This study is an attempt to find best alternative method to estimate reference evapotranspiration (ETo) for the Nagarjuna Sagar Reservoir Project [NSRP], command area located at Andhra Pradesh, India. When input climatic parameters are insufficient to apply standard Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations Penman–Monteith (P–M) method. To identify the best alternative clima...

abstract one of the losses decrease's ways in fields, is the proper irrigation management, which its base is the accurate estimation of crop water requirement. equations which are used to calculate the reference evapotranspiration (eto), do not use the same climatic parameters and due to their empirical base, are not match to all climatic situations. so it is needed to clarify proper methods fo...

INTRODUCTION 4 This subject, Urban Wet-Weather Flows, was comprised of three basic subareas – combined-sewer 5 overflows (CSOs), sanitary-sewer overflows (SSOs), and stormwater discharges. Major proceedings 6 related to wet-weather flow (WWF) published during 2000 were the following: (1) ASCE EWRI 7 Conference – Bridging the Gap: Meeting the World’s Water and Environmental Resources Challenges ...

This study compares four different potential evapotranspiration equations according to Priestley Taylor, Kimberly Penman, Penman Monteith (FAO-56) and Hargreaves on a global basis to demonstrate their difference, and assess their impact on the calculation of stream flows. The various equations of potential evapotranspiration show great differences in magnitude. But due to the limited availabili...

Five methods (Thornthwaite, Hamon, Jensen-Haise, Turc, and Penman) for estimating potential evaporation for a reference surface (PEr) were compared to four methods (Priestley-Taylor, McNaughton-Black, Penman-Monteith, and ShuttleworthWallace) for estimating surface-dependent potential evaporation (PEs) using three cover types at each of seven locations from Fairbanks, Alaska, to San Juan, Puert...

This paper describes a method to duplicate the structural performance of a graphite-reinforced cementitious composite as the mix proportions and constituents of its cementitious matrix are varied. This is accomplished by placing a test specimen constructed using a modified mixture over a reinforcing scheme identical to that of a control standard and then matching the end deflection of these sam...

To estimate multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels, invariable step-size normalized least mean square (ISSNLMS) algorithm was applied to adaptive channel estimation (ACE). Since the MIMO channel is often described by sparse channel model due to broadband signal transmission, such sparsity can be exploited by adaptive sparse channel estimation (ASCE) methods using sparse ISS-NLMS algorit...

A comparative study is presented of the estimated wind load capacities of low-rise steel building frames based on loading patterns ~magnitude and distribution! established from aerodynamic databases on the one hand, and on patterns specified in the ASCE 7 Standard on the other. The estimated capacities are based on the assumption, verified by numerous sets of calculations, and also used in the ...
