since then on a 24 h basis at a station in the river deltas channel. It records water level, water and air temperature, conductivity, redox potential … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,181 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordLong-term Effect of Conventional and No-Tillage Production Systems on Nitrous Oxide Fluxes from Corn (Zea mays L.) Field in Southwestern QuebecAbdirashid Elmi, Bano Mehdi, Chandra Madramootoo et al.Problem statement: There is a growing trend in the adoption of conservation tillage as an alternative to conventional tillage farming system. Implications of this agricultural management shift with respect to nitrous oxide (N2O) emission, which has been a topic of intense research for the past few decades, is not yet completely understood. Approach: This study was conducted on a 2.4 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,016 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCrack Growth in Concrete Gravity Dams Based on Discrete Crack MethodA.R. Lohrasbi, R. AttarnejadSeepage is the most parameter in water management safety and in stable agricultural. This seepage is passed through the cracks that are present to some degree in hydraulic structures. They may exist as basic defects in the constituent materials or may be induced in construction or during service life. To avoid such failure in concrete dams, safety would be an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,078 accessesView PDF Cite
