Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGeomorphology Using Geographic Information System and Globel MapperEmad AkawwiAn effort has been made to evaluate drainage morphometry and its influence on landform processes, geology and erosion characteristics in Jordan Valley and surrounding area. Geological maps 1:50,000 scale and the professional Google Earth images were used for analysis of various morphometric, lithological and landform characteristics of Jordan Valley basin. Morphometric analysis was carried out at sub basin level using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 18 Sep 2013 · 7,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDetermining Potential Sites for Runoff Water Harvesting using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems-Based Modeling in SinaiHossam H. Elewa, Atef A. Qaddah, Ayman A. El-FeelProblem statement: Sinai is increasingly suffering from an overwhelming water crisis. Runoff Water Harvesting (RWH) could be a solution for this problem. The determined promising drainage basins for RWH could be used by the decision makers to propose appropriate controlling systems to overcome the problem of water scarcity and for implementing runoff farming and rain-fed agriculture. Approach: Remote sensing, geographic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2012 · 8,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Review of Static Tests and Recent StudiesSrilert ChotpantaratProblem statement: Acid mine drainage from waste rocks, tailings and other mine components, is one of the most important environmental concerns at mining sites. To attempt to determine the balance between the acid and neutralization potentials of the material and evaluate the possible acid-forming potential of mine waste, many static prediction tests have been developed to evaluate the acid-forming potentials … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 19 Apr 2011 · 7,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEnvironmental Functions Provided by Malaysian Local Government: User's PerceptionZaherawati Zakaria, Zuriawati Zakaria, Nazni Noordin, Mohd Zool Hilmie Mohamed SawalProblem statement: This research is about users’ perception of environmental functions provided by local government focused on Kedah Local authorities. Recently, the local authorities in Malaysia have been soundly criticized for poor management and they are subjected to daily barrage of questions and complaints directly in the press and tougher higher ups at the state and federal levels. Approach: Due … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFreshwater Situation in Kuwait-Remote Sensing Inputs on Possibility of Artificial RechargeM. Al-Murad, S. Uddin, A. Al-DousariProblem statement: Kuwait is an arid country having per capita freshwater consumption of 485 l day-1. Almost the entire freshwater requirements are met through desalination. The water tariffs in the country are very low consequent to 60% subsidy provided by the government. The use of tertiary treated wastewater is restricted to irrigation and forestation; this leaves huge surplus that can … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,412 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPreliminary Tests Concerning Zero-Valent Iron Efficiency in Inorganic Pollutants RemediationSilvia Fiore, Maria Chiara ZanettiProblem statement: This study was aimed to a preliminary evaluation of the applicability of granular Zero-Valent Iron (ZVI) to the on site remediation of groundwater polluted by inorganic contaminants by means of a Permeable Reactive Barrier (PRB). A particular interest was devoted to groundwater impacted by Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) that was caused by the oxidation of metal sulphide minerals … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,790 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Covers and Rainfall on Soil and Water Conservation Using a Tilting Flume ModelS. Compliew, L. Suwanchai, N. KrongwiengThe effect of stone and vegetative covers was evaluated for soil and water conservation in a waterway on salty soils in the Northeast of Thailand. Experiments were conducted on a hydraulic tilting flume under simulated unit flow (120 and 45 cm2s-1), rainfall (120 mm/hr) and slope (0, 1.2,1.4,1.6,1.8,2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8 and 3.0%) conditions. The depth of soil was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,633 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsClimate Change Adaptation in Acid Sulfate LandscapesChuxia LinOxidation of sulfide minerals produces sulfuric acid and consequently creates Acid Sulfate Landscapes (ASLs), which represent one of the most degraded types of land-surface environments. Although acid sulfate-producing weathering is a naturally occurring process, it is markedly facilitated by human intervention. Mining is by far the dominant anthropogenic cause for the creation of inland acid sulfate footprints while land reclamation … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Jul 2012 · 7,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Rainfall Forecasting Using Sequential Momentum-Based Artificial Neural Networks for Urban Flood ManagementSherin K K, G. SuganthiUrban floods cause severe disruption in densely populated cities and damage essential public infrastructure. Rapid urbanization and weak drainage systems further increase the risk during heavy rainfall. Accurate short-term rainfall forecasting is required to support early warning and reduce losses. This research focuses on improving rainfall prediction accuracy using an Artificial Neural Network trained with a new optimizer named Sequential … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 9 Apr 2026 · 1,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Surface Drag Interval in the Variable SituationsParisa Ashrafi, Amir Hossein Ashrafi, Hossein Gholami et al.Tools applied in different fields of engineering are artificial neural networks to model non-linear systems which are efficient and useful. Artificial neural networks consist of input and output layers with one or more hidden layers between them. In fact, one or more processing elements or neurons are used in each layer. Input layer neurons are the independent variables studied and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2022 · 6,005 accessesView PDFCite
