The Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was implemented to determine annual sediment yields and critical source areas of erosion for the Buffalo River Watershed. Model calibrations were performed by comparing simulated streamflow discharge and sediment concentrations against measured values. Monte-Carlo simulations were performed to identify the most sensitive parameters and the “best-fit” parame...

This paper examines the effects of urbanization on the flood hazard in semi-arid/arid southern California using traditional hydrograph, frequency-magnitude and statistical analysis augmented with GIS-based variable parameterizations and visualizations. It was found that the peak flood discharges were significantly increased in urban watersheds in conjunction with increasing mean baseflow in the...

Cho), sm 1537-5110/$ – see front matter Published by doi:10.1016/j.biosystemseng.2009.01.012 The dynamic agricultural non-point source assessment tool (DANSAT) is a distributedparameter, physically based, and continuous-simulation model for simulating spatial and temporal impacts of best management practices (BMPs) on hydrology and water...

Competitiveness is divided into two broad categories named as macroeconomic and microeconomic competitiveness. Microeconomic competitiveness indicators have a direct impact on company productivity within which sate of cluster development is the most important pillar of microeconomic competitiveness that are introduced by Michael Porter and it's framework as Diamond Model. The Diamond reveals al...

An admission control algorithm for a multimedia server is responsible for determining if a new request can be accepted without violating the QoS requirements of the existing requests in the system. Most admission control algorithms treat every request uniformly and hence optimize the system performance by maximizing the number of admitted and served requests. In practice, requests might have di...

This study focuses on the differential hydrologic response of individual watersheds to climate warming within the Sierra Nevada mountain region of California. We describe climate warming models for 15 west-slope Sierra Nevada watersheds in California under unimpaired conditions using WEAP21, a weekly one-dimensional rainfall-runoff model. Incremental climate warming alternatives increase air te...

Watersheds represent spatially explicit areas within which terrestrial stressors can be quantified and linked to measures of aquatic ecosystem condition. We delineated thousands of Great Lakes watersheds using previously proven and new watershed delineation techniques. These were used to provide summaries for a variety of anthropogenic stressors within the Great Lakes. All delineation technique...

The aim of this study is to investigate the flood management and mitigation measures in ungauged NATURA protected watersheds. examined watersheds are located one most European significant areas (Prespa Natural Park North Greece). SCS-CN model was applied perform hydrological modeling for extreme rainfalls 50, 100 1000 return periods. Extensive field research conducted record all hydrotechnical ...
