Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimatic Severity Victims of Upstream Water Piracy Strongly Evidencing Inland Water-depletion Caused Global Warming vis-a-vis CoolingMiah M. Adel, Mahmood R. Hossain, Saiyeeda F. HossainSince the 80’s, the northwestern and the southwestern parts of the tropical Bangladesh located in the downstream Ganges basin have been having summer temperature above 109°F and winter temperature as low as 37°F. Every year people, particularly, the infants die from heat-and cold-related diseases and hospitals become packed-up with the victims of severe climatic condition. The objective of this research … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 15 Apr 2014 · 7,648 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSHALE GAS EXTRACTION AND WATER CONSUMPTION IN NORTH CAROLINA: A PRIMERManoj K. Jha, Daniel G. FernandezAbout 25,000 acres of area underlying the Deep and Dan River Basins in North Carolina has been identified to contain large shale gas reservoirs that could be used for the natural gas production. This study attempted to quantify the impact of potential hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) activities in the existing water resources of North Carolina. Supply and demand analysis was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 10 Apr 2014 · 8,036 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 · 6,995 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Design of a Photovoltaic Water Pumping and Treatment SystemAbderrahmen Ben Chaabene, Med Faouzi Elkaroui, Anis SellamiThrough the world, the exploitation of solar energies knew a strong growth these last years. It is interesting to exploit them on the place of consumption, by directly transforming into heat, or in electricity according to needs and especially in remote areas where power from utility is not available or is too costly to install. The use of photovoltaic sources … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 4 Jul 2013 · 7,634 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Flow Systems and Their Response to Climate Change: A Need for a Water-System View ApproachJoel J. Carrillo-Rivera, Antonio CardonaProblem statement: The interest in early hydrogeological studies was the aquifer unit, as it is the physical media that stores and permits groundwater transfers from the recharge zone to the discharge zone, making groundwater available to boreholes for water extraction. Approach: Recently, the aquifer concept has been complemented by the groundwater flow system theory, where groundwater may be defined by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 7 Apr 2012 · 8,085 accessesView PDFCite
