Multiobjective Optimization of Wetlands for Attaining Flood, Water Quality and Bird Habitat Benefits

Creator:

Noa-Yarasca, Efrain

Abstract:

A significant number of historically existing wetlands that naturally stored rainwater and attenuated flood peaks have now been drained and employed as new farming areas. Beyond the water quality and flow problem, this has resulted in loss of natural habitats of diverse ecological species. Restoring wetlands have hence been proposed...

Assimilation of Multi-Sensor Data into Numerical Hydrodynamic Models of Inland Water Bodies

Creator:

Javaheri, Amir

Abstract:

Numerical models are effective tools for simulating complex physical processes such as hydrodynamic and water quality processes in aquatic systems. The accuracy of the model is dependent on multiple model parameters and variables that need to be calibrated and regularly updated to reproduce changing aquatic conditions accurately. Multi-sensor water temperature...

Stream Temperature Modeling for Marys River Watershed

Creator:

Mustafa, Mamoon

Abstract:

High water temperatures in rivers have detrimental effects on riverine water quality and ecology. In this study, two river temperature models, within the agricultural watershed model Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), were investigated for their ability to simulate water temperatures accurately throughout the year. The original temperature model within...
