More accurate forecasting of monthly rainfall is significantly important in drought forecasting in agriculture, irrigation schedule, water resources management, and crop pattern design. In this paper, ability of time series models in forecasting the rainfall according to the climate conditions is estimated. For this purpose, rainfall data of four different climates in Iran was selected. Using t...

China is facing a water resources crisis with growing concerns as to the reliable supply of water for agricultural, industrial and domestic needs. High inter-annual rainfall variability and increasing consumptive use across the country exacerbates the situation further and is a constraint on future development. For water sustainability, it is necessary to examine the differences in water demand...

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model along with Back Propagation Algorithm (BPA) has been applied in many fields, especially in hydrology and water resources management to simulate or forecast rainfall runoff process, discharge and water level time series, and other hydrological variables. Several researches have recently been focusing to compare the applicability of ANN model with other theor...

this research was conducted in order to study the effect of climate and geology factors on groundwater sources in mahvelat plain. in order to study the groundwater quality and quantity considering groundwater resources including wells and qanats; using groundwater surface, electric conduction (ec) and the total density solution (tds), the maps of groundwater surface fluctuation and quality para...

The paper demonstrates the application of a new water accounting plus (WA+) framework to produce information on depletion of water resources, storage change, and land and water productivity in the Indus basin. It shows how satellite-derived estimates of land use, rainfall, evaporation (E), transpiration (T ), interception (I ) and biomass production can be used in addition to measured basin out...

Most available water resources in the world are used for agricultural irrigation. Whilst this level of water use is expected to increase due to rising world population and land use, available water resources are expected to become limited due to climate change and uneven rainfall distribution. Recycled stormwater has the potential to be used as an alternative source of irrigation water and part...
