Floodplains are composed of aquatic and terrestrial habitats that are frequently reshaped by hydrologic processes operating at various spatial and temporal scales. I hypothesized that floodplain habitat complexity is maximized at intermediate discharges because small changes in flow result in substantial aquatic habitat changes and extreme discharges are associated with a decreased habitat hete...

The interest in the use of mathematical models for simulation hydrological processes has largely increased especially prediction runoff. It is subject extreme research among engineers and hydrologists. This study attempts to develop a simple conceptual model that reflects features arid environment where availability data scarce. simulates an hourly streamflow hydrograph peak flow rate any given...

In this paper we present the rationale and the preliminary results of a research project devoted to the appropriate and innovative use of remotely sensed data for water management in semi-arid regions. The study area is the district of Yatenga, northern Burkina Faso in the subSaharan belt of West Africa, where extreme climate conditions cause several problems: drought, floods, soil erosion. The...

Drainage is one of the most critical components to be maintained and developed in a strategically healthy comfortable urban environment. There are often puddles water on Budi Karya Street, especially at Permai Reservoir Complex. In solving existing inundation problem, primary secondary data needed. Primary form longitudinal transverse sections channel, while location maps, tidal data, rainfall ...

Changes in land use the Air Dingin watershed (DAS) area Padang City, Indonesia, lead to a decrease rainwater infiltration volume ground. Some Latung sub-watershed capacity with an increase surface runoff. This research aims determine effect of land-use changes on and Purposive sampling method was used this research. The measured directly field using double-ring infiltrometer, data processed Hor...

This paper applies an evolutionary algorithm, the particle swarm optimization (PSO), to design the optimum open channel section. Depth, channel side slope and bottom width are considered as the variables for rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal channels, respectively. The objective function is minimizing the construction cost of the channel section. MATLAB software is used for programming an...

the effect of drought indices on hydrostatic variations and qualitative parameters of the zahedan plain's aquifer was investigated. for this purpose, 12-year statistics from observational and piezometry wells in the plain, the drought index of percentage normal )pn), standardized precipitation index )spi(, and 30-year precipitation statistics of zahedan station were used. results revealed ...
