Different Methods Of Upper Awash River Basin

The Mississippi River is one of the world’s major river systems not only in size, but in habitat diversity as well. It is the third longest river in North America. It flows 2,350 miles from its source at Lake Itasca through the center of the United States to the Gulf of Mexico.

From the CER maps (Figure 9), it can be observed that in 2013 ISMR the entire region had witnessed high CER values while other years were partially cover by cloud drops of different radii. The high rainfall intensity during 2013 ISMR could be the manifestation of the high CER values observed during that year compared to the other years (Figure 12). However, the low CER values in the other years can be seen in conjugation with high aerosol loading during that period. Similar trend is also observed in LWP plots for the study area during 2012-15 ISMR (Fig 13). It is evident from the figure 9 that LWP varies from low to high values over the region while, it is more homogeneous in 2014 and 2015 ISMR. The OLR was considerably

Because the country is located directly in the path of the hurricane belt, winds and rain are stronger, bringing cooler temperatures and causing rainfall that varies from year to year with 53 inches in the east regions, 82 inches in the northeast, and 17 inches in the west. This is typical for this region, and cold temperatures are not at all experienced. Due to this particular type of climate, the country has more than 50 percent of agricultural land use, and 40 percent forest area.

Quito is the capital city from Ecuador where is considering a high elevation area with approximately 2800 meters above sea level in its elevation. Also, the city is located in the center of Andean Region and it is influenced by the equatorial line with latitudes nearest to 0 grades and being in a Tropical Region without seasons (Figure 1). Moreover, Quito doesn’t present stations, only the city shows two times considered like a dry and a wet season. The mean temperature during the year has a mean in minimum about 9.0°C and a maximum 25.4 °C20, also presented a high precipitation near to 1126 mm on 2015 that let to have a high density cloud every year.

In the 1930s, Saskatchewan faced numerous amounts of droughts and decided it was necessary to improve water security for agriculture, municipalities and industry. Lake Diefenbaker provided water to the province through canals and pipelines. Since the 1930s, southern Saskatchewan and the Moose Jaw-Regina Industrial Corridor have grown substantially. The demand for water is already coming close to meeting the capacity of the existing water supply infrastructure through the Upper Qu’Appelle. This limited water supply can be detrimental to both the economy and social growth. Studies have proved that the water use in the Qu’Appelle River Basin is going to increase in the near future. -

There are fifteen sub-tributaries in Brazos River basin watershed, the most important being Leon River, a tributary of the Little River. The most prevalent cities in the Brazos River basin are Lubbock, Graham, Waco, Temple, Belton, Bryan, college station, Abilene, Freeport and Galveston with the major metropolitan cities of Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and Houston lying just outside the watershed boundaries (Brazos river authority water school, 2011). The climate throughout Brazos River basin ranges from temperate to subtropical. The average annual temperature varies from 59oF in the upper parts to 70oF in the coastal area. Although winters are typically mild and brief, there have been temperatures below zero recorded in the past (Brazos river authority water school, 2011). Average discharge of the Brazos River is 8,387 ft³/s (237.5 m³/s) with rainfall averages from 16 inches annually in the northwest to 47 inches in the southeast region. The soil along the basin ranges from sandy loams to deep clay. Natural vegetation consists of grasses in the dry portions to hardwoods in the wet portions. Farming and ranching is possible in almost all areas in the basin. Cotton, cattle and oil have been the most prominent products (Brazos river authority water school, 2011). This research is focused on the central and lower Brazos river basin, from Palo Pinto County downwards to the Gulf of

The Atchafalaya River Basin is full of history. From the Choctaws, to the original Cajuns and even to its present day society, the Atchafalaya is not just a distributary of the Mississippi. More can be uncovered the deeper you dive into this river’s past, or in this case, its waters!

Climate change data was collected from the IPPC AR4 General Circulation Model (GCM). The GCM is regionally dependent and shows the different mixes of greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere. (Sheffield & Wood, 2007, p.81) The simple mutlicalar drought index (SPEI) is used to show the climatic water balance. Monthly or weekly difference physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) and precipitation and is calculated at different times. (Vicente-Serrano, Beguería, & López-Moreno, 2009, p. 1699) Streamflow data was obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey Hydrological Climate Date Network (HCDN). (Regonda, Rajagopalan, Clark, & Pitlick, 2004, p.374) Snowfall data is gathered from surveys that were performed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and precipitation data was gathered from the National Weather Service Cooperative Network. (Regonda, Rajagopalan, Clark, & Pitlick, 2004, p.375)

During the 90’s, Africa is one of the worst affected from water shortages. The rainfall in Africa comes in bursts; this means the water may not be collected because of how dry the land is. Therefore, Africa has had droughts that have affected the rainfall recently. As an outcome, Africa’s water supply is near scarcity, considering the facts stated.

The loss of freshwater comes from The Basin’s flow level it is dangerously reduced by extreme and persistent drought conditions. The hand of man makes these conditions much worse. The major upstream tributaries

Linzey was previously employed with the United States Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Washington, D.C as a Cartographer & International Affairs Programs Analyst. In addition to providing workshops to business and practitioners on developing an accurate Geospatial System, Eric was responsible for managing the development of the Puerto Rico and United States Virgin Islands Spatial Data/Mapping Infrastructure. He was responsible for developing and managing the Africa portfolio working in close collaboration with the counterparts at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), colleagues in Africa and Europe, and international organizations with common interest in Africa.

Amazon river basin comprises 40% of continental South America area, with a runoff contributing to nearly 15% of total runoff of all the rivers in the world. Despite this, it is known that some factors seems to be determinants to bacterial community composition (BCC), such as trophic status (Petrucio et al. 2005; Lind 2002), damming (Ruiz-González et al. 2013), pH, alkalinity and organic carbon content (Liu et al. 2013; Llirós et al. 2014), and others. It is known that all these factors change over a river flow, as the river continuum theory postulates (Vannote et al. 1980). In this sense, it should be important to comprehend how this change occurs over this large river. One of the most important and remaining questions about BCC from Amazon

Impact studies may be more critical at local scales, resulting in growing requirements of local impacts of climate change on hydrological and ecological systems by stakeholders in communities (Bennett, Werner, & Schnorbus, 2012; Chen, Brissette, Poulin, & Leconte, 2011). However, direct application of AOGCMs’ output has been impeded mainly by a coarse grid resolution. Therefore, downscaling techniques nested by AOGCMs or reanalysis data over a specific region have been developed to produce a higher resolution at regional scales. There are two main categories in downscaling techniques; Dynamical and statistical downscaling models (Ekström, Grose, & Whetton, 2015). This section addresses regional climate downscaling models that regionalize AOGCMs’ outputs with regard to dynamical and statistical downscaling methods.

The mapped area is in the equatorial climate region i.e it has two climate conditions, the rainy and dry seasons. The rainy season runs from April to September while the dry season runs from October through March. The temperature range of the area is between 25°C and 27°C.
