the rectangular broad crested weirs are widely used to measure the water dischargewhich is one of the most popular tools in the irrigation canals particularly, in developingcountries.the present article is trying to demonstrate the results of an experimental work carriedout on rectangular broad crested weir with sloped upstream face to investigate the effect ofupstream slope on discharge effici...

Introduction: A stereo pair of HiRISE images of a pole-facing crater slope at 38S, 218E shows many fresh looking gullies. After measuring slopes using the stereo viewing geometry, we estimate the expected fluvial discharge rates using theory from Kleinhans [1] and Ikeda [2]. We also develop a numerical model of sediment transport based on theory presented in Kleinhans [1] to determine the time ...

We assess the water balance of the Brazilian Cerrado based on remotely sensed estimates of precipitation (TRMM), evapotranspiration (MOD16), and terrestrial water storage (GRACE) for the period from 2003 to 2010. Uncertainties for each remotely sensed data set were computed, the budget closure was evaluated using measured discharge data for the three largest river basins in the Cerrado, and the...

This paper presents a new, non-invasive means of quantifying groundwater discharge into marine waters using an eddy correlation approach. The method takes advantage of the fact that, in virtually all aquatic environments, the dominant mode of vertical transport near the sediment–water interface is turbulent mixing. The technique thus relies on measuring simultaneously the fluctuating vertical v...

Assessments of flow reduction in streams often focus on changes to biological communities and in-stream physical characteristics, with little consideration for changes in ecosystem functioning. It is unclear whether functional indicators of ecosystem condition may be useful for assessing the impacts of reduced discharge on small streams. Using weirs and diversions to reduce stream discharge dur...

Several optimal discharge pressure correlations for transcritical CO2 heat pump in literature have been discussed in this paper. Most of them are related to the ambient temperature, the evaporation temperature and the gas cooler outlet temperature. A revised optimal discharge pressure model as the function of ambient temperature and water outlet temperature is developed based on earlier experim...
