Interpolation tools are used daily in hydrology and climatology. With the purpose to regionalize spot´s registration parameters, such as depth of precipitation, temperature, humidity, among others. The accuracy of these methods is not fully validated. This research presents a comparative study between the most used interpolation methods for the regionalization of hydrological and climatological parameters.…

Climatic changes have a significant impact on many real life processes. Climacteric position of Albania makes precipitations and water inflows in HPP the main variables influencing the amount of electric energy produced in the country. Taking into account their volatility it has considerably increased the need of using hybrid models to improve the quality of…

Drought has become more common and severe in recent decades due to increased global changes in climatic conditions and anthropogenic activities thereby analyzing drought at both regional and local levels is crucial. And so, this study aims at assessing drought risk in Northern Nigeria using NDVI and SPI. Data used included satellite images (Landsat OLI-TIRS,…

The behavior of rivers’ hydrology and flow under changing climate has been an objective of interest for long time. In this study the impacts of climate change on streamflow of the Arkansas River will be investigated. The paper is an extension of work originally presented in ASET conference in Dubai. The Arkansas River is a…

This is a report describing the impact of calcination on the morphological and optical properties of nanoparticles Iron doped-nickel oxide. By synthetic precipitation, the technique makes use of it. Three samples have been calcined in different temperatures and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy…

The research will explore the challenges of using local water sources inside the city for a self-sufficient urban water supply by developed a system dynamics model. This study aims to evaluate and understand the Pesanggrahan River appropriateness as a raw drinking water source through a conceptual model that can accurately represent the interactions between the…

With the aim of preventing hydro-geological risks and overcoming the problems of current rain gauges, this paper proposes a low-complexity and cost-effective video rain gauge. In particular, in this paper the authors propose a new approach to rainfall classification based on image processing and video matching process employing convolutional neural networks (CNN). The system consists…

In many semi-arid countries in the world like Libya, drinking water supply is dependent on reservoirs water storage. Since the evaporation rate is very high in semi-arid countries, estimates and forecasts of reservoir evaporation rate can be useful in the management of major water source. Many researchers have been investigating the suitability of estimates evaporation…
