Catchment management is a process which increases the sustainable development and of all catchment resources in order to maximize balance among socioeconomic welfare sustainability vital ecosystems. The increase anthropogenic activities within river catchments causes degradation serious problems for stakeholders managers, particularly arid semi-arid regions. Although there are many techniques solving these problems, it not easy managers apply them. An integrated Bayesian network model...
Abstract Development plans are mainly responsible for population changes and the conversion of forest rangelands into agricultural lands human settlements. Qualitative quantitative analysis land use necessary to assess impacts change on hydrological processes. However, such important issues have been less considered worldwide particularly in developing countries. Therefore, we selected Shazand Watershed (1740 km 2 ) because rapid industrialization track effects streamflow sediment yield. The...
Abstract Predicting future land cover (LC) changes is an important step in the proper planning and management of watersheds. As a susceptible area to salinity desertification, receiving only about 195 mm rainfall annually, Hable‐Rud River basin especially sensitive use/cover changes. Based on corrected LANDSAT satellite images for years 1986, 2000, 2017, LC were extracted using maximum likelihood (ML) method. predicted by applying change modeler (LCM) basin. The kappa index classification...
Risk assessment provides the possibility of planning and management to prevent reduce risk desertification. The present study is aimed assess hazard desertification develop programs in semi-arid western regions Golestan Province Iran. Desertification rate was obtained using Iranian model potential assessment. Since rating system considered for indicators, data analyses were carried out according Mann-Whitney test. calculated based on hazard, elements at vulnerability maps. intensity...
ABSTRACT One of the most important stages in climate‐change‐impact studies is uncertainty analysis, due to its great effect on both predictions and decision‐making. This study presents a procedure that characterizes changes climatic variables for period 2011–2040 under representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios then quantifies linked with downscaling process using bootstrapping method at 95% confidence intervals one vulnerable basins, “Karaj‐Jajrud” located South Alborz Range,...
Abstract This study aims to present a process for hydrological model exploration selecting an appropriate compatible with the modeling objectives. The consists of three stages: (1) initial choice based on objectives; (2) selection intercomparison among underlying conceptualizations models; and (3) final influencing criteria such as availability software documentation, data. As applied example, was used find project evaluate water supply demand under climate land use change scenarios in...
Abstract Analysis of the trend climatic records is necessary for better climate modelling and subsequently adopting effective planning management strategies. In this research, Southern Alborz Range, Iran was selected to analyse trends stationarity hydro‐climatic time series. The Mann–Kendall (M‐K) classic test considered identify monotonic trend, while free pre‐whitening approach applied eliminating serial correlation from Meanwhile, series tested by Kwiatkowski–Phillips–Schmidt–Shin (KPSS)...
Abstract In the past few decades, considerable efforts have been made to model rainfall‐runoff and predict hydrological impacts of various factors using computer technology. The Environmental Protection Agency Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) has proved be a powerful tool which simulates flow watersheds with different characteristics. SWMM is dynamic simulation used for single event and/or continuous runoff simulation. It widely throughout world analysis, planning, design related storm...
Abstract Analyzing land use/land cover change is a fundamental tool for evaluating the environmental consequences of human activities. This research was conducted to detect and predict likely use changes in Gorganrud River basin, Iran, estimate past future population growth as driving force degradation. First, maps 1999, 2009, 2017 were prepared. Then, 2030 2040 predicted using Land Change Modeler (LCM) TERRSET software. Results indicate that percentage agricultural residential areas, bare...
Issues of scale pervade every aspect socio-environmental systems (SES) modeling. They can stem from the context both modeling process, and purpose integrated model. A webinar hosted by National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC), The Integrated Assessment Society (TIAS) journal Systems Modelling (SESMO) explored how model stakeholders address issues scale. Four key considerations were raised: (1) being aware our influence on pathway, developing a shared language to overcome...
