The estimation and forecasting of the hydrologic data carry significance for many water resources engineering problems. Establishing sediment monitoring instruments on rivers is a costly operation. The methods available in literature for sediment concentration estimation are complicated, time consuming and necessitate cumbersome parameter estimation procedures. Artificial neural networks have b...

The methods available in the literature for sediment concentration estimation are complicated and time consuming and necessitate cumbersome parameter estimation procedures. In this study, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are used to forecast and estimate sediment concentration values. The forecasting results obtained using previously observed sediment values were close to the real ones. The se...

This is a study of the scientific component of an effort to restore an urban river by removing a low-head dam. The Secor Dam is owned by a local government entity near Toledo, Ohio. The proposed removal of the last structure impeding flow on the Ottawa River has broad appeal, but the owner is concerned about liability issues, particularly potential changes to the flood regime, the presence of c...

Accumulation of sediment transport volume and reduce the useful life of dams, water storage tanks can be. So far, many methods for calculating sediment this is presented in reservoirs are generally classified into two categories: mathematical modeling and experimental .This study examines the effect of using Gstars model parameters in the model, deposition of sediment in the reservoir tank and ...

In this data article, by using inductively coupled plasma optical spectrometry (ICP-OES), we aimed to (1) determine the concentration levels of As, Ag, Sr, Sn, Sb, and Mo in the sediments and the shells of Trachycardium lacunosum simultaneously in two separated areas (unpolluted and polluted areas) (2) comparison between the metal contents of sediments in the unpolluted and polluted areas as we...

Estimation of sediment transport load due to erosion in river basins is one of the issues which is indispensable for many projects related to water resources, soil and damps construction. With regards to the phenomenon of erosion and transmission Sedimentation in rivers has always led to deformation in the seaboard and sedimentation, so the management and planning in bank of rivers is important...

The need for accurate modeling of rainfall-runoff-sediment processes has grown rapidly in the past decades. This study investigates the efficiency of black-box models including Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average with eXogenous input (ARIMAX) models for forecasting the rainfall-runoff-sediment process. According to the complex behavior of the rainfall-ru...

Rivers sourced in the Himalayan mountain range carry some of the largest sediment loads on the planet, yet coarse gravel in these rivers vanishes within approximately 10-40 kilometres on entering the Ganga Plain (the part of the North Indian River Plain containing the Ganges River). Understanding the fate of gravel is important for forecasting the response of rivers to large influxes of sedimen...
