Reducing Vulnerability of Water Resources of Canadian Prairies to Potential Droughts and Possible Climatic Warming

Gan, Thian - In: Water Resources Management 14 (2000) 2, pp. 111-135

Past and the present studies show that the Canadian Prairies havebecome warmer and may have been drier in the last four to five decadesbut the drying trends are scattered and inconclusive.Statistical analysis shows that only the Winter and Fall (insome instances) precipitation is marginally...

Nested Hydrodynamic Modeling of a Coastal River Applying Dynamic-Coupling

Alarcon, V.; Johnson, D.; McAnally, W.; Zwaag, J.; Irby, D. - In: Water Resources Management 28 (2014) 10, pp. 3227-3240

This paper presents a nested hydrodynamic model of the Fish River, a tributary of the sub-estuary Weeks Bay located in Mobile Bay, Alabama. The Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) and a novel dynamic-coupling tool were used to link three EFDC hydrodynamic models corresponding to Mobile Bay,...

Gene-Expression Programming for the Development of a Stage-Discharge Curve of the Pahang River

Azamathulla, Hazi; Ghani, Aminuddin; Leow, Cheng; … - In: Water Resources Management 25 (2011) 11, pp. 2901-2916

This study presents Gene-Expression Programming (GEP), an extension of Genetic Programming (GP), as an alternative approach to modeling the stage-discharge relationship for the Pahang River. The results are compared to those obtained by more conventional methods, i.e., the stage rating curve...

Optimal Crop Water Allocation in Case of Drought Occurrence, Imposing Deficit Irrigation with Proportional Cutback Constraint

Homayounfar, Mehran; Lai, Sai; Zomorodian, Mehdi; … - In: Water Resources Management 28 (2014) 10, pp. 3207-3225

Optimal crop water allocation has become more challenging in drier areas of the world (short of rainfall) due to increased water scarcity and more frequent droughts. alternative cropping patterns, reallocation of water resources and modification of irrigation are some of the strategies used to...
