The G-WADI network by UNESCO promotes the global capacity for management of water resources in arid and semi-arid areas.
The primary aim has been to build a comprehensive global network to promote regional and international cooperation so as to increase
knowledge and improve management practices through the sharing of information. The G-WADI objectives and achievements
of the past 10 years are reviewed. A number of key initiatives have been implemented––the formation of five regional networks,
the creation of a central G-WADI web site, promotion of near-real-time rainfall distribution software enhanced by the inclusion
of satellite based precipitation estimations, as well as workshop and web-based activities on chemical and isotopic tracers
and on rain water harvesting. Two workshops on surface and on groundwater modeling, supported by publications have been held
in India and China. The Asian G-WADI network remains very active, but activities in the other three regions are developing (Africa,
Arab Region, Latin America and the Caribbean). 相似文献

A reliable prediction of hydrologic models, among other things, requires a set of plausible parameters that correspond with physiographic properties of the basin. This study proposes a parameter estimation approach, which is based on extracting, through hydrograph diagnoses, information in the form of indices that carry intrinsic properties of a basin. This concept is demonstrated by introducing two indices that describe the shape of a streamflow hydrograph in an integrated manner. Nineteen mid‐size (223–4790 km2) perennial headwater basins with a long record of streamflow data were selected to evaluate the ability of these indices to capture basin response characteristics. An examination of the utility of the proposed indices in parameter estimation is conducted for a five‐parameter hydrologic model using data from the Leaf River, located in Fort Collins, Mississippi. It is shown that constraining the parameter estimation by selecting only those parameters that result in model output which maintains the indices as found in the historical data can improve the reliability of model predictions. These improvements were manifested in (a) improvement of the prediction of low and high flow, (b) improvement of the overall total biases, and (c) maintenance of the hydrograph's shape for both long‐term and short‐term predictions.

Regional flood frequency analysis (RFFA) was carried out on data for 55 hydrometric stations in Namak Lake basin, Iran, for the period 1992–2012. Flood discharge of specific return periods was computed based on the log Pearson Type III distribution, selected as the best regional distribution. Independent variables, including physiographic, meteorological, geological and land-use variables, were derived and, using three strategies – gamma test (GT), GT plus classification and expert opinion – the best input combination was selected. To select the best technique for regionalization, support vector regression (SVR), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), artificial neural network (ANN) and nonlinear regression (NLR) techniques were applied to predict peak flood discharge for 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50- and 100-year return periods. The GT + ANFIS and GT + SVR models gave better performance than the ANN and NLR models in the RFFA. The results of the input variable selection showed that the GT technique improved the model performance. 相似文献

Effects of contaminated soil with spent oil on germination, above ground height and biomass of six herbaceous plant species were investigated by conducting a general phytotoxicity test and growth inhibition assessment. Six local plant species were used in order to investigate plant’s ability to germinate and survive in a gradient of contaminated soil with spent oil. The species selected for this experiment include one species of Fabaceae (Medicago truncatular), four species of Gramineae (Bromous mermis, Secal seral, Triticum sativa and A gropyron deserterum) and one species of Linaceae (Linum ussitasimum). Inhibitory effect of contaminated soil on germination, height of young seedling and dry weight were measured. In this study an artificial soil with a light texture included 85% sand, 10% silt and 5% clay was used. The exposure to the contaminated soil carried out using four consecutive concentrations (25, 50, 75, 100 g/kg). Results obtained from the current investigation indicate that all species perform dose-dependent responses to the contaminated soils. Reduction in germination, above ground height and biomass for all species were significantly (P < 0.05) different when compared to their controls, however, Medicago truncatular performed the highest and Linum ussitatisimum the lowest inhibitory effect for germination, above ground height and dry weight of seedling. 相似文献

global ionosphere maps are generated on a daily basis at CODE using data from about 200 GPS/GLONASS sites of the IGS and other institutions. The vertical total electron content is modeled in a solargeomagnetic reference frame using a spherical harmonics expansion up to degree and order 15. The spherical Slepian basis is a set of bandlimited functions which have the majority of their energy concentrated by optimization inside an arbitrarily defined region, yet remain orthogonal within the spatial region of interest. Hence, they are suitable for decomposing the spherical harmonic models into the portions that have significant strength only in the selected areas. In this study, the converted spherical harmonics to the Slepian bases were updated by the terrestrial GPS observations by use of the least-squares estimation with weighted parameters for local ionospheric modeling. Validations show that the approach adopted in this study is highly capable of yielding reliable results. 相似文献

In August 2001, the worst flash flooding event of the Caspian Sea regions in over two centuries claimed over 300 lives after
a weekend of heavy rainfall and brought about a devastating disaster in the Mother-Soo catchment, province of Golestan, Iran.
As a result of this event, a series of site investigation were carried out to identify the pertinent factors that led to a
flood of this magnitude. This paper identifies the fundamental causes of the frequent floods and debris flow occurrence in
the area prone to flooding and analyzes the main runoff mechanism of these events. The maximum observed 24-h rainfall depths
and maximum peak discharges at the existing gauges were compared with the depths of rainfall and the peak values corresponding
to the August 2001 flood respectively. For the majority of the rain gauges, the rainfall depth exceeded those of historical
recorded events. In Golestan dam, an increase of 7.5 times the maximum value observed in the past 20 years was noted. The
flood height was 10–15 m while passing through the middle subcatchment area of Golestan National Park. The preliminary evaluation
indicates the existence of bare soil in the catchment, movable material, steep slopes, high rainfall intensity, deterioration
of pasture and forest land, and inappropriate agriculture and development practices as well as climate change were the main
factors for the occurrence and the extent of the August 2001 disaster. Finally, due to the likelihood of flooding and debris
flow events in future, some countermeasures are proposed. 相似文献

The metapelitic schists of the Golpayegan region can be divided into four groups based on their mineral assemblages: (1) garnet-chloritoid schists, (2) garnet schists, (3) garnet-staurolite schists, and (4) staurolite-kyanite schists. Paleozoic pelagic shales experienced progressive metamorphism and polymetamorphism from greenschist to amphibolite facies along the kyanite geotherm. Mylonitic granites are concentrated in the central part of the region more than in other areas, and formed during the dynamic metamorphic phase by activity on the NW-SE striking Varzaneh and Sfajerd faults. The presence of chloritoid in the metapelites demonstrates low-grade metamorphism in the greenschist facies. The textural and chemical zoning of garnets shows three stages of growth and syntectonic formation. With ongoing metamorphism, staurolite appeared, and the rocks reached amphibolite facies, but the degree of metamorphism did not increase past the kyanite zone. Thus, metamorphism of the pelitic sediments occurred at greenschist to lower amphibolite facies. Thermodynamic studies of these rocks indicate that the metapelites in the north Golpayegan region formed at 511?C618°C and 0.24?C4.1 kbar. 相似文献

This paper presents deformation analysis of Lake Urmia causeway (LUC) embankments in northwest Iran using observations from interferometry synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and finite element model (FEM) simulation. 58 SAR images including 10 ALOS, 30 Envisat and 18 TerraSAR-X are used to assess settlement of the embankments during 2003–2013. The interferometric dataset includes 140 differential interferograms which are processed using InSAR time series technique of small baseline subset approach. The results show a clear indication of large deformation on the embankments with peak amplitude of \(>\) 50 mm/year in 2003–2010, increasing to \(>\!\!80\) mm/year in 2012–2013 in the line of sight (LOS) direction from ground to the satellite. 2D decomposition of InSAR observations from Envisat and ALOS satellites that overlap in the years 2007–2010 shows that the rate of the vertical settlement and horizontal motion is not uniform along the embankments; Both eastern and western embankments show significant vertical motion, while horizontal motion plays a more significant role in eastern embankment than western embankment. The InSAR results are then used to simulate deformation using FEM at two cross-sections at the distance of 4 and 9 km from the most western edge of the LUC for which detailed stratigraphy data are available. Results suggest that consolidation due to dissipation of excess pore pressure in embankments can satisfactory predict settlement of the LUC embankments. Our numerical modeling indicates that nearly half of the consolidation since the construction time of the causeway 30 years ago has been done. 相似文献
