However, a complete interconnectivity of the porous structure has not been ensured. We have prepared PLLA-based 3D scaffolds with high porosity by the combination of TIPS with NaCl salt-leaching technique.

Design rainfall intensity is essential to urban stormwater management systems; however, obtaining long-term, short-term design rainfall in developing countries such as Ethiopia is challenging. As a result, this study is conducted to derive short-term design rainfall intensity from daily rainfall data for Robe town using three empirical equations for urban drainage design: Indian Meteorological Method (IMD), Modified Indian Meteorological Method (MIMD), and Ethiopian Road Authority Method (ERAM). The results show that the estimated design rainfall by IMD is greater than other methods; the relationship between IMD, MIMD, ERAM, and existing ranges from 0.57 to 1.001, 1.015 to 1.218, and 0.890 to 1.027, respectively. According to the findings of this study, the design rainfall intensity of all empirical equations is not the same in all return periods and durations. Furthermore, the peak stormwater that caused flooding will vary due to variations in rainfall intensity. Thus, this study strongly suggested that the experts consider each empirical equation and select the accurate design rainfall to design adequate stormwater drainage systems for Robe Town. To manage unexpected urban inundation caused by urban development, short-duration design rainfall and other sub-catchment characteristics will need to be considered.","PeriodicalId":14063,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hydrology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75579909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research was carried out in Mokwa local government of Niger state during wet season. Three soil samples of 300g weight from the top 20cm of the soil profile were taken from college farm. The initial moisture content of the soil was determined using oven-drying method. The soil samples were air dried, large clods broken and grounded. The soil samples were then mixed to obtain a homogenous mixture of the sample. The soil moisture content was then raised to varying moisture levels of 10%, 12%, and 14% exceeding the optimum moisture content of sandy loam which is 12% moisture. Each sample was subjected to five levels of compaction energy using 0,5,10,15,20 blows of a standard proctor hammer in cylindrical cores of 17cm in height and 10cm diameter in accordance with the standard proctor compaction procedure. Four holes were made in each can and four seeds were sown in each hole to be thinned into one seed per hole (four plants in each can). The depth of sowing was one cm. The seedlings were tinned to a maximum of five (5) per core at 15 days after planting. The heights (cm) of the seedling were taken with a measuring tape at 5-days interval to 20 days after planting. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD). The data collected were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis, regression analysis and analysis of variance. The results from the soil physical properties analysis shows that the soil is sandy loam with sand being 76.8 % and clay as 11.2%. The bulk average density was 1.75 g/cm3. Results obtained from the study shows that compactive efforts significantly affect plant growth and development. It also shows that as compactive effort increases, the soil bulk density and penetration also increases. The effect of number of hammer blows on soil bulk density and penetration resistance was significant. The effect of excessive moisture also affects germination and plant growth. Moderate soil compaction has beneficial effect. This is due to greater water retention. In general, it appears that there is a great potential in growing sesame on sandy loam soil, if the level of compaction is maintained at moderate level, which does not impede root development and other plant requirements.","PeriodicalId":14063,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hydrology","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83750856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, measurements on vegetated surfaces are difficult, and methods such as remote sensing are promising in the micrometeorological data area. We aimed to assess the applicability of the MOD16 product to estimate evapotranspiration in a vegetated area. MOD16 data (LEMOD) derive from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer sensor. For comparison, we used data from the eddy covariance system (LEEC) of the tower of the Large-scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Program in the Amazon of the Jaru Biological Reserve. To measure the linearity among variables, the Pearson correlation test (α=0.05) was used, and the T test was applied to assess the statistical significance between LEMOD and LEEC means (α=0.05); the root mean square error was also calculated. Regarding LEMOD, a similarity was found between the annual means of model and data, in which the best LEMOD estimates were obtained for annual averaging, when mean values were 96.51 W m–2 (0.7% lower than LEEC).

The relevant urban river is Houet river located in the city of Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso) receives wastewater released by a wastewater treatment and purification unit (WWTP). To do this, a diagnosis of the functioning of WWTP and an assessment of the quality of the effluents released in the river were indeed carried out. The WWTP treats wastewater from industries, households and the percolating water from the treatment of the city's sewage sludge. Water released by the WWTP has a poor physico-chemical quality and high microbiological pollution. The urban river water suitability for irrigation was carried out by taking 8 water samples from the river sections at upstream and downstream parts of the WWTP junction. The physico-chemical (pH, EC, STD, Ca2+ , Mg2+ , K+ , Na+ , Cl-, HCO3- , PO43- , NO2- , NO3- , NH4+ ), microbiological (total coliform, fecal coliform, Escherichia coli and fecal Streptococci), trace metallic elements (Ni, Cr, Zn, Cu, Al, Fe and Mn) and indices such as sodium adsorption rate (SAR), percentage of soluble sodium (%Na), permeability index (PI), magnesium adsorption ratio (RAM) and Kelly ratio (RK) were analyzed and the results compared with WHO, FAO and USSL guidelines for irrigation water. The results show that the physico-chemical parameters are in line with the WHO and FAO standards for irrigation. However, the river water is reported to have medium salinity with a slight to moderate degree of restriction for EC and STD. The concentrations of ammonium (NH4+), manganese (Mn) and nickel (Ni) in the river’s water have values above standard reference for irrigation water. This suggests (i) overuse of nitrogenous fertilizers, (ii) industrial and anthropogenic discharges directly into the river, (iii) and an incomplete treatment process of water released by the WWTP. The presence of Total Coliforms, Fecal Coliforms, Escherichia coli and Fecal Streptococci at levels of around 104 to 109 CFU/100ml, above the FAO standard (2000 CFU/100ml), indicate that the river water is probably contaminated by viruses, parasites and other pathogenic bacteria of fecal origin. Houet river water is in excellent range for irrigation according to Wilcox diagram and in the C2 S1 range of medium to good quality according to the Riverside diagram. The SAR, %Na, PI, RAM and RK indices showed that the infiltration problem issue of the river water on irrigated soils is low before its junction with the WWTP and moderate after its junction. Overall, this river water is suitable for irrigation, but the presence of bacteria, ammonium and trace metallic elements require for the regional water and agricultural authorities to (i) pay particular attention to human activities in the vicinity of the river, (ii) improve the efficiency of the wastewater treatment process at the WWTP and (iii) more strictly control fertilizers’ uses by market gardeners.
