    Hydrological assessment of some old dams in Saudi Arabia under the current climate, environmental conditions, and the use of the advanced technology

    Dams were built in Saudi Arabia (SA) starting from the late fifties. The rainfall record at that time is rather short since the early rainfall records in the study area were in the mid-sixties. Therefore, due ...

    Effect of reservoir models and climate change on flood analysis in arid regions

    Dams are built in arid regions across watersheds for flood control among other purposes. Capacity-elevation (C-E) curves are vital for reservoir routing and dam operation. Different models are available for re...
