Lake Van in eastern Turkey has been subject to water level rise during the last decade and, consequently, the low-lying areas along the shore are inundated, giving problems to local administrators, governmental officials, irrigation activities and to people's property. Therefore, forecasting...

This paper presents a Takagi Sugeno (TS) fuzzy method for predicting future monthly water consumption values from three antecedent water consumption amounts, which are considered as independent variables. Mean square error (MSE) values for different model configurations are obtained, and the...

Understanding and forecasting water level fluctuations in Lake Michigan-Huron is important for a variety of water resource management operations such as flood control, local water supply management, shoreline maintenance, ecosystem sustainability, recreation, and economic development. In this...

The wave energy potential is directly proportional to the wave period and second power of wave height averaged over a suitable time period. The wave height and period have temporal and spatial stochastic variations. It is the main purpose of this paper to derive the most general wave energy...

An automated computer program isdeveloped for calculating areal average rainfall(AAR) value and its implementation is presentedfor the arid region representative country,Libya.The procedure is conceptually simple byconsideration of almost equilateral trianglesconnecting adjacent meteorological...

Depiction of precipitation change by elevation in an areaindicates the possibilities of orographic rainfall occurrencesin the mountainous regions. In general, precipitation increaseswith elevation but sometimes inverse cases occur locally due toorographic and meteorological features of the area....

Wadis are arid region drainage basins, mostly in the Quaternary depositions of different facies and grain size distributions depending on the paleogeologic environmental processes. Random and heterogeneous setup of the subsurface geological layer composition gives rather independent, haphazard...

In large metropolitan areas of the world the operation andmanagement programs for water supply reservoirs play adominant role in economic, social and cultural growth anddevelopment. An unprecedented population increase inaddition to intensive migration from rural areas add extrapressure on the...

Arid lands are in the need of additional water supply but water transportation from outside of the natural hydrological cycle causes the groundwater to rise within the urban areas. Additional water supply from surrounding areas or through the desalination plants provides comfort in domestic...
