[1] A terrestrial ecosystem model (integrated biosphere simulator (IBIS)) and a hydrological routing algorithm (HYDRA) are used in conjunction with long time series climate data to simulate the river discharge and flooded area of the Amazon/ Tocantins River basin over the last 60 years. Evaluating the results of this modeling exercise over the entire basin yields three major results: (1) Observ...

Ammonium (NH4 ), nitrate+nitrite (NOx), dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) and dissolved organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus (DOC, DON and DOP) were measured in the Altamaha River and several tributaries during a two year period from September 2000 through September 2002. Temporal variations in concentration as well as nutrient and dissolved organic matter loading from the Altamaha to the...

The Amur River is one of the largest rivers of the world. Its length is 4350 km and its total discharge is about 390 km from a river basin of 1,855,000 km. The regime of the Amur River is distinguished by the spring–summer flood, summer low water, summer– fall flood, and winter low water. The spring flood is caused by melting snow and the summer–fall flood is caused by monsoon rains in the rive...

This study quantifies the regional distribution of the micropollutant benzothiazole (BT) in river water by sampling 15 river sites in the Schwarzbach watershed (about 400 km(2)) from November 2008 to February 2010. Additionally, wastewater samples from three municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Germany were analyzed. BT was detected in all wastewater influent and effluent samples as...

[1] Semi-arid southern California relies heavily on imported water for domestic use. A synthesis of river discharge data in this region reveals that summer (June, July, and August) river discharge in watersheds that have at least 50% urban, suburban, and/or commercial land cover has increased by 250% or more over the past half-century, without any substantial precipitation during these months. ...

In this paper river stage discharge models using Adaptive NeuroFuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Linear Multiple Regression (MLR) methods have been developed. This paper also investigates the best model to forecast river discharge. From the literature it is clear that ANN models and Fuzzy logic models are quite applicable on river stage discharge modelling. Hence this present study carried out...

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) makes hourly measurements of river discharge every day at thousands of stream-gauge stations across the United States. Regular patterns of diurnal variation have been observed in hundreds of these rivers, many of which are primary water sources for cities, industries, and agriculture. Diurnal cycles are evident in many river records (Figure 1, Merced R...

Coastal and terrestrial impact of the isostatically forced Late Quarternary drainage divide shift, Penobscot and Kennebec Rivers, Maine, USA. Journal of Coastal Research, 27(6), 1085–1093. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Marine features associated with Late Quaternary isostatic adjustment are well documented in central...

In the majority of lumped water balance models of river basins, groundwater is represented by a single reservoir, and groundwater discharge is described by a singlevalued function of storage in the reservoir. It is demonstrated that single-valued storagedischarge functions are often incapable of representing the actual storage-discharge characteristics of a river basin. An alternative discharge...

prediction the river flow discharge values are important in the surface water resources management. find an appropriate model to accurately predictionof this parameter is one of the most important ways to simulation and prediction. in this study three anfis, svm and gp models were evaluated and compared to modeling the monthly flow discharge of nazloochi river in tapik hydrometric station that ...
