Under the background of global climate change, hydrological responses to climate change were investigated in Northeastern China. This study analyses the trends of annual and seasonal temperature, precipitation and streamflow series in Nenjiang River Basin. Correlations between streamflow and...

In order to evaluate the state of groundwater salination by seawater intrusion on the Lebanese coast, the region of Choueifat–Rmeyle, situated in the south of Mount-Lebanon, was chosen as a study zone. Overall, six wells were chosen and water sampling was done for three years starting from...

Reliability programming formulations offer a family ofexplicit stochastic models for planning the operationof complex water resources systems. These models usecumulative probability distributions of the sum ofinflows to characterize their variability in theplanning period. Applicability of these...

Many scholars have used different metrics to quantify power grid vulnerability in the literature, but how correlated these metrics are is an interesting topic. This paper defines vulnerability as the performance drop of a power grid under a disruptive event, and selects six frequently used...
