dam reservoirs supplies water resources for drinking, agriculture, and industry almost in all parts of iran. lack of proper utilization rules and unbalanced demands versus available water has led to many problems regarding to ineffective use of the water resources. precipitation and flow rate are stochastic phenomena. therefore, multi-step processes related to the water use efficiency should be...

Water quality in tropical rivers is changing rapidly. The ongoing boom of dam construction for hydropower one the drivers this change. In particular, stratification reservoirs induces oxygen deficits their deep waters and warmer surface water temperatures, which often translate into altered thermal regimes downstream river systems, with cascading consequences entire aquatic ecosystem. Operation...

AbstractThe buildup of sediment deposits in reservoirs is a long-standing problem with serious consequences on the reservoirs’ functionality and ecology their river systems. In last two ...

Increasing demands for water, discharge of effluents, and variable rainfall have a negative impact on water quality in the Olifants River. Crocodile and fish mortalities attributed to pansteatitis, in Loskop Dam and downstream in the Kruger National Park (KNP), have highlighted the serious effects these impacts are having on aquatic ecosystems. Flag Boshielo Dam is a reservoir on the Olifants R...
