The Chinese sturgeon, Acipenser sinensis, is an anadromous species that spawns in the Yangtze River and Pearl River of China. Its population has declined dramatically since the construction of the Gezhouba Dam (GD) in 1981 and then with the impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) upstream of the GD in 2003. This paper presents a quantitative method based on the instream flow incremental metho...

INTRODUCTION Bioecological aspects of anophelines (Diptera: Culicidae) near areas under the direct influence of the hydroelectric plant reservoir of Serra da Mesa in Goiás, Brazil, were analyzed. METHODS Samples were collected at the surrounding dam area during the phases before and after reservoir impoundment. The influence of climatic and environmental factors on the occurrence of Anopheles...

Reservoir-triggered seismicity has been observed near dams during construction, impoundment, and cyclic filling in many parts of the earth. In Turkey, number increased substantially over last decade, with Atatürk Dam being largest dam Turkey a total water capacity 48.7 billion m 3 . After construction dam, monitoring network improved. Considering earthquakes above long-term completeness magnitu...

* Email: [email protected]. Abstract – Spectrum matching is one approach to estimating water quality parameter concentrations (chlorophyll a, tripton and coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM)) from remotely sensed images of inland waters. The Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is a stochastic search technique that can be used to search the solution space for the closest match and deli...
