Background: The objectives of this study were to establish a swimming capability model for largemouth bass using the FishXing (version 3) program, and to determine the swimming speed and feasibility of fish passage through a waterway tunnel. This modeling aimed to replicate the waterway tunnel connecting the Andong and Imha Reservoirs in South Korea, where there is a concern that largemouth bas...

The paper gives a general description of the Danube waterway data management in Croatia. For this purpose, we initiated the development of a specialized geographic information system (GIS), the so called River IS, which provides efficient waterway related data management for the Croatian part of the Danube River. In addition, Croatian activities in the Pan-European Programme Consortium Operatio...

In regions with an extensive waterway network intermodal transport including inland navigation is a good alternative for unimodal road transport. Intermodal transport networks exhibit an increased complexity due to the inclusion of multiple transport modes, multiple decision makers and multiple types of load units. A discrete event simulation methodology is proposed to understand the network dy...

The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was calibrated for hydrology conditions in an agricultural watershed of Orestimba Creek, California, and applied to simulate fate and transport of two organophosphate pesticides chlorpyrifos and diazinon. The model showed capability in evaluating pesticide fate and transport processes in agricultural fields and instream network. Management-oriented sens...

AIS (Automatic Identification System) data provides valuable input parameters in ship traffic simulation models for risk analysis and the prevention of shipping accidents. This paper reports on the detailed analysis of AIS data for modeling purposes. This analysis is focused on restricted waterways to support inland waterway simulations, comparing the differences between a narrow waterway in th...
