Design and realization of monitoring system for measuring air temperature and humidity, wind direction and speed

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2006
An air humidity sensor based on the capacity principle and programmable digital air temperature sensors are designed in the work. The wind direction and wind speed sensor (anemometer) is based on the optoelectronic principle.

Developing a geomorphological instantaneous unit hydrograph (GIUH) using equivalent Horton-Strahler ratios for flash flood predictions in arid regions

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2020
The Horton-Strahler ratios are important to describe the stream network and to identify the hydrologic response of a basin using the GIUH concept. These ratios are often sensitive to the selected threshold area for the extraction of the stream network ...

Perspectives of Hydrologic Modeling in Agricultural Research

open access: yes, 2021
For decades agricultural research was done in the field or laboratories, but with the rise of computer science, hydrologic modeling became another essential tool for environmental impact studies. Many types of models can be used, each with its strengths and weaknesses in terms of accuracy, speed, and amount of input data needed.

Seasonal surface drainage of sloping farmland : a review of its hydrogeomorphic impacts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The combination of runoff-generating areas (saturated soils) and overland flow concentration in features such as drainage ditches makes sloping farmland vulnerable to soil erosion.

California's Central Valley Groundwater Wells Run Dry During Recent Drought

open access: yesEarth's Future, 2020
Declining water tables are causing wells to run dry in California, but the prevalence and spatial distribution of wells that have run dry are not known beyond anecdotal and voluntary reports. Here, we apply a new, simple, and measurement‐driven method to

Identification and Evaluation of Potential Floodplain Areas Using the Floodplain Evaluation Matrix - Romanian Case Study. [PDF]

open access: yesAerul şi Apa: Componente ale Mediului, 2021
A large number of floodplains got lost due to settlements, infrastructure and agriculture. The reconnection of floodplains plays a significant role considering water retention potential and other aspects such as biodiversity conservation, improvement of ...

Using the soil and water assessment tool to simulate the pesticide dynamics in the data scarce Guayas River Basin, Ecuador [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Agricultural intensification has stimulated the economy in the Guayas River basin in Ecuador, but also affected several ecosystems. The increased use of pesticides poses a serious threat to the freshwater ecosystem, which urgently calls for an improved ...

Impacts of Climate Change on Agriculture and Adaptive Strategies in China

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2013
China is the world's most populous country and a major emitter of greenhouse gases. Consequently, China's role in climate change has received a great deal of attention, whereas the impact of climate change on China has been largely ignored.

Effect of Biochar Application and Re-Application on Soil Bulk Density, Porosity, Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity, Water Content and Soil Water Availability in a Silty Loam Haplic Luvisol

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
Due to climate change the productive agricultural sectors have started to face various challenges, such as soil drought. Biochar is studied as a promising soil amendment. We studied the effect of a former biochar application (in 2014) and re-application (
