Wavelet based flood forecasting models are known to perform better than conventional models, yet the effect of the way wavelet components are combined to develop a model on the forecasting performance, is inadequately investigated. To demonstrate this, two types of wavelet- adaptive neuro-fuzzy...

A modeling system was developed to evaluate the sustainability of water resources management strategies in the two major basins of Thessaly Region in Greece, namely the Pinios River and the Lake Karla basins. The intense and extensive agriculture of water demanding crops, such as cotton, and the...

The use of regional climate model (RCM) outputs has been getting due attention in most European River basins because of the availability of large number of the models and modelling institutes in the continent; and the relative robustness the models to represent local climate. This paper presents...

Land use and land cover (LULC) change within a watershed is recognized as an important factor affecting hydrological processes and water resources. Modeling the hydrological effects of land-use change is important not only for after-the-fact analyses, but also for understanding and predicting...

Intensified use of nitrogen based fertilizers in agriculture has resulted in a significant increases in soils and groundwater nitrate concentrations all over the world. Here we propose a new coupled model which describes the physical transport and biogeochemical dynamics of the water and...

<Para ID="Par1">The Walla Walla Basin, in Eastern Oregon and Washington, USA, faces challenges in sustaining an agricultural water supply while maintaining sufficient flow in the Walla Walla River for endangered fish populations. Minimum summer river flow of 0.71 m<Superscript>3</Superscript>/s is required, forcing irrigators to...</superscript></para>

This paper quantitatively assesses the economic implications of crediting carbon abatement from reduced deforestation for the emissions market in 2020 by linking a numerical equilibrium model of the global carbon market with a dynamic partial equilibrium model of the forestry sector. We find...

Every year between 2000 and 2010, our planet lost native forests roughly the size of Costa Rica. (FAO, 2010). This rapid deforestation has dramatically changed the chemical composition of the world's atmosphere, the level of biodiversity, and the presence of vegetation key to maintaining...
