Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling the Distribution of Rainfall Intensity using Hourly DataSalisu Dan'azumi, Supiah Shamsudin, Azmi ArisProblem statement: Design of storm water best management practices to control runoff and water pollution can be achieved if a prior knowledge of the distribution of rainfall characteristics is known. Rainfall intensity, particularly in tropical climate, plays a major role in the design of runoff conveyance and erosion control systems. This study is aimed to explore the statistical distribution of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Modeling of Flow in a Horizontal Sand FilterRuth Mossad, Hal AralProblem statement: Horizontal sand filters may offer some advantage over vertical sand filters as they could be used for in-line treatment of wastewaters. Horizontal pipelines of tens and if not hundreds of meters length, filled with ordinary sand or permeable reactive media such as activated carbon or natural zeolite or iron filings, may be used to remove impurities from mine … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFade Margin Analysis Due to Duststorm Based on Visibility Data Measured in a DesertMd. Rafiqul Islam, Zain Elabdin Elshaikh, Othman O. Khalifa et al.Problem statement: The fade margin analysis of microwave propagation in areas affected by duststorm had been presented in this study. Approach: Based on long term duststorm data recorded in Riyadh-Saudi Arabia, the fade margin due to duststorm effects estimated. Results: The fade margin due to duststorm then derived under various water contents during the storm. Conclusion/Recommendations: It was particularly shown … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,674 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: A qualitative research was used … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproved Continuing Losses Estimation Using Initial Loss-Continuing Loss Model for Medium Sized Rural CatchmentsMahbub Ilahee, Monzur Alam ImteazProblem statement: The rainfall based design flood estimation techniques are commonly adopted in hydrological design and require a number of inputs including information on soil loss characteristics. Approach: A conceptual loss model known as the ‘Initial Loss-Continuing Loss (IL-CL) model’ is widely used in Australia. Results: The Initial Loss (IL) occurs at the beginning of the rainfall event, prior to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,594 accessesView PDFCite
