This study evaluated the best management practices on how to manage soil losses from catchment and reduce sediment load into a dam reservoir. aimed evaluate relationship of runoff, loss, yield with practice (BMP) scenarios in GeoWEPP environment for selected three micro-watersheds (hot spot areas) Megech watershed, upper Blue Nile Basin. The impacts four agricultural BMP scenarios, including fo...

Traditionally watersheds were spatial extents that capture rainwater. Recently it has been identified that unless the watersheds are not managed in an integrated sustainable manner, then not only the water resources but also other resources such as vegetation, fertile soil, fauna and flora get depleted. Rational management of upper and lower parts of a watershed is equally important for the sus...

This paper focuses the quantitative evaluation of non point sources of pollution by graphical maps of watershed and estimating area based load of pollutants of various land uses with the use of Arc/View Geographic Information System. The representative study is carried out in the Xinshan sub-watershed of Taihu watershed. It involves the simulation of pollutants load by watershed; watershed area...

Hydrologic and water quality models are often used in assessing the response of environmental processes to human activities climatic change. However, these differ terms their complexity, requirements, underlying equations, assumptions, as such performance simulating landscape varies. Consequently, a key question that has be addressed is select most suitable model gives results closest reality f...

We used more than thirty years of water quality monitoring data collected by the United States Geological Survey at several stations in the Altamaha River and its tributaries to examine the relationship between population density, agricultural land use, and nutrient export from the watershed. Population densities in the Altamaha River watershed increased during the study period, most notably in...

1. INTRODUCTION As watershed models become increasingly sophisticated and useful, there is a need to extend their applicability to locations where they cannot be calibrated or validated. It is only natural that as watershed models, computer technology and hydrometeorologic data sources continue to evolve, there will be an ever increasing need to apply watershed models where streamflow data is u...

The Three Gorge Project (TGP) of China necessitates the resettlement of over 1 million population (mostly farmers) to more rugged and isolated areas than their original settlements. Soil erosion is a serious environmental and production problem in this area. To decrease the risk on environmental impacts, there is an increasing demand for sound, and readily applicable techniques for soil conserv...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Watershed strokes are more prevalent after cardiac surgery than in other stroke populations, but their mechanism in this setting is not understood. We investigated the role of intraoperative blood pressure in the development of watershed strokes and used MRI to evaluate diagnosis and outcomes associated with this stroke subtype. METHODS From 1998 to 2003 we studied 98 p...
