Case study Malaysia: Spatial water quality assessment of Juru, Kuantan and Johor River Basins using environmetric techniques
This study investigates spatial water quality assessment of selected river basins in the three different states in Malaysia. Environmetric techniques namely, cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA), and discriminant analysis (DA), were applied to study the spatial variations of the most significant water quality variables in order to determine the origin of pollution sources ...
متن کاملAssessment of nitrogen leaching from arable land in large river basins Part I. Simulation experiments using a process-based model
A two-step procedure for analysing nitrogen leaching from arable land in large river basins is suggested: (1) application of a process-based dynamic model for a set of representative conditions in a large river basin to simulate water and nitrogen fluxes and (2) development of a fuzzy-rule based metamodel using the simulated nitrogen fluxes in Step 1 as a training set. After that the metamodel ...
متن کاملCoupled daily streamflow and water temperature modelling in large river basins
Realistic estimates of daily streamflow and water temperature are required for effective management of water resources (e.g. for electricity and drinking water production) and freshwater ecosystems. Although hydrological and process-based water temperature modelling approaches have been successfully applied to small catchments and short time periods, much less work has been done at large spatia...
متن کاملExperience of model integration and Pareto frontier visualization in the search for preferable water quality strategies
A real-life application of a new approach to integrated assessment and screening of water quality improvement strategies in large river basins is presented. The approach is based on the integration of diverse data and mathematical models as well as on the application of interactive visualization of the Pareto frontier. The case study water quality planning in the Oka River, the Volga River basi...
متن کاملSimulation of river streams: Comparison of a new technique with QUAL2E
Predictions and quality management issues for environmental protection in river basins rely on water-quality models. These models can be used to simulate conditions in or near the range of the calibrated or verified conditions. In this respect, estimation of parameters, which is still practiced by heuristic approaches (i.e. manually), seems to be the point where the attention needs to be focuse...
