Groundwater recharge from rainstorms can be vital for regional water resources. With the expansion of the need for more water in some specific regions under global climate change, groundwater is being pumped at a far greater rate than it can be naturally replenished. Considering that excess rainstorms could be utilized for groundwater recharge to lessen the declining tendency of regional ground...

a prediction of maximum monthly rainfall is indispensable for management of agriculture and for management of water resources. previous studies have demonstrated that see surface temperatures affect rainfall in their surrounding regions. in this study the relationship between sea surface temperatures of persian gulf and that of red sea, and maximum monthly rainfalls recorded at illam meteorolog...

Rainfall and its associated storm water runoff have been associated with transport of many pollutants into beach water. Fecal material, from a variety of animals (humans, pets, livestock, and wildlife), can wash into beach water following rainfall and result in microbial contamination of the beach. Many locales around the world issue pre-emptive beach closures associated with rainfall. This stu...

Due to the high density of buildings and low quality of the drainage pipe network in the city, urban non-point source pollution has become a serious problem encountered worldwide. This study investigated and analyzed the characteristics of non-point source pollution in Baoding City. A simulation model for non-point source pollution was developed based on the Stormwater Management Model (SWMM), ...

The assessment of local and regional impacts of climate change often requires downscaling of general circulation model (GCM) projections from coarser GCM-scale to finer localor catchmentscale spatial resolution. This paper provides an assessment of two downscaling approaches for simulation of daily rainfall over Sydney, Australia. The two downscaling alternatives compared include a multivariate...

abstract atrak basin is an agricultural area in north khorasan province that the most farmers are using from groundwater resources for irrigation their crops. decreasing rainfall in recent years in this area, competition between urban, agriculture and industrial consumers has increased for water acquisition. in present study, game theory was applied for groundwater resources management of atrak...

For the past several years, Cyprus has been facing an unprecedented water crisis. Four options that have been considered to help resolve the problem of drought in Cyprus include imposing effective water use restrictions, implementing water-demand reduction programs, optimizing water supply systems, and developing sustainable alternative water source strategies. An important aspect of these init...
