Assessing impacts of climate change on Lake Victoria Basin, Africa

The Nile River is mainly sourced by the Lake Victoria basin catchment. Potable water is vital in this region. Greenhouse gases induced climate change is believed to affect the water resources system leading to alteration in planning and management. Previous studies had been carried out in focus on the pollution, fisheries, wetland of the Lake Victoria basin, while limited research in view of the effects of climate change on hydrological regime. In view of the importance of water in that region, assessing the potential climate change impacts is necessary. Factors such as downscaling of climate scenarios obtain from general circulation models and climate scenarios should be taken into consideration

Simulation of undular bores evolution with damping

Propagation of undular bores with damping is considered in the framework of perturbed extended Korteweg-de Vries (peKdV) equation. Two types of damping terms for the peKdV equation, namely linear and Chezy frictional terms, which describe the turbulent boundary layers in the fluid flow are considered. Solving the peKdV equation numerically using the method of lines shows that under the influence of damping, the lead-ing solitary wave of the undular bores will split from the nonlinear wavetrain, propagates and behaves like an isolated solitary wave. The amplitude of the leading wave will remain the same for some times before it starts to decay again at a larger time. In general the amplitude of the leading wave and the mean level across the undular bore decreases due to the effect of damping

Análisis del desempeño del método polinómico y el método área-indice para estimar la curva de duración de caudales en cuencas no instrumentadas aplicado a la quebrada La Piñalera Departamento de Casanare, Colombia

Saneamiento de comunidadesEl método polinómico como el método de Área-Índice se introducen en este documento para elaborar curvas de duración de caudales sintéticas en lugares no instrumentados y estimar su incertidumbre para la cuenca la Quebrada La Piñalera en Casanare, Colombia. La diferencia entre estos dos métodos es que el método de Área-Índice solo utiliza área de drenaje para explicar la variación regional, mientras que el método polinómico utiliza precipitación media anual, altitud y área de drenaje.EspecializaciónEspecialista en Recursos Hídrico
