Propagule pressure and habitat characteristics are important factors used to predict the distribution of invasive alien species. For species exhibiting strong propagule pressure because of human-mediated introduction of species, indicators of introduction potential must represent the behavioral characteristics of humans. This study examined 64 agricultural ponds to assess the visibility of pond...

Water pollution is one of the most critical global issues. Meanwhile, problem water rivers especially in Iran rising due to expansion agricultural and industrial applications. Due a large number sewer catchments, there are some dam reservoirs like ZHAVE Iranian state Kurdistan that have not been able collect significant amount since last 10 years. Removal heavy metals as contaminants from runof...

Reservoirs overflow during flood season because of sedimentation cycles, which severely affects their effectiveness. Siltation is a major problem in dams constructed waterways arid and semi-arid areas. Therefore, the reservoirs wadis lose capacity due to sedimentation. This study determines an optimal design trapping basin on steep slope areas for Wadi Bishah Asir region southwestern Saudi Arab...

Control of sedimentation in reservoirs of dams is considered to be one of the most important issues in exploitation of dams and increasing their useful life. Reservoirs act as traps for sediments and prevent transport of sediments to the river. The deposited sediments will decrease the capacity of the reservoirs so that they cannot be in use any more. Various methods are discussed in this study...

Dam reservoirs play an important role in meeting sustainable development goals (SDGs) and global climate targets. However, particularly for small dam reservoirs, there is a lack of consistent data on their geographical location. To address this gap, promising approach to perform automated reservoir extraction based globally available remote sensing imagery. It can be considered as fine-grained ...
