An Experimental Study on Feasibility of Using Settling Basin as a Storage Basin for Water Use

Characteristic mega-basin water storage behavior using GRACE

[1] A long-standing challenge for hydrologists has been a lack of observational data on global-scale basin hydrological behavior. With observations from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission, hydrologists are now able to study terrestrial water storage for large river basins (>200,000 km2), with monthly time resolution. Here we provide results of a time series model of ...

Pilot Study of Brackish Water Treatment using Dual Stage Nanofi ltration for Domestic Use in Thu Bon Basin, Vietnam

Due to the impact of climate change, the process of salinity intrusion occurs frequently in coastal areas of Vietnam. The main objective of this study is therefore to try diff erent nanofi ltration (NF) processes (such as single-stage and dual-stage NF) to treat brackish water for residential areas in Thu Bon river basin, where the salinity varies signifi cant with seas...

A river basin as a common-pool resource: A case study for the Jaguaribe basin in Brazil Value of Water

Basin-wide water accounting based on remote sensing data: an application for the Indus Basin

The paper demonstrates the application of a new water accounting plus (WA+) framework to produce information on depletion of water resources, storage change, and land and water productivity in the Indus basin. It shows how satellite-derived estimates of land use, rainfall, evaporation (E), transpiration (T ), interception (I ) and biomass production can be used in addition to measured basin out...

Evaluation of sediments trap efficiency in medium-scale settling basins (Case Study: Settling basin of Kamandan intake)

One of the most important issues in water supply for agriculture or drinking is sediment control.Sedimentation in water conveyance channels reduces transmission efficiency. this study evaluated theefficiency of settling basin of Kamandan intake that is located in the village of Aligoodarz in Lorestanprovince. At first sample from water and sediment in inlet and outlet of settling basin in diffe...
