A large amount of accurate river cross-section data is indispensable for predicting river stages. However, the measured river cross-section data are usually sparse in the transverse direction at each cross-section as well as in the longitudinal direction along the river channel. This study presents three algorithms to resample the river cross-section data points in both the transverse and longi...

OBJECTIVES To examine nonylphenol (NP) and 4-t-octylphenol (OP) concentrations and general water quality indicators along a river in the greater Tokyo area and to specify the distribution and origin of alkylphenols. METHODS Water was sampled from the Edogawa River, a main river in the greater Tokyo area, which is a source of public drinking water; and the Sakagawa River system, a tributary of...

Monthly samples of fish from the intake screens of power stations at Oldbury and Berkeley in the inner Severn Estuary and Hinkley Point in the inner Bristol Channel, were used to analyse the community structures of the ichthyofauna in these regions. Marine species that use the estuary as a nursery area (marine estuarine-opportunists) were very abundant in the shallow inshore waters at Oldbury. ...

This book presents a method for hydrodynamic modelling of tidal power plants. In the face climate change, plants will play an important role in transition to renewable energy and decarbonisation society. Tidal is not dependent on weather conditions fully predictable, allowing accurate forecasts several years into future. Its main drawback that it limited areas with high ranges, such as Atlantic...

Abstract Freshwater ponds have long been an overlooked biodiversity store and changing types of land use the management practices has led to a steady decline in pond numbers. Establishing regional extent loss is first step identifying key areas for conservation action. This study calculated Severn Vale catchment UK since 1900. Identification location surrounding on historic contemporary maps en...

Karun River is the largest and most watery river in Iran. This river is the longest river which located just inside Iran and Ahvaz Metropolis drinking water supplied from Karun River as well (fa.alalam.ir). Karun River as the main source of water treatment plants in Ahvaz, like most surface waters affected by various contaminants which caused changes in water quality of the river (www.aww.co.ir...
