Abstract One of the UN agenda 2030 Sustainable Development goals is associated with water availability and its sustainable management. The present study intends to improve multipurpose reservoir management under climate change scenarios in scarce regions such as Mediterranean. Implemented methods include sequential use model results, hydrological modelling, balance simulation, which are used estimate future availability. This work focuses on developing an innovative approach based rule...
Abstract This study investigates the impact of a submerged trapezoidal broad-crested (TBC) weir on local scouring around uniform single circular bridge pier under clear-water flow conditions. The TBC was installed downstream pier, and its effectiveness evaluated based variations in separation distance height. results indicated that presence significantly reduced scour depth altered geometry hole. most pronounced when between minimal. Three different heights were analyzed to determine optimal...
Abstract. Application of crop residues (mulch) over the soil surface is a common practice to control erosion and promote infiltration. This laboratory study aimed at investigating effect different rice straw mulch sizes on runoff sediment transport. The experimental runs were conducted using flume adjustable slope rainfall simulator, considering bare three covers: 1, 2 5 t ha−1 application rates, for (10, 30 200 mm). results showed that same rate (by weight), smaller (i.e. high coverage...
Abstract The role of stony soils in runoff response mountain catchments is rarely studied. We have compared simulated with measured catchment for events caused by rains small and high intensities the Jalovecký Creek, Slovakia. soil water was three sites stoniness 10–65% using Hydrus-2D single porosity model. Soil hydraulic parameters employed modelling, i. e. saturated conductivity retention curves, were obtained two approaches, namely Representative Elementary Volume approach (REVa) inverse...
A one-dimensional numerical overland flow model based on the cascade plane theory was de-veloped to estimate rainfall-induced runoff and soil erosion converging diverging surfaces. The includes three components: (i) infiltration using Horton’s equation, (ii) kinematic wave approximation of Saint-Venant shallow water equations for a planes, (iii) sediment transport continuity equation. model’s performance evaluated by comparing results with laboratory data from experiments rainfall simulator...

The project CLIM2POWER aims at developing a climate service including state-of-the art seasonal forecasts in the planning of operation power systems. This work presents part project, addressing forecasting hydropower generation case study area, Portuguese transboundary Douro River basin. Rainfall-runoff modelling was performed on daily scale using three ensemble members data (six months) for territory crossed with inflow scenarios from Spanish defined according to historical observed data....
Planning the vegetation restoration of badlands requires an understanding mechanisms associated with seed transport due to runoff and soil erosion. This is particularly important in semiarid environments, such as those found Pernambuco, Northeast Brazil, where rainfall mostly occurs form intense short-term events a high potential trigger strong erosion processes. The aim this laboratory study was evaluate effect morphology, surface slope, cover conditions, characteristics on moringa (Moringa...
Pakistan is facing an epidemic of dengue fever amidst COVID-19 outbreak which a serious public health concern. This article provides overview factors that could have led to unexpectedly higher number Dengue cases in this year, such as, insufficient preventive measures control at the national and domestic level, lack surveillance system for spread disease, awareness among general population regarding possible disease. situation has challenged overburdened healthcare developing country, was...
