Abstract. In the context of changing climate and increasing water demand, large-scale hydrological models are helpful for understanding projecting future resources across scales. Groundwater is a critical freshwater resource strongly controls river flow throughout year. It also essential ecosystems contributes to evapotranspiration, resulting in feedback. However, groundwater systems worldwide ...

This paper presents some simulation–optimization models for groundwater resources management. These models couple two of the most successful global optimization techniques inspired by swarm intelligence, namely particle swarm optimization (PSO) and ant colony optimization (ACO), with one of the most commonly used groundwater flow simulation code, MODFLOW. The coupled simulation–optimization mod...

Environmental modelling workflows are often tedious due to heterogeneity of data sources, types and formats. This paper discusses how a software framework based on Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards may facilitate the workflow steps and improve their flexibility by supporting data access, processing, and decision-making. The software framework is designed based on OGC standards, which c...

the present study aims to investigate the system of the visual transitivity by analyzing the images of american english file (2014) and cutting edge (2005) series based on halliday’s (1976) systemic functional linguistics and kress and van leuween’s (1997-2006) social semiotics. the system of visual transitivity refers to a type of process which determines how represented participants are label...

among abundant image denoising methods proposed so far, the use of patchbased algorithms have attracted a lot of attention from image processingcommunity. although these methods are very powerful in presentation of highquality results, the impact of human visual system (hvs) is ignored in sole of them.in this paper the human visual geometry is used in preparation of a new method forimage denois...

Farmers in regions experiencing water stress or drought conditions can struggle to balance their crop portfolios. Periods of low precipitation often lead to increased, unsustainable reliance on groundwatersupplied irrigation. As a result, regional water management agencies place limits on the amount of water which can be obtained from groundwater, requiring farmers to reduce acreage for more wa...
