Studying megaprojects from the micro-foundations rooted in organizational action and interaction, this research started with an extensive literature review and therefore proposed a conceptual model for governing government-project owner relationships. A cooperative game model was further developed based on the conceptual model and concession game t...

The accurate simulation and prediction of flood response in urbanized basins remains a great challenge due to the spatial and temporal heterogeneities in land surface properties. We hereby propose an integrated modelling approach that consists of a semi-distributed conceptual hydrological model and a novel parameterization strategy. The modelling a...

Given a changing environment, estimating a flood magnitude corresponding to a desired return period considering nonstationarity is crucial for hydrological engineering designs. Four nonstationary design methods, namely expected waiting time (EWT), expected number of exceedances (ENE), equivalent reliability (ER), and average design life level (ADLL...

With the increasing threat to water, energy, and food resources world-wide, it is highly imperative to manage these resources sustainably. This study develops an optimal crop area allocation model based on a novel nexus-sustainability index (NSI), integrating the water use, energy use (environmental dimension); land use, labour use (social dimensio...

Quantification of water-budget components is an essential step in the planning and management of water resources in any river basin. Recently several studies emphasized that climate change would inevitably affect terrestrial hydrology. This study applies distributed hydrological modeling using the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model to simul...

Due to the effects of global climate change on duration, frequency and number of drought events, the occurrence of prolonged droughts, referred to as “megadroughts” (lasting for two decades or longer) will become more probable in the future. Thus, it is crucial for countries especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world to develop appropria...

Quantifying excess energy using an energy balance model is the key to designing and operating an energy-efficient water distribution system (WDS). Excess energy, which can be recovered instantly or stored in a water-energy storage is the basis to estimate hydropower potential in the system. For a given WDS with its demand, how the excess energy can...

Water managers may modify many components of urban water systems to minimize water shortage. Since each modification activity has its own positive and negative effects, it is necessary to define an appropriate procedure to predict the consequences of each action. As the parameters of urban water supply and demand system have internal relationships ...

A challenging issue in optimal allocating water resources is uncertainty in parameters of a model. In this paper, a fuzzy multi-objective model was proposed to maximize the economic benefits of consumers and to optimize the allocation of surface and groundwater resources used for optimal cropping pattern. In the proposed model, three objective func...

A reliable understanding of propagation from meteorological to hydrological drought is necessary for accurate forecasting of hydrological droughts. Our current understanding of drought propagation is limited because the characteristics of each drought and the lag time between droughts are uneven due to spatial variability in underlying conditions a...
