Streamflow droughts assessment in Kurdistan Province, Iran
In this paper, we analyzed the streamflow droughts based on the Percent of Normal Index (PNI) and clustering approaches in the Kurdistan Province, Iran, over the 1981-2010. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test was considered for streamflow time series and the results of K-S test indicated that streamflow time series did follow the normal distribution at the 0.05 significance level. Generally, the ...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal development of streamflow droughts in north-west Europe
This paper examines the spatial and temporal development of streamflow droughts in Europe over the last 40 years, differentiating the climatic factors that drive drought formation from catchment controls on drought manifestation. A novel approach for quantifying and comparing streamflow and precipitation depletion is presented. This approach considers atypical flow or rainfall events, as well a...
متن کاملThree modelling approaches for seasonal streamflow droughts in southern Africa: the use of censored data
Three approaches to modelling the duration of streamflow droughts at eight southern African sites are considered; a non-parametric method (that of KaplanMeier) is compared with the fitting of two simple parametric models: the exponential and Weibull. All techniques allow the instantaneous probability of a drought coming to an end to differ between wet and dry seasons, using the concept of censo...
متن کاملA tale of two rivers: implications of water management practices for mussel biodiversity outcomes during droughts.
Droughts often pose situations where stream water levels are lowest while human demand for water is highest. Here we present results of an observational study documenting changes in freshwater mussel communities in two southern US rivers during a multi-year drought. During a 13-year period water releases into the Kiamichi River from an impoundment were halted during droughts, while minimum rele...
متن کاملEndomyocardial Fibrosis in Northern Nigerian Girl
Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a disease of the tropics and subtropics; and the most common cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy. In Nigeria, it is more common in the rain forest zone; though few case reports have been documented in the Northern part of Nigeria; it is often more common amongst adolescents and young adults and in individuals of low socio-economic class. They may be asymptomatic...
