In recent years, it has become a common understanding among researchers that one of the significant agents for forming variety submarine geomorphologies is turbidity currents travel long distances, so-called long-runout currents. this study, we present mathematical model formation cyclic steps due to based on assumption highly concentrated layer near bottom achieves an equilibrium state. The us...

Development of new reservoirs are utmost important for their utilization of providing water for irrigation, hydropower and flood damages reduction etc. In-addition to constructing new reservoirs, the efficient and sustainable use of existing reservoirs is also important for rapid economic growth of world. Pakistan is blessed with rich surface water resources of 180 Billion m3 annualy. However, ...

Ecologists and economists have long talked past each other, but climate change presents similar threats to both groups. Water may serve as the best means of finding a common cause and building a new vision of ecological and economic sustainability, especially in the developing world.

The Hartbeespoort (HBP) Dam is a reservoir used for agricultural, domestic supply of raw potable water and recreational activities in South Africa's North-West Province. Eutrophication and cyanobacterial blooms have long been a cause of water-quality problems in this reservoir. The most prevalent bloom-forming species is Microcystis aeruginosa, often producing the toxin microcystin, a hepatotox...

rock has been advantageously employed in hydraulic structures such as rockfill dams, gabion weirs and drain works. one rockfill dam applications can be flood control in wa-tershed management. the objectives of building rockfill detention dams are flow storage for a specific period and lowering of the outflow hydrograph. as this type of dam consists of coarse particles, seepage flow will deviate...

In order to verify the cascade-system effect in benthic macroinvertebrate communities, and the implications for policy making and proposals for conservation and sustainable use of the lower portion of São Francisco river basin (Bahia State, Brazil), a three-reservoir cascade system including two stretches downstream were studied during dry (June, 1997) and rainy (March, 1998) periods. The domin...

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) is a widely used software application for performing one-dimensional and two-dimensional steady and unsteady flow river hydraulics calculations, sediment transport-mobile bed modeling, and water quality analysis. User’s of HEC-RAS have often unique applications including the coupling with other sof...
