the management of sedimentation problems in rivers and reservoirs depend greatly on the sediment yield from the catchment land surface. in this research the effects of biological measures and ranges enclose on suspended load in two sub-catchments of kakhk experimentalwatershed in gonabad has been studied. this catchment contains both control and experimental sub-catchments. these sub-catchments...

Remote Sensing techniques with GIS were used to study the two sub-catchments of the upper catchment of Sukri River, Luni River basin. The measurement and analysis for the two sub-catchments were carried by using GIS for linear, areal and relief aspects. Both sub-catchments have low permeability, high surface run-off, and control of geologic structure. The morphometic analysis and measurements a...

amir kabir dam was built in varian strait, at 23 km north of karaj in 1961. the dam is multipurpose and its maim aims are the spring floods control, supplying potable water for tehran city, producing electricity and providing irrigation water. different pollutants which discharge to the river finally enter to the dam reservoir. determining the pollution loads of the dam sub-catchments can help ...

There is an ever increasing need to apply hydrological models to catchments where streamflow data are unavailable or to large geographical regions where calibration is not feasible. Estimation of model parameters from spatial physical data is the key issue in the development and application of hydrological models at various scales. To investigate the suitability of transferring the regression e...

Catchments are the first potential barrier to pathogen hazards in the water supply system. Reducing pathogen loads exported from catchments to drinking water reservoirs is thus an important priority in applying a risk-based approach to managing water supplies. Although predictive models are available to estimate sediment and nutrient loads, few models are available to predict either bacterial i...

The impact of acid deposition and tree harvesting on three lakes and their representative sub-catchments in the Muskoka-Haliburton region of south-central Ontario was assessed using a critical loads approach. As nitrogen dynamics in forest soils are complex and poorly understood, for simplicity and to allow comparison among lakes and their catchments, CLs (A) for both lakes and forest soils wer...

The dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition in river ecosystems could reflect the human impacts on the river ecosystem, and plays an important role in the carbon cycling process. We collected water and phytoplankton samples at 107 sites in the Dongjiang River in two seasons to assess the impact of the sub-catchments land use structure on the DOM composition. The results showed that (1) the f...

A physically-based, distributed-parameter hydrologic model was used to simulate a recent flood event in the city of Hafr Al Batin, Saudi Arabia to gain a better understanding of the runoff generation and spatial distribution of flooding. The city is located in a very arid catchment. Flooding of the city is influenced by the presence of three major tributaries that join the main channel in and a...

The continuous ecological management of the Loess Plateau is known throughout the world for two strategies: the integrated soil conservation project that began in the 1970s, and the “Grain for Green” project that began in the 1990s. Six sub-catchments nested in the Beiluo River basin were selected to investigate streamflow regime variations during the two project periods. The annual streamflow ...
