Development of a Regional Neural Network for Coastal Water Level Predictions

Posted By dane307 3235 days ago in Fluid Mechanics

This paper presents the development of a Regional Neural Network for Water Level (RNN WL) predictions, with an application to the coastal inlets along the South Shore of Long Island, New York. Long-term water level data at coastal inlets are important for studying coastal hydrodynamics sediment transport. However, it is quite common that long-term water level observations may be not available, du http://cirp.wes.army.mil -

Iran Sinking as Groundwater Resources Disappear

Posted By macy 3111 days ago in Hydrogeology

Iran's insatiable demand for water, which is being drawn out of aquifers far faster than it can be replenished, is causing large chunks of farmland to sink and buildings to crack, according to a new study.

Estimates suggest the water levels in Iranian aquifers have declined by an average of nearly 1.5 feet (half a meter) every year over the last 15 years.

Dropping water reveals Lake Shasta artifacts

Posted By kevesha 3097 days ago in Miscellaneous

LAKEHEAD, Calif.â€”While California struggles with a statewide drought, history buffs are finding some solace in the array of relics emerging in Lake Shasta as water levels plummet.

The receding waters have revealed old bridges, train trestles, tunnels and the foundations of towns drowned when the dam that created the lake was completed in 1945.

Measuring Water From Space

Posted By britneyg 3059 days ago in Miscellaneous

Observations from satellites now allow scientists to monitor changes to water levels in the sea, in rivers and lakes, in ice sheets and even under the ground. As the climate changes, this information will be crucial for monitoring its effects and predicting future impacts in different regions. http://www.sciencedaily.com -

Shocking Great Lakes Water Report

Posted By goopsgoops 2887 days ago in Hydrology

A steady drop in water levels in Lake Michigan/Huron over the first half of this decade resulted from natural causes, not man-made ones, according to U.S. and Canadian researchers, noting that the past 18 months of rising waters could be an indication the lakes are headed back to normal levels.

Surge Atlas For New Orleans Hurricane Threat

Posted By teddyRIO 2854 days ago in Hydrology

A surge atlas can be used to make an immediate estimate of the maximum water levels and wave heights around New Orleans. With the hurricane season just around the corner (1 June - 30 November), Royal Haskoning aims to make a significant contribution by providing better predictions in order to prevent a disaster like the one in 2005.
