Testing a new channel routing component in JGrass-NewAge model
The paper presents two applications of the JGrass-NewAge model in order to investigate the influence of an explicit channel routing model on the discharge simulation. The semi-distributed, component based hydrological model ... -
GEOtop/OMS3 - model integration and case study
The paper presents the integration of the GEOtop model into the Object Modeling System version 3.0 (OMS3) and its application. GEOtop is a physically based spatially distributed rainfall-runoff model, performing water and ... -
Dynamic data integration and stochastic inversion of a two-dimensional confined aquifer
Much work has been done in developing and applying inverse methods to aquifer simulation problems. A new direct inversion method was proposed by Irsa and Zhang (2012) which proved that boundary condition is not required ... -
Defining an integrated interdisciplinary approach: I-WATER fellows address challenges confronting freshwater resources
Defining an integrated interdisciplinary approach: I-WATER fellows address challenges confronting freshwater resources -
Stochastic optimization of the geological sequestration of carbon dioxide
Geological sequestration has been identified as having potential to reduce increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂). However, a global impact will only be achieved if this technology is implemented on ... -
Water security under climate change - abstract
Abstract of award lecture "Water security under climate change" given by Vijay P. Singh, winner of the 2013 Hydrology Days Award. -
Plan for conversion of stormwater to groundwater recharge on the Utah Valley University main campus, Orem, Utah, A
At the present time the vast majority of the stormwater generated on the Main Campus of Utah Valley University is exported to Utah Lake, which is only 1.4 miles from campus. Although there is a large boulder-lined detention ... -
Application of the fuzzy theory in a reservoir operation model, to study the behavior of the regularized flow
This work concerns with the application of Fuzzy Theory in the hydrologic system as a reservoir, to evaluate its forecast capacity, in the calculation of the risk of collapse of systems composed by this type of body of ... -

Preliminary performance evaluation of the Penman-Monteith evapotranspiration equation in southeastern Colorado
Accurate estimation of crop evapotranspiration (ET) is important to know how much water is required during the growing season, to improve crop water management, to conserve soil and water resources and for water rights ... -
Mapping evapotranspiration with the remote sensing ET algorithms METRIC and SEBAL under advective and non-advective conditions: accuracy determination with weighing lysimeters
The Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) is one of several remote sensing-based crop evapotranspiration (ET) models. One advantage that SEBAL has is its minimal requirement for ground-based weather data. ... -
Remote sensing for evaluating crop water stress at field scale using infrared thermography: potential and limitations
Over the past few decades, the competition for freshwater resources has substantially increased in arid/semi-arid areas, exacerbating the pressure on the largest user of water, namely agriculture, to consume less water. ... -
Application of fuzzy set theory in the Saint Venant's equations to study the flood wave propagation in the Potengi river, Rio Grande do Norte - Brazil, through the calculation of the flow as membership functions, The
A mathematical model based on the equations of hydrodynamics combined with the fuzzy set theory was formulated, for the flood wave propagation in natural rivers. The model is able to evaluate the behavior of the control ... -
Web-service tool to generate crop rotation management input files for spatially distributed agroecosystem models, A
For water quality assessment, there are currently models available like the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), Agricultural Policy / Environmental eXtender (APEX) and the component-based AgroEcoSystem-Watershed (AgES-W). ... -
Physically based approach for the estimation of root-zone soil moisture from surface measurements: application on the AMMA database, A
In the present work, we present an application of a new formulation for the estimation of the soil moisture in the root zone based on the measured value of soil moisture at the surface. The method has been recently proposed ... -
Index to cottonwood establishment potential, An
The logic and an application of a program that calculates the potential for the establishment of cottonwood and other riparian tress along rivers in arid North America is the topic of this paper. Establishment of cottonwood ... -
Impact of climate change on wetland functions
Recently, there is a growing interest in the wetland management for biodiversity and preservation of ecosystem. One of the problems of the wetland management is climate change due to the global warming, and many studies ... -
Management of soil salinity and crop yield using conditional probability maps
Classifying irrigated fields into zones with different probabilities to reach a specific yield potential percentage (YP%) is imperative in the management of soil salinity and crop yield. Three nonlinear geostatistical ... -
Influence of spatial variation in precipitation on artificial neural network rainfall-runoff model
Modeling rainfall-runoff processes is a very challenging task due to data collection, time, money, and technology constraints. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are modeling tools that can quickly adapt and learn input-output ...
