Statistical–Dynamical Approach for Streamflow Modeling at Malakal, Sudan, on the White Nile River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The upper White Nile Basin above Malakal, Sudan, is considered to be one of the most complicated and diverse hydrologic settings on Earth. Accurately depicting and predicting the streamflow at Malakal is essential for water ...
Economic Analysis of Large-Scale Upstream River Basin Development on the Blue Nile in Ethiopia Considering Transient Conditions, Climate Variability, and Climate Change
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The upper Blue Nile Basin in Ethiopia harbors considerable untapped potential for irrigation and large-scale hydropower development and expansion. Numerous water resources system models have been developed to evaluate these ...
Enhancing Season-Ahead Streamflow Forecasts with GCMs, Climate Indices, and Their Interactions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Streamflow forecasts play an important role in water resources operation and management, and skillful seasonal forecasts can significantly facilitate the decision-making process. Streamflow variability is often associated ...
Model Selection Based on Sectoral Application Scale for Increased Value of Hydroclimate-Prediction Information
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Advance predictions of seasonal precipitation may provide information to aid water resource management decisions in various sectors. Yet, a disconnect between the spatial scale upon which skillful predictions are issued ...
Sensitivity of Forecast Value in Multiobjective Reservoir Operation to Forecast Lead Time and Reservoir Characteristics
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Streamflow forecasts can be used to improve reservoir operation decision-making, yet the sensitivity of forecast value to forecast lead time and reservoir characteristics in multiobjective reservoir operations is rarely ...
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam: Source of Cooperation or Contention?
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ...
Integration and Evaluation of Forecast-Informed Multiobjective Reservoir Operations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Incorporating streamflow forecasts into reservoir operations can improve water resources management efficiency, yet the forecast value in multipurpose reservoir systems is rarely investigated, let alone the relationship ...
Ethiopia’s Grand Renaissance Dam: Implications for Downstream Riparian Countries
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ethiopia has begun seriously developing their significant hydropower potential by launching construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Blue Nile River to facilitate local and regional growth. The ...
Power of Screening Models for Developing Flexible Design Strategies in Hydropower Projects: Case Study of Ethiopia
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Long-term price changes in water resources benefits may greatly affect a project’s value, however the traditional approach to river basin planning has not been able to take full account of these uncertainties. Additionally, ...
Probability Games, Workshops, and the Social World of International Science Communication
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Probabilistic thinking underpins a wide range of scientific claims, but effectively communicating probabilistic information across audiences is challenging. In this article, we present a political–institutional approach ...
