Das Einzugsgebiet der Fulda - Untersuchung der Methoden der Hochwasserstatistik im Zeichen des Klimawandels
(2011-10-26)
Numerous studies have proven an effect of a probable climate change on the hydrosphere’s different subsystems. In the 21st century global and regional redistribution of water has to be expected and it is very likely that extreme weather phenomenon will occur more frequently. From a global view the flood situation will exacerbate. In contrast to these discoveries the classical approach of flood frequency analysis provides terms like “mean flood recurrence interval”. But for this analysis to be valid there is a need ...

Numerical Feasibility Study for Treated Wastewater Recharge as a Tool to Impede Saltwater Intrusion in the Coastal Aquifer of Gaza – Palestine
(2014-04-02)
The ongoing depletion of the coastal aquifer in the Gaza strip due to groundwater overexploitation has led to the process of seawater intrusion, which is continually becoming a serious problem in Gaza, as the seawater has further invaded into many sections along the coastal shoreline.
As a first step to get a hold on the problem, the artificial neural network (ANN)-model has been applied as a new approach and an attractive tool to study and predict groundwater levels without applying physically based hydrologic ...

Experimentelle und numerische Untersuchungen zur Dispersion von Dichteströmungen in einem stochastischen Modellaquifer
(2005-12-08)
Es ist bekannt, dass die Dichte eines gelösten Stoffes die Richtung und die Stärke seiner Bewegung im Untergrund entscheidend bestimmen kann. Eine Vielzahl von Untersuchungen hat gezeigt, dass die Verteilung der Durchlässigkeiten eines porösen Mediums diese Dichteffekte verstärken oder abmindern kann. Wie sich dieser gekoppelte Effekt auf die Vermischung zweier Fluide auswirkt, wurde in dieser Arbeit untersucht und dabei das experimentelle sowohl mit dem numerischen als auch mit dem analytischen Modell gekoppelt. Die ...

Application and Analysis of physical and data-driven stochastic hydrological Simulation-Optimization Methods for the optimal Management of Surface-Groundwater Resources Systems: Iranian Cases Studies
(2017-08-09)
Application of physical and data-driven stochastic hydrological simulation-optimization techniques is a major title in water resources planning for the prediction of future water-affecting events and conditions. Appropriate models and algorithms such as conceptual surface-groundwater models, artificial intelligence models (ANN), swarm intelligence and fuzzy logic have been developed and used in many research projects of conjunctive management of surface-groundwater resources in recent years. The use of these models ...
Dissertation
The prediction of seasonal and inter-annual climate variations and their impacts on the water resources in the eastern seaboard of Thailand
(2015-04-27)
The research of this thesis dissertation covers developments and applications of short-and long-term climate predictions. The short-term prediction emphasizes monthly and seasonal climate, i.e. forecasting from up to the next month over a season to up to a year or so. The long-term predictions pertain to the analysis of inter-annual- and decadal climate variations over the whole 21st century. These two climate prediction methods are validated and applied in the study area, namely, Khlong Yai (KY) water basin located ...

Experimental and numerical Investigations of Tracer- and Density- dependent Transport in highly stochastic heterogeneous porous Media and Evaluation of transverse Macrodispersion
(2017-11-27)
Experimentelle und numerische Untersuchungen der dichteabhängigen Strömung und des Transportes gelöster Stoffe in einem sandbepackten Labortank sind wichtig für das Verständnis des Prozesses der Erneuerung von Aquifer. Am Hydrauliklabor der Universität Kassel werden solche Experimente zur Analyse von Makrodispersionseffekte auf eine Frisch-Salzwasser-Grenzfläche innerhalb der heterogen gepackten Sandstruktur mit vorgegebenen stochastischen Eigenschaften in einem Plexiglastank mit den Maßen 9.8×0.1 × 1.225 m durchgeführt. ...
Dissertation
Climate Change Impact Assessment of Basin-scale Water Allocation and Management in the Karkheh River Basin, Iran
(2018-09-21)
Hydrological research is intended to improve our understanding of hydrologic processes, the role of hydrological systems in providing water for ecosystems and society, and of the water cycle in the functioning of the earth system. The proper understanding of the hydrology of arid and semi-arid regions is becoming increasingly important, due to diminishing projections of water resource availability in response to global environmental changes. The main objective of this thesis study is to investigate the development ...
