We analyzed 27 established and new simple therefore perhaps portable satellite phycocyanin pigment reflectance algorithms for estimating cyanobacterial values in a temperate 8.9 km2 reservoir southwest Ohio using coincident hyperspectral aircraft imagery dense water surface observations collected from 44 sites within 1 h of image acquisition. The were adapted to real Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI), synthetic WorldView-2, Sentinel-2, Landsat-8, MODIS Sentinel-3/MERIS/OLCI...
An integrated watershed hydrologic model, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was adopted in this study to simulate water quality conditions under current future land-use configurations. The findings were compared determine consequences of changes. Results indicate that as land use shifts from predominantly agricultural mixed rural residential lands, a reduction flow, sediments, nutrients is detected. Although projected average daily concentration phosphorus reduced by 47% scenario, it...
Hydrological responses vary spatially and temporally according to watershed characteristics. In this study, the hydrological models that we developed earlier for Little Miami River (LMR) Las Vegas Wash (LVW) watersheds in USA were used detailed sensitivity analyses. To compare relative sensitivities of parameters these two models, normalized root mean square error (NRMSE). By combining NRMSE index with flow duration curve analysis, derived an approach measure parameter under different...
The objective of this study is to examine the water quality impacts climate change in a predominantly agricultural, but rapidly urbanizing, watershed American Midwest, Little Miami River (LMR) watershed. Future climatic conditions were simulated based on various scenarios. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), long-term, continuous, watershed-scale hydrologic model, was used predict potential changes flow, total nitrogen, phosphorus, sediment loads. Results indicate that daily flow can vary...
Changes in climate and land cover are among the principal variables affecting watershed hydrology. This paper uses a cell-based model to examine hydrologic impacts of land-cover changes semi-arid Lower Virgin River (LVR) located upstream Lake Mead, Nevada, USA. The is developed by considering direct runoff based on Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number (SCS-CN) method surplus Thornthwaite water balance theory. After calibration validation, used predict LVR discharge under future changes....
Climate change, land-use and population growth are fundamental factors affecting future hydrologic conditions in streams, especially arid regions with scarce water resources. Located the southwest within Las Vegas Wash watershed, is one of fastest growing metropolitan areas country. In past 30 years, because climate changes, it has experienced a decrease clean supply but an increase demand. To alleviate some these problems, large amounts have been pumped into city from different sources,...
A cell-based model for the Las Vegas Wash Watershed in Clark County, Nevada, USA, was developed by combining Thornthwaite water balance and Soil Conservation Survey's Curve Number method with pixel-based computing technology. After validated, it used to predict 2030 2050 hydrologic conditions under future scenarios of climate land-use changes. The projections were based on Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) B1 scenario, derived from a CA-Markov model. Results indicate that these...
As watersheds are urbanized, the amount of impervious surfaces will be increased. such, water infiltration reduced, and volume surface runoff By retaining stormwater, best management practices (BMPs) used to mitigate hydrologic effects urbanization. Using Ludlow watershed in northern Kentucky as a case study, main objective this paper was identify most cost-effective arrangement BMPs reducing runoff. A simulation program employed model conditions under current future climate BMP arrangement....
Climate and land use affect water quantity quality; however, the complex relations of climate regarding flow instream nutrient levels have yet to be elucidated. This study aims assess hydrologic effects different land-use climatic regimes in Lower Great Miami River Basin. The modelling results from BASINS showed that, as expected, agricultural lands wettest scenario yielded highest amount streamflow, fecal coliform, loadings. But, it was dry (+2°C, -20% precipitation current average...
