Solar distillation is a low-maintenance and energy-saving way to turn salt water into potable water. The main problem with the desalination process is that the slow evaporation and condensation rate of the system produces a low output rate of fresh water. An external copper condenser (ECC), two...

Among all other natural resources, droughts are progressively affecting our communities because to their gradual and sustained evolution over several years. Droughts impact agriculture and result in catastrophic consequences. The present research sought to model the spatial variability and...

Floods are among the most catastrophic natural disasters because they endanger both lives and assets. The current investigation intends to create a mesoscale state wide flood risk mapping for the district of Chennai in Tamil Nadu, India, utilizing drone data and a GIS-MCDA model. The Chennai...

This work aims to develop and apply a mathematical model for heating in the water body of an open channel via the local imposition of a thermal load on the water’s surface. The study was supplemented with laboratory experiments. The mathematical simulation includes the processes of mass, temperature...

This article evaluates the performance of 20 models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) in simulating precipitation over China from 1981 to 2014, with a focus on interannual and seasonal variations. The evaluations results varying levels of performance among the models...

Hydraulic infiltration and decontamination performance of bioretention systems are influenced by plant species and planting layers. However, traditional evaluation methods are limited by their high subjectivity and inability to capture complex relationships among multidimensional data accurately...

In order to analyze the spatiotemporal change characteristics of regional flood disaster, analyze the main change characteristics and hydrological response of precipitation distribution in Guangxi, and improve the comprehensive utilization efficiency of water resources, this paper introduces the k...

Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is an inevitable tool for many applications, such as natural resource management. In the present scenario, it is available with various resolutions from meter to sub-meter accuracy. These data are used extensively to explore the river basin's physical features by...

Aim of the study is to examine the potential utilization of satellite precipitation data to estimate the peak discharges of flash floods in ungauged Mediterranean watersheds. Cumulative precipitation heights from local rain gauge and the GPM-IMERG were correlated in a scatter plot. The calculated...

The Mediterranean region is expected to present reduced availability of water resources due to climate change. This study aims to assess the potential hydrological responses to climate change in the Kastoria basin (Western Macedonia, Northern Greece) for the period 2019-2078. Climate projections...

The present study analyses the various uncertainties and nonstationarity in the streamflow projections of Subarnarekha river basin in Eastern India using two widely used hydrological climate models: 1) general circulation model (GCM), and 2) forcing climate change scenarios. These two climate models...

Two hydrological climate modelling techniques, general circulation model (GCM) and hypothetical climate change scenarios, were used to analyse the hydrological response to the anticipated climate change scenarios in the Subarnarekha river basin in Eastern India. Both models verified individually for...

Hydrological modeling of a watershed is necessary for water resources planning and management. The hydrology of upper Ribb watershed has been analyzed using spatially semi-distributed Soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model. This study aimed to determine the water balance components and its...

Isotope mass balance in lake systems is strongly correlated with several climatic factors such as temperature, evaporation, precipitation and air moisture. On the other hand, the sedimentary budget of lake basins driven by climate, tectonic and/or human impact is an essential pool of environmental...

This research work focuses on the analysis of the involved uncertainty and the corresponding reliability in the sizing of rainwater harvesting systems. For this reason, an uncertainty analysis was carried out, based on 23 years of historic daily record of a station in Kimolos Island (Aegean, Greece)...

For any river basin management, one needs tools to predict runoff at different time and spatial resolutions. Hydrological models are tools which account for the storage, flow of water and water balance in a watershed, which include exchanges of water and energy within the earth, atmosphere and...

Overland flow is highly affected by increasing urbanization, and variations in land use and climatic variables, especially in the last few decades. This necessitates the development of modeling approaches for planning and management of catchments that play a significant role on water supply. The...

Seawater intrusion has been a serious problem in the Indus River Estuary (IRE) for decades. The literature reviews, hydrological and meteorological observations were analyzed to examine and discuss the causes and consequences of seawater intrusion in the IRE. Both sea water intrusion and coastal...
