Intermittent water supply has become a new challenge in many developing countries as water utilities are implementing stern water rationing to compensate the shortages. In these regions, provision of water is mainly through public utilities that lack capital to invest in water systems to achieve continuous water supply. The systems are financed thr...

Artificial neural networks (ANN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) with subtractive clustering (ANFIS-SC) and support vector machine models were used to determine total dissolved solids (TDS) of the Zayandehrood River in Iran. In total, nine hydrochemical parameters [Ca2+, SO42−, Na+, Cl−, EC, pH, HCO3−, Mg2+ and sodium adsorption rati...

The continuum fluctuations of river water quality and the metal contamination within the sediments of Netravati river basin were analysed using multivariate techniques and environmental indices. Water and sediment samples were collected from ten locations along the flow path of river in the basin and the hydrogeochemical features were investigated....

Depiction of terrestrial water flux constituents in respect of geospatial distribution and consecutive disparity are important for water resources assessment. Due to the excessive and indiscriminate withdrawal of groundwater (GW), the water table (WT) in Dhaka area is continuously depleting during the last few decades. The consequences of increasin...

Population growth and low average rainfall are main causes of drought and water-based problems in Iran. The present study assesses the level of resilience and coping capacity against water-based disasters, especially droughts on four villages of Harsin county in the semi-arid agricultural region of Kermanshah in west of Iran. The assessment of soci...

Temporal Conceptual Model can enhance the long-term management of contaminated Complex Sites. This type of contaminated land model is defined here as the sequential or combined representation over time of single time conceptual models (named here as Snapshot Conceptual Models) including contaminant evolution, most likely causes, eventual receptor c...

The City of Moreland is a densely populated urban area in Melbourne and has suffered from riverine and overland flooding during the past few years. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a flood vulnerability analysis in the region to determine the necessary measures for better flood risk management. A fuzzy rule based flood vulnerability index was ...

Rainwater harvesting is an encouraging instrument for augmenting surface and ground waters to overcome the inequality between water demand and supply, growing due to the rising need for water. This study offers an approach that can enable water managers to use the GIS to determine the most suitable location for rainwater harvesting by employing the...

Climate change is causing unpredictable fluctuation in the rainfall patterns and, frequent heavy rainfall that led to catastrophic flooding and a significant risk on Hare watershed biodiversity in the Rift Valley of Ethiopia. Prediction of flood frequency under changing climate in the Hare watershed has not been well-studied in spite of the risk it...
