land-use change affects a number natural processes such as soil erosion, sedimentation, flooding and destruction of soil physical and chemical properties. this change of ecosystem causes the degradation of soil quality which eventually leads to a severe decrease in soil fertility. therefore, various aspects of land-use change should be taken into account in national major decision makings. this...

Understanding how spring runoff is generated in East Siberia during the spring thaw is important to predicting river flows. To evaluate the snowmelt runoff generated, a simple runoff model was developed. The model involves processes of water and energy balance within the snowpack and energy balance within soil, snowmelt infiltration into the frozen ground, and surface runoff. The model reproduc...

Dissolved phosphorus (P) in runoff from surface-applied fertilizers can be relatively great, but commonly used, field or watershed-scale computer models often do not simulate direct transfer of fertilizer P to runoff. Using data from our own simulated rainfall experiments and published runoff studies, we developed a simplemodel to predict fertilizer P release during rain and the concentration o...

Rainfall, topography and soil characteristics are considered to control spatial redistribution of phosphorus in catchments. To advance this research, a hydrology model is needed to describe spatial variation of soil moisture dynamics and runoff source areas in multiple runoff events. This study examined whether the spatially distributed, topographically based rainfall-runoff model, TOPMODEL pro...

estimation of pure runoff is a house virtually is complex and different methods of calculation have been proposed. modern methods of solving problems in river engineering and water homes and assess the flow method is used, is that the artificial network pattern of human brain neural network training process, while implementation of the internal relationships between the data and discover for ot...

arid and semi-arid regions of the world are confronted with limited water resources. a large part of iran is arid and semi-arid and rainfall in arid and semi-arid regions is typically meager, irregular and highly variable. this irregularity affects the hydrological cycle and water resources. investigating the hydrology of the arid and semi arid regions is essential to know this environment and ...

water changes information in the hydrological system, in time and space, as an environmental issue takes heed of managers and decision makers in watershed management and river engineering, which can be addressed by using spatially distributed modeling. in this study simulation of water balance components in taleghan mountainous watershed is performed using the spatially distributed hydrological...
