A combined risk analysis approach for complex dam-levee systems

Castillo-Rodríguez, J.T.; Needham, J.T.; Morales Torres, Adrián; Escuder Bueno, Ignacio (Taylor & Francis, 2017)

[EN] In many areas of the world, dams and levees are built to reduce the likelihood of flooding. However, if they fail, the result can be catastrophic flooding beyond what would happen if they did not exist. Therefore, ...
A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of flood management measures based on the concept of retaining water in the landscape in different European hydro-climatic regions

Salazar Galán, Sergio Andrés; Francés, F.; Komma, J.; Blume, J.; Francke, T.; Bronstert, A.; Blöschl, G. (European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2012)

In this paper, we analyse the effectiveness of flood management measures based on the concept known as retaining water in the landscape . The investigated measures include afforestation, micro-ponds and small-reservoirs. ...
A comparative analysis of the forest fires phenomenon in Spain and Poland.

Tay Aragonés, Layla Ruby (2020-10-02)

[EN] Fires are one of the main causes of damage to the forests. Due to the number of fires that occur each year, and the extent of losses caused, in particular, by large-scale fires, they are increasingly recognized as ...
A comparative study of the influence of salt concentration on the performance of an osmotic membrane bioreactor and a sequencing batch reactor

Soler Cabezas, José Luis; Lujan Facundo, Maria Jose; Mendoza Roca, José Antonio; Vincent Vela, Maria Cinta; Pastor Alcañiz, Laura (John Wiley & Sons, 2018)

[EN] BACKGROUNDAn osmotic membrane bioreactor (OMBR) is a wastewater treatment technique that presents low energy requirements, low membrane fouling and high removal of nutrients and organic matter. However, reverse salt ...
A Comparative Study of Three-Dimensional Hydraulic Conductivity Upscaling at the MAcro-Dispersion Experiment (MADE) site, Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi (USA)

Li ., Liangping; Zhou ., Haiyan; Gómez-Hernández, J. Jaime (Elsevier, 2011-07-11)

Simple averaging, simple-Laplacian, Laplacian-with-skin, and non-uniform coarsening are the techniques investigated in this comparative study of three-dimensional hydraulic conductivity upscaling. The reference is a fine ...
A comparison of artificial neural networks and random forests to predict native fish species richness in Mediterranean rivers

Olaya Marín, Esther Julia; Martinez-Capel, Francisco; Vezza, Paolo (EDP Sciences, 2013)

[EN] Machine learning (ML) techniques have become important to support decision making in management and conservation of freshwater aquatic ecosystems. Given the large number of ML techniques and to improve the ...
A comparison of design storms for urban drainage system applications

Balbastre-Soldevila, Rosario; García-Bartual, Rafael; Andrés Doménech, Ignacio (MDPI AG, 2019)

[EN] The present research develops a systematic application of a selected family of 11 well-known design storms, all of them obtained from the same rainfall data sample. Some of them are fully consistent with the ...
A conceptual numerical model to simulate hydraulic head in aquifers that are hydraulically connected to surface water bodies

Pulido Velázquez, David; Sahuquillo Herráiz, Andrés; Andreu Álvarez, Joaquín (Wiley: 12 months, 2011-07)

In this paper, we present a conceptual-numerical model that can be deduced from a calibrated finite difference groundwater-flow model, which provides a parsimonious approach to simulate and analyze hydraulic heads and ...
A decision analysis framework for stakeholder involvement and learning in groundwater management

Karjalainen, T.P.; Rossi, P. M.; Ala-aho, P.; Eskelinen, R.; Reinikainen, K.; Klove, B.; Pulido-Velazquez, M.; Yang, H. (European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2013)

[EN] Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods are increasingly used to facilitate both rigorous analysis and stakeholder involvement in natural and water resource planning. Decision making in that context is often ...
A decision support system for water quality issues in the Manzanares River (Madrid, Spain)

Paredes Arquiola, Javier; Andreu Álvarez, Joaquín; Solera Solera, Abel (Elsevier, 2010)

The Manzanares River, located in Madrid (Spain), is the main water supplier of a highly populated region, and it also receives wastewater from the same area. The effluents of eight Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTPs) ...
