Complex network theory, streamflow, and hydrometric monitoring system design

Regional Evaluation of Hydrometric Monitoring Stations through Using Entropy Theory

Proper design and operation of monitoring systems for water resources management is one of themost important issues of water quality and quantity and accuracy and adequacy of data. The properevaluation of these data has a determining role in the correctand consistent decisions in the areacovered by the system. Therefore, determining proper distribution and number of monitoringnetwork stations a...

Impacts of combining meteorological and hydrometric data on the accuracy of streamflow modeling

Trend Analysis of the Streamflow in the Lighvan River hydrometric Stations (Upstream and Downstream)

In recent years, rivers flows have significantly decreased due to regional or global climate change and human activities especially in the arid and semi-arid regions. In this study, the effect of climate change and human activities on the runoff responses was examined using hydrologic model simulation in the Lighvan basin located in the northwest of Iran. For determination of hydrologic model M...

Evaluation of monitoring network density using discrete entropy theory

The regional evaluation of monitoring stations for water resources can be of great importance due to its role in finding appropriate locations for stations, the maximum gathering of useful information and preventing the accumulation of unnecessary information and ultimately reducing the cost of data collection. Based on the theory of discrete entropy, this study analyzes the density of rain gag...
