Abstract This study aims to assess the impact of climate change on water balance component Katar and Meki watersheds Central Rift Valley Lakes Basin, Ethiopia. The semi-distributed soil assessment tool hydrological model multiple regional outputs were used impacts components stream flow. Future scenarios developed under a representative concentration pathway (RCP 4.5 8.5) for 2040s (2021–2050) ...

Investigation of Plant Water Use in the Great Basin, NV by Benjamin Conrad Dr. Dale Devitt, Examination Committee Chair Professor of Soil and Water Science University of Nevada, Las Vegas Global climate change in addition to a growing population can have a strong impact on our natural resources. In particular, cities in the semi-arid and arid southwestern US are currently faced with the challen...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key component of the hydrologic cycle, accounting for ~70% of precipitation in the conterminous U.S. (CONUS), but it has been a challenge to predict accurately across different spatio-temporal scales. The increasing availability of remotely sensed data has led to significant advances in the frequency and spatial resolution of ET estimates, derived from energy balanc...

ABSTRACT: The requirements and basic components of a typical optimal control environment for water-supply pumping systems are presented and discussed. Examined model components include hydraulic network models, demand forecast models, and optimal control models. A review of existing optimal control methodologies for water-supply pumping systems is also provided. Examined methodologies are class...

The impact of aquaporin function on plant water balance is discussed. The significance of these proteins for root water uptake, water conductance in the xylem, including embolism refilling and the role of plant aquaporins in leaf physiology, is described. Emphasis is placed on certain aspects of water stress reactions and the correlation of aquaporins to abscisic acid as well as on the relation...
