The exact measurement of water turbidity is a difficult process because many conditions affect the reading of turbidity. Although many researchers applied decomposition-based techniques for preprocessing, it is difficult to use these approaches in real estimation because the newly acquired data greatly affect the initial decomposed subsequent values. In this study, the threshold-based wavelet denoising method, as a data pre-processing, coupled with the deep learning models (i.e., ANN and ANFIS) was employed to enhance the performance of the water turbidity modeling. The results showed that deep learning techniques in temporal modeling of water turbidity have good accuracy and can be used with reasonable confidence. Also, data denoising increases the accuracy of deep learning methods in estimating the amount of water turbidity. ANFIS method is more accurate in both calibration and validation modes as well as in noisy and denoised conditions. Based on the results, data denoising in the ANN method has a more significant impact than in the ANFIS technique. For example, in Comb. 5, which is the best case, the improvement rate of the results in the ANN is 12% and in the ANFIS method is 4%. This could be due to the fuzzy system in handling uncertainties in the model.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydro-environment Research","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 26-37"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138991284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing water indices are highly influenced by atmospheric and other environmental conditions and suffer from limited performance, especially in urban areas. At the core of the limitation is the sole dependency on the spectral distribution of reflectance signals. To overcome this, we propose to utilize topographic data as additional information for better water detection. Accordingly, the new index, namely Combined Water Index (CWI), is developed as the product of the topographic index and the reflectance-based index. These two indices excellently compensate each other: the former is free from noise issues but invariant over time while the latter can capture temporal dynamics of waterbody extents. The CWI is applied to four study areas of different development levels (natural, medium-sized cities, and megalopolis) in the Han River basin, South Korea. The water detection results of the CWI is promising, particularly in the heavily developed urban setting, demonstrated through visual images as well as various statistical measures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydro-environment Research","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 38-49"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139411992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The common reasons lie in increasing freshwater withdrawal, river flow regulation and sea level rise due to global warming. In particular, the Red River Delta in northern Vietnam is facing a strong population growth worsening the pressure on freshwater resources for drinking water and irrigation needs. During the dry season, increasing conflicts and constraints in freshwater availability have already been experienced. Adverse combinations of river flow regulations and high sea levels lead to severe upstream propagations of salinity. This study takes advantage of a statistical characterization of discharges released from Hoa Binh reservoir and observed at Son Tay station, the main river flow control upstream of the river delta, along with downscaled and updated sea level rise scenarios to estimate the future extents of saltwater intrusion under different options of water release from reservoirs in the dry season. To do so, a 1D hydraulic model of the river delta network was implemented using MIKE11 software. The hydraulic and the quality modules were calibrated and validated with respect to the present scenario by using water stages and salinity concentrations observed in estuary branches. Sea level rise projections for 2050 and 2100 referred to RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 AR5 emission scenarios were then considered. Results show that river flow regulation can provide an effective mitigation measure. A 20–30% increase in the discharge released from the Son Tay station would be beneficial to push downstream the saltwater intrusion in the main Red River branch during the dry season. For instance, in 2050 the 1‰ salt concentration front is expected to be pushed back at least 6 km when the exceeding probability of the discharge released by Son Tay station decreases from 95% to 25%.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydro-environment Research","volume":"51 ","pages":"Pages 67-81"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1570644323000680/pdfft?md5=889bb4d7a80e99155331e08581c0ffe7&pid=1-s2.0-S1570644323000680-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135410069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Higher-order turbulence such as turbulent diffusivity, third-order moments of velocity fluctuation, quadrant analysis and flux of turbulence kinetic energy have been analysed. Reynolds stress anisotropy has been investigated by Anisotropic invariant maps (AIMs) with the use of eigenvalues for both vegetation and non-vegetation condition. In the vegetation zone, more diffusivity occurs and an apparent decrease in velocity causes larger eddies in the outer layer; whereas in the non-vegetation zone, larger eddies formation at near-bed has been found. Quadrant analysis has been done based on relative signs of velocity fluctuation which signifies that Reynolds shear stress is transported from the bed surface to the free surface when flow enters in the vegetation zone from the non-disturbed region. The longitudinal distribution of the anisotropy tensor near the bed surface for the vegetation zone provides the higher anisotropic flow than those of non-vegetation zone. Although, transverse and vertical distributions of the anisotropy tensor in the vicinity of the bed surface for the non-vegetation zone provide a lower anisotropic stream. Flow anisotropy can be understood by AIMs indicating axis-symmetric expansion in a non-vegetation zone whereas axis-symmetric contraction is in the vegetation zone. The outcomes of this study deliver a significant and detailed view of turbulent flow structures in vegetation and non-vegetation zone in an open channel flow.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydro-environment Research","volume":"51 ","pages":"Pages 32-47"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50197983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyzed long-term datasets of daily discharge and suspended sediment concentrations collected at key gauging stations downstream of the three main tributaries: HB on the Da River, YB on the Red River (main channel), VQ on the Lo River, and ST, the outlet of the Red River system. The results indicated a sharp reduction in the annual sediment load transported by the Red River system, as observed at the four stations. For example, at the ST station, there was a dramatic decline of 91% in sediment load, dropping from 117.9 × 10⁶ ton/yr in the period 2009–2021 to 10.5 × 10⁶ ton/yr in the period 1958–1987. The Red River system experienced two notable declines in sediment load. The first decline occurred from 1988 to 2008, which can be attributed to the commencement of Hoa Binh dam's operation in 1988. The second decline has taken place since 2009, coinciding with the utilization of new dam-reservoirs. Meanwhile, an abrupt change in water discharge was observed clearly since the end of 2008 at all four stations. However, the reductions in water discharges were found to be less pronounced when compared to the sediment budget.
