Open AccessEffects of sediment flushing operations versus natural floods on Chinook salmon survival
Flushing is a common measure to manage and reduce the amount of sediment stored in reservoirs. However, the sudden release of large volumes of sediment abruptly increases the suspended solids concentration and...

Open AccessSediment replenishment combined with an artificial flood improves river habitats downstream of a dam
River reaches downstream dams where a constant residual flow discharge is imposed, often lack sediment supply and periodic inundation due to the absence of natural flood events. In this study, a two-year retur...

Simulated Annealing in Optimization of Energy Production in a Water Supply Network
In water supply systems, the potential exists for micro-hydropower that uses the pressure excess in the networks to produce electricity. However, because urban drinking water networks are complex systems in wh...

Dynamics of the head of gravity currents
The present work experimentally investigates the dynamics of unsteady gravity currents produced by lock-release of a saline mixture into a fresh water tank. Seven different experimental runs were performed by ...
