Adapting Water Allocation to Irrigation Demands to Constraints in Water Availability Imposed by Climate ChangeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 29 - Trang 1413-1430 - 2014
Adriadna Chavez-Jimenez, Alfredo Granados, Luis Garrote, Francisco Martín-Carrasco
Climate change projections predict a rise in temperatures which may result in a reduction in water resource availability. Irrigation is both the most demanding water use and that which is the lowest priority. Consequently, adaptation measures regarding irrigation demands are required in coping with such a resource decrease. As improvement in water efficiency use could not be enough to counteract s...... hiện toàn bộ
Modeling Groundwater Quality Parameters Using Hybrid Neuro-Fuzzy MethodsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 33 - Trang 847-861 - 2018
Ozgur Kisi, Armin Azad, Hamed Kashi, Amir Saeedian, Seyed Ali Asghar Hashemi, Salar Ghorbani
In this study, the application of four evolutionary algorithms, continuous genetic algorithm (CGA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), ant colony optimization for continuous domains (ACOR), and differential evolution (DE) were considered for training and optimization of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to model groundwater quality variables. At first, using correlation and sensitivity...... hiện toàn bộ
Evolutionary Game Analysis of Tripartite Cooperation Strategy under Mixed Development Environment of Cascade Hydropower StationsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 34 - Trang 1951-1970 - 2020
Yun Chen, Zhigen Hu, Quan Liu, Shu Chen
Joint operation of cascade hydropower stations maximizes the utilization rate of water resources of a river basin and the benefit of the entire river system. However, under mixed development environment of cascade hydropower stations, i.e. simultaneous existence of operating and under-construction hydropower stations, the difficulty of the joint operation is increased. Moreover, this difficulty is...... hiện toàn bộ
Analysis of Effective Environmental Flow Release Strategies for Lake Urmia RestorationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 32 - Trang 3595-3609 - 2018
Ali Torabi Haghighi, Nasim Fazel, Ali Akbar Hekmatzadeh, Björn Klöve
Saline lakes have diminished considerably due to large-scale irrigation projects throughout the world. Environmental flow (EF) release from upstream reservoirs could help conserve and restore these lakes. However, experiences from regions lacking environmental legislation or with insufficient water resources management show that, despite EF allocation, farmers tend to use all available water for a...... hiện toàn bộ
Two-step dynamic programming approach for optimal irrigation water allocationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 187-204 - 1990
Guna N. Paudyal, Henry B. Manguerra
A two-step (deterministic and stochastic) dynamic programming approach has been introduced in this study to solve the complex problem of optimal water allocation in a run-of-the-river-type irrigation project. The complexity of a real-world situation is represented by incorporating in the optimization model the stochasticity of water supply and the nonlinearity of crop production functions. A nonli...... hiện toàn bộ
Modelling Shallow Groundwater Evaporation Rates from a Large Tank ExperimentSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 35 - Trang 3339-3354 - 2021

A large tank (1.4 m x 4.0 m x 1.3 m) filled with medium-coarse sand was employed to measure evaporation rates from shallow groundwater at controlled laboratory conditions, to determine drivers and mechanisms. To monitor the groundwater level drawdown 12 piezometers were installed in a semi regular grid and equipped with high precision water level, temperature, and electrical conductivity (EC) prob...... hiện toàn bộ
Estimation of Suspended Sediment Yield in Natural Rivers Using Machine-coded Linear Genetic ProgrammingSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 25 - Trang 691-704 - 2010
Aytac Guven, Özgür Kişi
Estimation of suspended sediment yield is subject to uncertainty and bias. Many methods have been developed for estimating sediment yield but they still lack accuracy and robustness. This paper investigates the use of a machine-coded linear genetic programming (LGP) in daily suspended sediment estimation. The accuracy of LGP is compared with those of the Gene-expression programming (GEP), which is...... hiện toàn bộ
Learning from Multiple Models Using Artificial Intelligence to Improve Model Prediction Accuracies: Application to River FlowsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 32 - Trang 4201-4215 - 2018
M. A. Ghorbani, R. Khatibi, V. Karimi, Zaher Mundher Yaseen, M. Zounemat-Kermani
An investigation is presented in this paper to study the performance of Artificial Intelligence running Multiple Models (AIMM) using time series of river flows. This is a modelling strategy, which is formed by first running two Artificial Intelligence (AI) models: Support Vector Machine (SVM) and its hybrid with the Fire-Fly Algorithm (FFA) and they both form supervised learning at Level 1.
