Abstract Energy modelling is the process of using mathematical models to develop abstractions and then seek insights into future energy systems. It can be an abstract academic activity. Or, it insert threads that influence our development. We argue therefore, provides policy support (EMoPS) should not only grounded in rigorous analytics, but also good governance principles. As, together with other actions, accountable. Almost all aspects society much its impact on environment are influenced...
This study determines the factors responsible for growth of transport sector CO2 emissions in 20 Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries during 1980–2005 period by decomposing into components associated with changes fuel mix (FM), modal shift economic growth, as well emission coefficients (EC) transportation energy intensity (EI). The key finding is that EI are principal driving considered. While increasing trend Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Peru Uruguay, effect Bolivia, Caribbean,...
The magnitude and frequency of hydrological events are expected to increase in coming years due climate change megacities Asia. Intensity–Duration–Frequency (IDF) curves represent essential means study effects on the performance drainage systems. Therefore, need for updating IDF comes from necessity gain better understanding effects. present paper explores an approach based spatial downscaling-temporal disaggregation method (DDM) develop future IDFs using stochastic weather generator, Long...
Pluvial flooding in urban regions is a natural hazard that has been rarely investigated. Here, we evaluate the utility of three radar (Stage IV, Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor or MRMS, and gauge-corrected MRMS GCMRM) quantitative precipitation estimates (QPEs) Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) hydrologic–hydraulic model to simulate pluvial during North American monsoon Phoenix. We focus on an catchment 2.38 km2 and, for four storms, set metrics using original QPEs ensemble 100 characterizing...
Adoption of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) as a sustainable measure to manage urban flooding has gained momentum globally. Modeling and analysis tools are available guide its design planning. However, the impact uncertainty in precipitation estimates, change land use on optimal configuration GSI not yet been assessed. The estimates influences amount cost GSI; forms, space availability existing drainage influence placement ideal types GSI. Further, climate conversion pervious...
Under climate change scenarios, many urban areas in Southeast Asia may become increasingly susceptible to localized flooding due greater rainfall extremes.This study focused on Rattanakosin Village, Thailand, a peri-urban area near Bangkok.Rainfall data from Don Mueang International Airport showed 2000 was similar the 30 y norm, 1980-2011, and therefore used as baseline against which scenarios were compared.PCSWMM, run at hourly increments with rainfall, suggested 11 nodes village would...
Optical Direct-to-Ground data links for earth-observation satellites will offer channel rates of several Gbps, together with low transmit powers and small terminal mass also rather ground receiver antennas. The avoidance any signal spectrum limitation issues might be the most important advantage versus classical RF-technology. effects optical atmospheric attenuation, fast fluctuations induced by index-of-refraction turbulence sporadic miss-pointing-fading, require use adaptive formats fading...
Water in Nepal is a key strategic natural resource, which has the potential to lead all round development and economic growth of country. Integrated Resource Management (IWRM) holistic management approach, integrating land water interaction, socio groups, upstream downstream relations, indigenous knowledge, institutions built up, along temporal dimensions based on an agreed set principles. It bottom-up decentralized approach for resources. IWRM challenge conventional practices, attitudes...
Abstract. The Columbia River Treaty (CRT) signed between the United States and Canada in 1961 is known as one of most successful transboundary water treaties. Under continued cooperation, both countries equitably share collective responsibilities reservoir operations flood control hydropower benefits from treaty dams. As balance key factor future cooperation could be challenged by external social environmental factors which were not originally anticipated or change preferences two actors. To...
