Informing Decision Making for Agricultural Watersheds

Agricultural Watersheds Using Dwsm

DWSM, the dynamic watershed simulation model, was expanded with a subsurface and a reservoir flow routing schemes. The hydrology and sediment components of the model were applied to three agricultural watersheds in Illinois, Big Ditch (100 km2), Court Creek (250 km2), and Upper Sangamon River (2,400 km2), to simulate spatially and temporally varying surface and subsurface storm water runoff, pr...

Bilateral Schwartze Sign, Decision-Making for Surgery

Otosclerosis is an otic capsule disorder that leads to progressive conductive and/or sensorineural hearing loss due to stapes footplate fixation and cochlear bone involvement. The disorder is bilateral in 70% of patients and it usually starts between the third and fifth decade. One of its characteristic clinical findings is Schwartze sign which refers to a reddish discoloration over the promont...

Sediment flow behaviour from small agricultural watersheds

Runoff, soil loss, sediment concentration, and particle size distribution of sediment eroded by runoff events were measured between 1976 and 2000 from 5 small agricultural watersheds on Vertisols at ICRISAT Center, Patancheru, India. The effects of storm size and land management system on total soil loss and size distribution of sediment during runoff are discussed. At the beginning of runoff e...
