This paper presents a synthesis of the main theoretical and empirical contributions that analyse production choices of farm households living and operating in developing countries. The review is particularly concerned with recent micro-economic contributions that highlight the trade-off farm households typically face, between full-income risk and expected return, while making production decisio...

Decline curve analysis has some advantages over transient well test analysis in which it is not required to shut-in the well and also wellbore storage effects do not exist. Few studies have been done on decline curve analysis of naturally fractured reservoirs but there are even some limitations with available models. On the other hand well test could be expensive and in some operational conditi...

prior to the implementation of co2 injection eor projects, the screening evaluation of candidate reservoirs will promote the economic benefits of co2 injection. currently, a uniform screening method for co2 miscible flooding does not exist. based on more than 112 successfully implemented co2 miscible flooding reservoirs, which was referred in 2010 worldwide eor survey, and co2 miscible flooding...

Various reservoirs have been serving as the most important drinking water sources in Zhejiang Province, China, due to the uneven distribution of precipitation and severe river pollution. Unfortunately, rapid urbanization and industrialization have been continuously challenging the water quality of the drinking-water reservoirs. The identification and assessment of potential impacts is indispens...

circular- crested weirs are employed for flow measurement among their other wide applications in hydraulic engineering. they can also be used to control water level in farm ponds and reservoirs. advantages of the circular crested weirs as compared to other weirs include the stable overflow pattern, the simplicity of design and their associated lower costs. in this study, the curvilinear flow pa...

man-made reservoirs constructed on running waters, where a decrease in flow velocity and anincrease in flocculent settling occurs, create perfect conditions for the deposition of allohtonic matter andadsorbed pollutants, such as toxic polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (pcdds) and polychlorinateddibenzofurans (pcdfs). the results obtained from the research on a cascade of five small reservoirs l...

The Iran Water Resources Management Company constructs many dams to control surface water that provide a new potential for aquaculture activities. Trophic status index and natural potential for fish production were investigated in nine small dam reservoirs from northwest of Iran. Prediction of fish productivity was calculated based on phytoplankton biomass (using chlorophyll a concentration in ...
