Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are used to estimate different morphologies, analysis of river profile, delineating drainage basin and drainage pattern associated with lithological and structural changes. The study area is Maroon River located in Khuzestan Province, Iran. In this study geomorphometric analysis based on DEM carried out to understand Maroon river uplift rate and tectonic- erosion...

the management of water table is introduced as one of the major parts of the solutions in water resources management. this method could play a significant role in protecting water resources, increasing irrigation efficiency, preserving nutrients in soil, and protecting the quality of surface downstream, and as well, of groundwater. towards this end, a laboratory study has been done on the effec...

Thirteen million [corrected] metric tons of poultry litter are produced annually by poultry producers in the U.S. Poultry litter contains the sex hormones estradiol and testosterone, endocrine disruptors that have been detected in surface waters. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential impact of poultry litter applications on estradiol and testosterone concentrations in subsur...

Polymer stabilized emulsions are commonplace in industries ranging from cosmetics and foods to pharmaceuticals. Understanding the physical properties of emulsions is of critical importance to the rapid advancement of industrial applications. In this work, we use a sessile drop geometry to examine the effects of viscosity changes of the surrounding glycerine/water solution on polystyrene-b-polye...

In this study, the coalescence time between two contacting sub-resonance size bubbles was measured experimentally under an acoustic pressure ranging from 10kPa to 120kPa, driven at a frequency of 22.4kHz. The coalescence time obtained under sonication was much longer compared to that calculated by the film drainage theory for a free bubble surface without surfactants. It was found that under th...

Recent developments in urban drainage modelling allow for a more realistic coupling of the two-dimensional (2D) surface and one-dimensional (1D) sub-surface drainage domain exchanging water through storm drain inlets instead of a sub-catchment approach based on manholes. Experience has shown, however, that comprehensive records of storm drain inlet locations are often missing or incomplete, pre...

[1] The High Plains Aquifer (HPA), underlying parts of 8 states from South Dakota to Texas, is one of the largest fresh water aquifers in the world and accounts for 30% of the groundwater used for irrigation in the US. Determining the distribution of HPA’s hydraulic conductivity (K) is critical for water management and addressing water quality issues. K is traditionally estimated from well pump...

AIM To compare the intermediate-term efficacy of a large surface area Baerveldt 350 mm2 glaucoma drainage device (GDD) with medium surface area implants (Baerveldt 250 mm2 and Molteno 3, 230, or 245 mm2). DESIGN This is a retrospective, nonrandomized comparative trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 94 eyes of 94 patients of mixed glaucoma diagnoses without any prior glaucoma surgical pro...

7 Abstract Streambed drainage was measured at the 8 cessation of 26 ephemeral streamflow events in Rillito 9 Creek, Tucson, Arizona from August 2000 to June 2002 10 using buried time domain reflectometry (TDR) probes. An 11 unusual drainage response was identified, which was char12 acterized by sharp drainage from saturation to near field 13 capacity at each depth with an increased delay betwee...

This paper reports regional drainage patterns observed during the development of surface drainage maps from aerial photographs of sev­ eral counties in Indiana. This drainage mapping is a part of the current highway research program at Purdue University. The airphotos used in this work were taken during 1937-1943 in connection with the United States Department of Agriculture map program. The pr...
