Abstract: Nonstationary behavior of recent climate increases concerns among hydrologists about the currently used design rainfall estimates. Therefore, it is necessary to perform an analysis to confirm stationarity or detect ...

Abstract: In the short-term planning (7–14 days) and operation of complex irrigation systems, an estimate of irrigation water demand (IWD) is of a fundamental concern. To predict the IWD, a reliable estimate of the expected rainfall ...

Abstract: Computer simulation models are widely used for planning multiple reservoir water supply systems. These models are used to investigate different options such as water supply augmentation and to establish long-term operational ...

Abstract: Drought indexes (DIs) have commonly been used to quantify drought conditions around the world. Most DIs are developed for specific regions and, therefore, may not be directly applicable to other regions because of the ...

Abstract: Drought forecasting plays an important role in the planning and management of water resources systems, especially during dry climatic periods. In this study, a nonlinear aggregated drought index (NADI) was developed first ...

Abstract: The Western Treatment Plant (WTP) is one of the largest treatment plants in Australia treating more than 500 ML of sewage per day, discharging treated effluent to Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, Australia. The Port Phillip ...

Abstract: Storm-water pipe networks in Australia are designed to convey water from rainfall and surface runoff. They do not transport sewerage. Their structural deterioration is progressive with aging and will eventually cause pipe ...
