Agriculture is a major source of employment in India, as well as a substantial contributor to gross domestic product, and crop output is dependent on the monsoon season. Rainfall prediction is useful to authorities for water storage and timely release to increase crop productivity. The current study proposes a Deep Neural Network (DNN) based hybrid model using a combination of convolutional neural network bi-directional long short-term memory (CNN BiLSTM) to predict monthly rain fall during monsoon seasons. The DNN models were used to analyze the average monthly rainfall data collected across the country from 1871 to 2019 during the monsoon seasons. Furthermore, the hybrid model's results were compared to the Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) architecture. In predicting rainfall in India, the proposed hybrid model framework has been found to be more accurate than the BiLSTM. The findings of the study suggest that a DNN frame work can be successfully adopted for time series analysis in water resource management and related domains to reduce the associated risks.","PeriodicalId":321483,"journal":{"name":"Acta Hydrologica Slovaca","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139012163","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 results of the model were compared for event-based and continuous simulations of streamflow using goodness-of-fit measures involving Nash-Sutcliff efficiency (NSE), normalized root mean square error (NRMSE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). Besides, the most sensitive parameters were identified using sensitivity analysis. Results revealed that although HBV model has a reliable performance for both modeling approaches, continuous modeling of streamflow hydrographs slightly outperforms the EB simulation approach.

The first part of the study deals with the statistical analysis of daily water and air temperature values. The second part examines regression models for predicting daily and monthly water temperatures in the Ipeľ River Basin. The results of this analysis indicate that due to climate change, there is a gradual increase in temperatures in the Ipeľ River. This trend can have a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity, especially in extreme scenarios. Additionally, elevated water temperatures can affect water management and the utilization of the Ipeľ River, including the availability of drinking water and the quality of water sources.

In complex hillslopes, combining different cases of plan shape (convergent, parallel and divergent) and profile curvature (concave, convex and straight) nine different geometries are created. In prediction of the surface and subsurface runoff of catchments based on saturation excess runoff mechanism, the saturated and unsaturated zones of hillslopes must be first separated. Subsurface travel time of hillslope is dependent on saturation attributes. In this research, a new saturation model, called Gamma, was developed to predict the saturated zone length and subsurface travel time in complex hillslopes. An analytical formula was introduced to calculate saturation zone length in Gamma model. Results of Gamma model, namely the saturation zone length and subsurface travel time, were compared with the results given by two other complex saturation models W and Sigma. The results of the three models were relatively close to each other in convergent and parallel hillslopes of different profile curvature type. However, due to the existence of an analytical equation for estimation of saturated zone length in the Gamma model, this model is recommended. It should be noted that for straight divergent and convex divergent hillslopes, the Gamma model is not suitable and Sigma or W model should be used.","PeriodicalId":321483,"journal":{"name":"Acta Hydrologica Slovaca","volume":"173 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139012260","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}

Nitrogen (N), needed for protein synthesis, and phosphorus (P), needed for DNA, RNA, and energy transfer, are both required to support aquatic plant growth and are the key limiting nutrients in most aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Most researchers have concluded that no single factor is responsible, but rather interactions between two or more factors control the rates. River aquatic systems that have been heavily loaded with nutrients can display P limitation, N limitation, and colimitation, and what nutrient is most limiting can change both seasonally and spatial. At the transition between fresh and saline water, P can often be the limiting nutrient. P and dissolved silicate are also often limiting during the spring, with N limitation commonly occurring during summer months. Algal production during summer is supported by rapidly recycled P within the water column or released from sediments.","PeriodicalId":321483,"journal":{"name":"Acta Hydrologica Slovaca","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132849966","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 effects of fire on the SWR of forest soils depend on the type of forest vegetation, the quantity of the organic component of the forest soil, the characteristics of the organic matter, the soil type, and its properties. Three study sites were located in the Borská nížina lowland (southwestern Slovakia). The first site IL1 represents a 100-years-old stand of Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris ), the second site IL2 is a 30-years-old stand of Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris ), and the third site LL is a deciduous stand with a predominance of alder ( Alnus glutinosa ). The article aimed to determine the influence of forest floor biomass (FFB) in IL1, IL2 and LL on SWR induced by different heating temperatures. WDPT test was measured on the surface of burned mineral soil samples without FFB, and two series of measurements were carried out in samples covered with FFB. First were carried on the surface of burned FFB and second, under burned FFB on the exposed mineral soil. Our first hypothesis was that heating temperatures would induce higher SWR persistence on soil covered with forest floor biomass compared to bare soil; the second hypothesis was that different forest floor biomass would induce different post-fire SWR persistence. The differences between the samples covered with FFB and samples without FFB in mean values of SWR induced by different temperatures were not statistically significant for either research site. On the other hand, the highest individual SWR values were measured at or below the forest floor biomass in both deciduous and coniferous forests. The second hypothesis was not confirmed. We found similar fire-induced SWR in the different types of forest floor biomass and the soil under forest floor biomass.","PeriodicalId":321483,"journal":{"name":"Acta Hydrologica Slovaca","volume":"289 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132147839","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}

Due to its different approach to the modeling method and the user-friendly environment of the WEAP software, this model, with a relatively small scale of input data, retrospectively simulates flows along the modeled streams with a high degree of accuracy (NSE = 0.89 for similar hydrological regime of validation and calibration basins).
