Loon Nest Viability Model: A Performance Indicator for Improving Water-Level Regulation of Large Water Bodies

Strategic Considerations for Improving Water Sector Performance

In a series of articles on "best practices" of independent regulatory commissions (IRCs), Sanford Berg and Lynne Holt have noted the ways regulatory processes and policies either promote or deter investments in water and sanitation utility systems. In this article, the authors describe the constellation of factors affecting infrastructure investments and water utility operations. IRCs exercise ...

An Efficient Algorithm for Rendering Large Bodies of Water

Water rendering is one of the most computationally demanding task in computer graphics. Because of its computational complexity, real-time water rendering requires high-end hardwares. In this paper, we present a new algorithm for real-time rendering of large bodies of water such as open seas and oceans which results in an improved efficiency. Using interactive frustum, water surface can be flui...

A Stochastic Model for Water Resources Management

Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
