Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEscherichia Coli and Biophysicochemical Relationships of Seawater and Water Pollution Index in the Jakarta BayEndan Suwandana, Kensuke Kawamura, Kazuhiko Tanaka et al.Problem statement: Relationships between Escherichia coli (E. coli) and biophysicochemical properties of seawater at different seasons and water pollution index were investigated in the Jakarta Bay, Indonesia. Approach: Water quality data taken at different seasons (Early Rainy Season (ERS) in November 2007 and Late Dry Season (LDS) in August 2008) were analyzed. Additionally, to compare pollution level at different seasons, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Jul 2011 · 7,992 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdjustment of Peak Streamflows of a Tropical River for UrbanizationAta Amini, Thamer Mohammad Ali, Abdul Halim B Ghazali, Bujang Kim HuatPeak runoff from a catchment is influenced by many factors such as intensity and duration of rainfall, catchment topography, catchment shape, land use and other variables. For a particular catchment, landuse change and other human activities will alter the characteristic of catchment hydrograph. Problem statement: As a result of urbanization, the magnitude of floods occurring in a catchment increased. It … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,546 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRainfall Depth-Duration-Frequency Relationships for South Carolina, North Carolina, and GeorgiaJ. P. Raiford, N.M. Aziz, A.A. Khan, D.N. PowellThe depth-duration-frequency curves and isopluvial maps for the region encompassing South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia were developed using the available rainfall data. The aim was to update the existing intensity-duration-frequency curves in the region and obtain these curves at ungauged sites throughout the region using the newly developed rainfall frequency analysis techniques. A total of 17 durations ranging from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,323 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Near Real-time Early Warning System on Erosion HazardsFaisal H. Ali, Tew K. HuiWith many incidences of landslides, mudslides and erosion occurrences lately, especially in the highlands in Malaysia, properties were damaged and lives were lost. Seeing the need of resolving and minimizing such untoward incidences, a study has been embarked on developing a near real-time early warning system on erosion hazards so as to provide an early warning to the public, whenever … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,706 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison of Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Models for Reconstruction of Rainfall Fields in a Cloud Seeding ExperimentSujit k. sahu, Giovanna Jona Lasinio, Arianna orasi, Kanti V. MardiaIn response to the drought experienced in Southern Italy a rain seeding project has been setup and developed during the years 1989-1994. The initiative was taken with the purpose of applying existing methods of rain enhancement technology to regions of south Italy including Puglia. The aim of this study is to provide statistical support for the evaluation of the experimental … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,810 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Relation Between Jet Stream Location and Cyclones Over the Western IranManuchehr Farajzadeh, Asadolah Khorany, Hassan LashkaryDaily rain data for the selected stations were obtained from the Meteorological Organization of Iran for the 1985-1999 period. The consecutive rain days of length 1 to 5 days and widespread over the study area were extracted. The jet tracks and speed surges were extracted from the daily weather maps of IRIMO for the 54 selected rainy periods. The results … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,814 accessesView PDF Cite
