Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessing the Trend of Climate Change in the Western NepalPurna Bahadur Khand, Vikash Kumar KC, Ananta Raj Dhungana, Surya Mani DhunganaThis study assesses the change in the climatic variables in the western region of Nepal. Monthly data on minimum temperature, maximum temperature and rainfall for five stations, namely, Chame, Lumle, Khudibazar, Khairenitar and Dumkauli of Manang, Kaski, Lumjung, Tanahu and Nawalparasi districts respectively, obtained from the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM) of Nepal are considered. Data availability for these … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 6 · 22 Dec 2020 · 7,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEstimation of Natural and Artificial Recharge of Shahreza Plain Groundwater in Isfahan Using CRD and Hantush ModelsMohsen Nekooei, Jahangir Abedi Koupai, Saeid Eslamian et al.Cumulative Rainfall Departure model (CRD) is widely used for estimation of ground natural recharge. This model is based on the groundwater balance and it requires random parameters. Moreover, an increase in the static level under artificial recharge facility is simulated using diffusion equations. Since Shahreza Plain is located in an arid and semi-arid area and given that rainfall is the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2020 · 6,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStorm Runoff Estimation Using an Object Oriented Approach Based on the Concepts of System DynamicsMaryam Ghashghaie, Saeid Eslamian, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Ali Hasantabar AmiriDeveloping nations are imposing the increasing impacts on their bio-resources due in part to their rising population, need to high economic growth and the incorporation of non-native technologies. Usually, watersheds are the major units, which are influenced leading to un-sustainability, specifically from the view point of water resources and hydrologic systems. Relying on a linear causal thinking, most of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 19 Mar 2018 · 7,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFatigue Life Prediction of Screw Blade in Screw Sand Washing Machine under Random Load with Gauss DistributionJie Gong, Yun-Fei Fu, Wen Xia et al.The purpose of this study is to present a new method for estimating the fatigue life of the screw blade in the screw sand washing machine. To ensure the accuracy of numerical simulation, the loading area and the value of load are determined by means of the theoretical analysis. To ascertain the location of the stress peak and stress range, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2016 · 8,010 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluating the Effects of Climate Change and Variability on Water Resources: A Case Study of the Cheliff Basin in AlgeriaYamina Elmeddahi, Hacene Mahmoudi, Abderrahmane Issaadi et al.In aim to well understand of the association between climate change, variability and their impact on water resources availability, an analysis was conducted of the trends in rainfall and stream flows across the Cheliff basin in Algeria. Sen’s non-parametric estimator of slope was employed to estimate the extent of tendencies, whose statistical significance was measured by the Mann-Kendall (MK) and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 12 May 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImpacts 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 · 9,275 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLocal Climate Trends and Farmers’ Perceptions in Southern Tigray, Northern EthiopiaM. G. Abrha, S. SimhadriThis study aimed to investigate changes in local climate, farmers’ perception to the change and factors affecting perception of farmers to climate change. For trend analysis, we gathered station based rainfall records for the period 1978-2012, while for perception analysis survey was carried out. 600 farming households were randomly selected from four districts using a multi-stage sampling method. Nonparametric analysis … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 8 Oct 2015 · 7,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRiver Flow Conditions and Dynamic State Analysis of Pahang RiverMuhamad Barzani Gasim, M. E. Toriman, Mushrifah Idris et al.Pahang River (Sg. Pahang) is the longest river in Peninsular Malaysia. Flood is a common event in Pahang River Basin during wet season which triggered by monsoon season. The hydrodynamic study of Pahang River should be well understood especially when it is a target of northeast monsoon which influenced the Pahang River Basin every year (from November to March). 17 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2013 · 8,709 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSensitivity of Fish Landings to Some Meteorological Parameters: A Case StudyMadihah Jafar-Sidik, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: A widely held belief that climate change has impacts on sustainable fish catch leads us to find out how these effects influence fish landings in Sabah, Malaysia, especially for the west and east coasts, based upon monsoonal periods. Correlation of fish landings with rainfall suggests that local fish landing is believed to be sensitive to the effects of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImproved 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 · 7,599 accessesView PDFCite
