Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDetermining Potential Sites for Runoff Water Harvesting using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems-Based Modeling in SinaiHossam H. Elewa, Atef A. Qaddah, Ayman A. El-FeelProblem statement: Sinai is increasingly suffering from an overwhelming water crisis. Runoff Water Harvesting (RWH) could be a solution for this problem. The determined promising drainage basins for RWH could be used by the decision makers to propose appropriate controlling systems to overcome the problem of water scarcity and for implementing runoff farming and rain-fed agriculture. Approach: Remote sensing, geographic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2012 · 8,483 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Rainfall Forecasting Using Sequential Momentum-Based Artificial Neural Networks for Urban Flood ManagementSherin K K, G. SuganthiUrban floods cause severe disruption in densely populated cities and damage essential public infrastructure. Rapid urbanization and weak drainage systems further increase the risk during heavy rainfall. Accurate short-term rainfall forecasting is required to support early warning and reduce losses. This research focuses on improving rainfall prediction accuracy using an Artificial Neural Network trained with a new optimizer named Sequential … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 9 Apr 2026 · 1,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating the Impact of Topography on Flooding in Owerri North, Imo State, Nigeria Using GIS and Remote Sensing TechniquesSylvanus Ibeabuchi IroThe aim of this study is to analyze the topographical contribution to floods in Owerri, North Imo State, Nigeria. Research was carried out to ascertain whether topographical elements played a role in the flooding in specific areas of Owerri North. As a result, very little research has looked at the effects of topography on flooding. Thus, there is a barrier … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2025 · 7,197 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Surface Drag Interval in the Variable SituationsParisa Ashrafi, Amir Hossein Ashrafi, Hossein Gholami et al.Tools applied in different fields of engineering are artificial neural networks to model non-linear systems which are efficient and useful. Artificial neural networks consist of input and output layers with one or more hidden layers between them. In fact, one or more processing elements or neurons are used in each layer. Input layer neurons are the independent variables studied and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2022 · 6,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Treated Wastewater in Terms of Environmental StandardsSona Pazdar, Saeid Eslamian, Hossein Gholami, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariThe desired use of refined wastewater has not yet found its proper place in many countries, therefore, achieving a relative equilibrium in the field of urban wastewater evacuation and re-utilizing it is a fundamental principle. And this great matter is not possible except by developing a comprehensive refinery waste management system. The set of measures that have been taken so … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 27 Sep 2019 · 7,908 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractUnderstanding the Relationship between Aquaculture and Poverty: The Case of Gurudaspur, NatoreSaman Saad, Raisa Bashar, Farah Yeasmin, Nazmul Ahsan KhanAquaculture is perceived as a source of income and economic raise in several small towns and villages of Bangladesh and Gurudaspur of Natore region is no different. From the 1990s onward it brought about a great economic boost. However, in the last decade and at present, several negative externalities of this practice have started to surface, including severe water-logging (after … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2018 · 9,442 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlood Vulnerability Mapping to Riverine Floods: A Study on the Old Brahmaputra RiverMuhammad Rezaul Rakib, Md. Nurul Islam, Muhammod Nazrul IslamFlood is an inevitable natural phenomenon occurring from time to time in all rivers and natural drainage systems of Bangladesh. It causes damage to lives and natural resources as well as the loss of economy and health. This study illustrates the flood vulnerability mapping to riverine floods in the Old Brahmaputra River in Mymensingh Sadar upazila. The flood vulnerability mapping … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 22 Dec 2017 · 14,128 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 abstractDevelopmental Design of Anaerobic Wetland System for Mining Waste Water TreatmentMuhammad Aqeel Ashraf, Mohd. Jamil Maah, Ismail YusoffProblem statement: Tin mining is one of the oldest industries in Malaysia that have started since 1820s. These mining activities have resulted in about 13,700 hectors of tin tailings throughout the peninsula. These tailings have created numerous environmental problems such as threat to natural reserves due to landscape changes, damage to natural drainage, pollution and destruction of natural habitats. Approach: … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,509 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metals Analysis and Sediment Quality Values in Urban LakesAboud S. Jumbe, N. NandiniProblem statement: The objective of this research was to evaluate the degree of heavy metal contamination in lakes and the extent to which the sediment quality of the lakes of Bangalore city has deteriorated. Approach: In this study, heavy metals such as Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Mn, Pb, Ni and Zn in lake bed sediments were analyzed using comparative sediment … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,571 accessesView PDFCite
