Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExponential Smoothing Method of Base Flow Separation and Its Impact on Continuous Loss EstimatesGurudeo Anand Tularam, Mahbub IlaheeThe calculation of loss is vital for design flood estimation models and in order to estimate continuing loss (CL), proportional loss (PL) and volumetric runoff coefficient, the surface runoff has to be separated from the total given in a stream flow hydrograph. To obtain the volume of surface runoff from the streamflow hydrograph, baseflow separation becomes necessary and in this … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,484 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Thermal Stratification in Urban Man-made LakesJ. Nouri, H. Rahimipour, R. NezakatiChitgar artificial lake, located in the urban District-22 Municipality of Tehran northwest of Tehran, Iran is by volume l0 Million Cubic Meter (MCM), by depth average 10 meters (m.) and by area 225 hectares (ha) as the Iran’s largest man-made lake. The most important water resources of the district, which can support the lake water, are Kan River, municipal runoff, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 7,189 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Characteristics of Land Cover in Mangkauk Catchment Area Using Support Vector Machine (SVM) And Artificial Neural Network (ANN)Ichsan Ridwan, Mohammad Bisri, Fadly Hairannoor Yusran et al.Land cover is anything that includes any types of appearance on the surface of the earth on a particular land. Information related to land cover can be used as at the parameter to determine the amount of runoff in a catchment area. This study was conducted in the Catchment Area (CA) of Mangkauk using Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS 2014 scene path/row … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 21 Jul 2017 · 7,652 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Status of Fishes in the Yangtze River and its Ecological Health AssessmentChun-Jiao Lu, Jin-Jing Duan, Muhammad Junaid et al.The Yangtze River, ranking behind the Nile and the Amazon rivers, is the third longest river in the world. The Three Gorges Dam constructed on the Yangtze River dramatically altered the ecological environment in the surroundings. In this review, we integrated the published data about the Three Gorges Project and systematically analyzed the status of fish population in the Three … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 4 Apr 2016 · 10,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpacts of Large-Scale Stormwater Green Infrastructure Implementation and Climate Variability on Receiving Water Response in the Salt Lake City AreaChris York, Erfan Goharian, Steven J. BurianThis study evaluated impacts of Green Infrastructure (GI) as a stormwater management practice on return flows and the further Implications of climate variability. The goal was to create a model to explore the impacts that bioretention and Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) representing GI had using goldsim and Stormwater Management Modeling (SWMM) software. The software was used to represent impacts that climate … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 20 Oct 2015 · 9,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating Rainwater Harvesting System for School BuildingsManoj K. Jha, Nishant ShahFreshwater is becoming limited as our climate and weather pattern changes. In this study, a rainwater harvesting system was evaluated for collecting and utilizing rainwater for uses in non-potable purposes. Water-Balance was carried out for two design scenarios: Single tank and double tank, for irrigation in all main fields (202,724 ft2). The irrigation demand for the entire field was estimated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 22 Sep 2015 · 8,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Phenomenon of Nonzero Norm of Long-Term Changes in the Total Water Supply in River BasinsViktor V. Kovalenko, Ekaterina V. GaidukovaIn hydrology, the norm of changes in water supply is considered to be equal to zero, under long-term averaging. This assumption allows for calculating and mapping the long-term evaporation rates linked by the water balance with maps of precipitation and river runoff. The phenomenon of nonzero norm of change of the total water supply is provided using the effect of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 May 2015 · 6,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Soil and Water Assessment Tool Model to Estimate Sediment Yield in Kaw LakeD. Alemayehu, R. Srinivasan, P. DaggupatiKaw Lake is one of the reservoirs built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1976 for the purpose of flood control, recreation, water supply, navigation and fish and wildlife conservation. The Arkansas River flows from Colorado and Kansas before reaching Oklahoma. As it passes through these states, the water carries various kinds of pollutants such as metals from mine … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 16 Dec 2014 · 8,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeomorphology 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 · 7,090 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metal Contamination of Soils and Water Resources Kettara Abandoned MineManuel Valiente, Gustavo Perez, Marta Avila et al.Problem statement: Metal mining; together with mineral smelting and processing, have contaminated the environment surrounding mine areas throughout the world exceeding natural background concentration. Approach: These processes introduce metal contaminants into the environment through gaseous and particulate emissions, waste liquids and solid wastes. The principal objective of this study was to investigate soil and water contamination in the vicinity of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 8 May 2012 · 8,831 accessesView PDFCite
