The Indus Basin Irrigation System is characterized as a gravity surface irrigation system, with minimal on-line or off-line storage and limited distribution control. An important characteristic is the limited water availability. On field irrigation within the Indus Basin Irrigation System is almost entirely using surface irrigation and only very fe...

In recent years, surface water quality has decreased due to the increasing demand for water and increasing the use of fertilizers, pesticides and the discharge of domestic and municipal wastewater to surface water. The purpose of this research is a comparison of the efficiency of different time-series models in modeling and prediction of monthly wa...

This study estimates the price elasticity of the demand for water using a panel data model for 5570 Brazilian municipalities in the period 2011–2017. Given the country’s environmental and socioeconomic heterogeneity, regional demand elasticities are also estimated for each unit of the Federation. The results suggest demand for water is inelastic to...

The study area is located in the northern part of Ethiopia and covers an area of 279km2. The study area is one of the most water-stressed areas of Ethiopia, which is characterized by erratic nature with short period of rainy season that lasts from late June to early September. As a result surface water is limited, making groundwater the main source...

Coastal and estuarine area of West Bengal offshore in India enjoys the world’s largest mangrove food web named ‘Sundarbans’ declared as the World Heritage Site in 1989, which exhibits excellent breeding ground of uncountable fish and other marine species. Growing population has forced intensification of trawl netting by commercial fishermen all alo...

The paper-making process generates a large quantum of wastewater (ww); due to its squat biodegradability index, electro-coagulation (EC) method of treatment is gaining the significance as compared to biochemical and other conventional techniques. Electro-oxidation of anodes produces the coagulant, and eases the treatment with no external coagulant ...

Forthwith the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) by the Ethiopian government triggered a transboundary water conflict between Egypt and Ethiopia than ever. This paper aimed to offer the best coordination of these to sister countries on the Nile River water. In this analysis, we have well-thought-out geopolitical, demographic...

Multispectral and hyperspectral images captured by remote sensing satellites or airborne sensors contain abundant information that can be used to study and analyze objects of interest on the surface of earth and their properties. The potential of remotely sensed images for studying natural resources like water has been studied by researchers over t...

This papers forms the second part of series on application of artificial neural network (ANN) for optimal operation of a multi-purpose multi-reservoir system. Optimal operating policies of a reservoir system are derived using Discrete differential dynamic programming (DDDP)-based ANN model. In ANN model development a feed-forward network with delta...

In this study, the application and performance of three models, including artificial neural networks, HARTT model and time series models for predicting the groundwater level in Najafabad plain were evaluated. For this purpose, SPSS, MATLAB and HARTT software packages were used to construct and evaluate each of these methods. Different parameters we...
