On-site sanitation systems (OSS), such as pit latrines, are an important source of methane (CH4), with emissions increasing when they are wet, and this occurs when anaerobic conditions dominate. This paper presents the development of a model, which u...
The primary objective of this study was to examine the quality of volunteered geographic information (VGI) data for flood mapping of Hurricane Harvey. As a crowdsourcing platform, the U-Flood project mapped flooded streets in the Houston metro area....
Flood modelling is among the most challenging scientific task because it covers a wide area of complex physical phenomena associated with highly uncertain and non-linear processes where the development of physically interpretive solutions usually suf...
This paper presents potential upgrades to the Palm Jumeirah Island’s outer revetment to extend its design life for 50 years, considering the sea level rise (SLR) associated with climate change. The paper proposes several upgrade options to ensu...
Water quality degradation of freshwater bodies is a concern worldwide, particularly in Africa, where data are scarce and standard water quality monitoring is expensive. This study explored the use of remote sensing imagery and machine learning (ML) a...
In the context of climate change, this article tries to answer the question of whether a correlation exists between the precipitation and temperature series at a regional scale in Dobrogea, Romania. Six sets of time series are used for this aim, each...
Reservoir ice can have an important impact on the watershed scale and influence hydraulic operations. On the other hand, hydropower generation can also impact the ice regime. In this study, multi-source satellite and ERA5-land data are used to evalua...
The process of how soil moisture profiles evolve into the soil and reach the root zone could be estimated by solving the appropriate strong nonlinear Richards’ equation. The nonlinearity of the equation occurs because diffusivity D is generally...
Tracer testing is the only method in karst hydrogeology that can definitively determine whether a particular site belongs to a watershed of a particular karst spring. Therefore, it is an essential technique for delineating groundwater basins in karst...
To counter the impacts of climate change and urbanization, engineers have developed ingenious solutions to reduce flooding and capture stormwater contaminants through the use of Low Impact Developments (LIDs). The soil is generally considered to be c...
This study evaluates how the characteristics of daily rainfall and extreme events in Côte d’Ivoire changed during 1961–2015 using the rain gauge observation network of the National Meteorological Service (SODEXAM). The results indic...
Storm surges due to severe weather events threaten low-land littoral areas by increasing the risk of seawater inundation of coastal floodplains. In this paper, we present recent developments of a numerical modelling system for coastal inundation indu...
Peatlands provide vital ecosystem and carbon services, and Canada is home to a significant peatland carbon stock. Global climate warming trends are expected to lead to increased carbon release from peatlands, as a consequence of drought and wildfire....
Spatiotemporal variations in reference evapotranspiration (ETo) are sensitive to the meteorological data used in its estimation. The sensitivity of the ASCE standardized ETo equation to meteorological variables from GOES-PRWEB dataset was evaluated f...
Determining optimal exploitation from aquifers is always a major challenge, especially for aquifers facing a drop in their groundwater level. In aquifers with artificial recharge, more complex algorithms are required to determine the optimal exploita...
