Abstract: In this paper, a bivariate-copula-based methodology is presented to assess the risk associated with hydroclimatic variability on groundwater levels in an unconfined aquifer at the Manjara basin in India. Rank correlation ...

Abstract: In this paper swarm intelligence based methodology is proposed for optimal and reliable design of irrigation channels. The input parameters involved in channel design are prone to uncertainty and the solution of deterministic ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the use of surrogate measures as potential substitutes for reliability in multiobjective design of water distribution networks (WDNs). Assessing WDN reliability with conventional hydraulic and ...

Abstract: In this study, multiscale characterization of hydroclimatic time series was performed using the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) approach. First, to investigate the possible teleconnections of monthly inflows into Hirakud ...

Abstract: Many water resources systems are characterized by multiple objectives. For multiobjective optimization, typically there can be no single optimal solution which can simultaneously satisfy all the goals, but rather a set of ...

Abstract: This paper presents an efficient and reliable swarm intelligence-based approach, namely elitist-mutated particle swarm optimization (EMPSO) technique, to derive reservoir operation policies for multipurpose reservoir ...
