Malama) We investigate the response of the saturated zone (unconfined aquifer) to evapotranspiration (ET) flux at ground surface. We neglect fluid fl...

Vegetation growing in the water along rivers plays an important role on the hydrodynamic behavior, on the ecological equilibrium and on the characteristics of the river. It has effects on the flow resistance and, as a result, has a large impact on water levels. The influence of non-submerged vegetation on flow is not so clear as yet; it needs to be further studied. The Acorus Calmus L is a kind...

[1] Hyporheic exchange is an ecologically important process, controlling the nutrient supply in the upper sediments and thus benthic habitat quality. Hydraulic exchange at a riffle-pool sequence in the Lahn River, Germany, was analyzed using HEC-RAS to simulate the surface water flow as a boundary for the subsurface flow and MODFLOW, MODPATH, and MT3DMS to reproduce the transport in the subsurf...

Low-flow is the flow of water in a river during prolonged dry weather. This paper investigated the uncertainty originating from hydrological model calibration and structure in low-flow simulations under climate change conditions. Two hydrological models of contrasting complexity, GR4J and SWAT, were applied to four sub-watersheds of the Yamaska River, Canada. The two models were calibrated usin...

This paper develops a new routing algorithm for improving simulation capacity of physically-based hydrological models applied to sparsely-gauged river basins. The study area is the Lhasa River basin, a large plateau basin with an area of 26,225 km2 in southwest China. In the basin, observations from three hydrological stations are available, and the observed hourly rainfall and summer stream fl...

A computer infrastructure which integrates the geographic information system (GIS), hydrodynamic model, visualization and network applications was developed and applied in Tamshui River, Taiwan. A digital terrain model (DTM) of the study area was first generated. We used it as a basis to construct the computation grids, conduct the flow simulations, and visualize the predicted flow scenarios in...

Awareness of the level of river flow and its fluctuations at different times is one of the significant factor to achieve sustainable development for water resource issues. Therefore, the present study two hybrid models, Wavelet- Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Interference System (WANFIS) and Wavelet- Artificial Neural Network (WANN) are used for flow prediction of Gamasyab River (Nahavand, Hamedan, Iran...
