[1] The overall water balance and the sensitivity of watershed runoff to changes in climate are investigated using national databases of climate and streamflow for 1,337 watersheds in the U.S. We document that 1% changes in precipitation result in 1.5–2.5% changes in watershed runoff, depending upon the degree of buffering by storage processes and other factors. Unlike previous research, our ap...

The Cannonsvifle Reservoir watershed is a major component of the unfiltered New York City water suppiy system. The voluntary, incentive-based Watershed Agricultural Program is a collaborative effort among producers, federal, state, and local organizations to address the problem of phosphorus loading effects on water quality through implementation of whole-farm plans. The effectiveness of select...

Background: Kerala has become a success and model for the country, especially in increasing life expectancy as well reducing infant maternal mortalities. But there is wider demographic epidemiological transition happened, which lead to higher morbidity rates style diseases. Considering health basic need necessity, this scenario of unregulated healthcare market, it essential that along with publ...

Watershed segmentation of spectral images is typically achieved by first transforming the high-dimensional input data into a scalar boundary indicator map which is used to derive the watersheds. We propose to combine a Random Forest classifier with the watershed transform and introduce three novel methods to obtain scalar boundary indicator maps from class probability maps. We further introduce...

When developing a watershed plan, it is useful to consider how watersheds are configured. The term management unit is used to describe watersheds and their smaller segments. The two management units that will be focused upon in this handbook are the watershed and the subwatershed. A watershed can be defined as the land area that contributes runoff to a particular point along a waterway. A typic...

-Sensitive hydrologic interrelationships exist between watershed condition and the health of associated riparian areas in the southwestern USA. The impact of extensive unmanaged livestock grazing, wildfires, and past forest clearing, coupled with numerous small linear perturbations such as travelways, low standard roads, and livestock trails, has dramatically illustrated the interrelationship b...

Problem statement: Segmentation plays an important role in medical imaging. Segmentation of an image is the division or separation of the image into dissimilar regions of similar attribute. In this study we proposed a methodology that integrates clustering algorithm and marker controlled watershed segmentation algorithm for medical image segmentation. The use of the conservative watershed algor...

www.eymj.org Kung Sun Oh was born on October 4, 1878 in Gongju, South Chungcheong Province, Korea. His pen name Hae Gwan (海 觀) means “to see the world in humanity” (Fig. 1). Prior to the emergence of Western medicine in Korea, two Koreans had ventured off to learn the practice thereof in the US: Jaipil Soh (Philip Jaisohn in English, 1864–1951) and Jeomdong Kim (Esther Park in English, 1876–191...

Systematic consideration of uncertainty in data, model structure, and other factors is generally unaddressed in most Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) calculations. Our previous studies developed the Management Objectives Constrained Analysis of Uncertainty (MOCAU) approach as an uncertainty analysis technique specifically for watershed water quality models, based on a synthetic case. In this stu...

Image segmentation is the process of partitioning a digital image into multiple segments. Segmentation is fundamental step in analyzing and understanding an image. In this paper, different segmentation algorithms are implemented. Watershed transform is region based segmentation technique. It changes your image into another image whose catchment basins are the objects you want to identify. Where...
