This paper presents a novel methodology for hydrodynamic modeling of dam breach floods, leveraging a comprehensive approach that integrates satellite imagery, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and Google Earth Engine (GEE) to forecast downstream inundation scenarios. Specifically, UAVs were utilized to generate high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the flood-affected areas, ensuring precise representation of topography in the model. The approach incorporates Cartosat DEM data for catchment modeling, while NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement mission data, integrated with GEE, facilitated accurate estimation of rainfall in ungagged catchment areas. Furthermore, the Hydrological Engineering Center-Hydrological Modeling System was employed for rainfall-runoff simulation and flood hydrograph derivation, followed by application of the HEC River Analysis System (RAS) for hydrodynamic modeling under dam breach conditions. This integrated modeling approach was applied as a case study of Banaskantha district, Gujarat, India. The outcome was the generation of scenario maps based on HEC-RAS results, which include flood extent, water depth, and flow velocity, highlighting downstream areas affected by flooding. Validation of the hydrodynamic dam breach model performance was conducted using actual field measurements and simulated results, employing statistical analysis methods including Support Vector Regression (SVR) and linear regression to determine coefficient of determination (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup>), Root-Mean-Square Error, and Mean Absolute Error of observed and simulated data. The coefficient of determination (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup>) values for measured and simulated flow (0.91) and water level (0.86) calculated using SVR demonstrate strong correlation between observed and simulated values. This integrated study of hydrodynamic modeling in data-scarce areas aids in accurate estimation of future probable flooding in downstream areas in the event of a dam break, underscoring the potential of advanced surveying and modeling techniques in flood assessment and management. Ultimately, this integration of technologies aims to enhance community resilience and mitigate socioeconomic costs associated with dam breach floods.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8374,"journal":{"name":"Applied Water Science","volume":"14 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13201-024-02253-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141895653","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}

Herein, we explore the process of how dye molecules are absorbed onto COFs with precise supramolecular structures. The molecular dynamics (MD) and well-tempered metadynamics (WTMtD) simulations are used to investigate this process in aqueous solution. From the results obtained, it is clear that the intermolecular van der Waals (vdw) and π-π interactions have a significant role on accelerating the interaction between dye molecules and the COF nanostructures. This ultimately leads to the creation of a stable dye-COF complex.

Overall, our simulations confirmed that the COF1 nanostructure is more effective than the COF2 nanostructure in removing alizarin dye and its derivatives.

With the escalating demand for water resources, driven mainly by agricultural expansion, the strategic management of groundwater assets has become increasingly critical. This study focuses on delineating groundwater potential zones (GWPZs) through an integrated approach combining multi-criteria decision analysis and geospatial tools. Based on an extensive literature review, nine thematic layers were selected and developed: lithology, geology, drainage density, slope gradient, elevation, vegetation cover, lineament density, land use, and precipitation. These criteria were initially weighted using the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) and subsequently integrated via weighted overlay analysis. In this research, the strategic selection of thematic layers for assessing groundwater potential in arid regions has been identified as an innovative approach that could significantly advance studies in similar settings. The analysis revealed that approximately 60% of the study area, primarily in the southwestern parts, exhibited moderate to very high groundwater potential. This potential is primarily attributed to the presence of alluvial deposits, low drainage density, and favorable slope and elevation conditions. Applying the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve yields an area under the curve (AUC) of 81.5%, indicating a relatively high level of predictive accuracy. These findings demonstrate the efficacy of this integrated approach, suggesting its broader applicability in regions with analogous groundwater challenges and management needs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8374,"journal":{"name":"Applied Water Science","volume":"14 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13201-024-02243-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141857633","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}

So, it is necessary to find alternative non-conventional water resources for use in drought situations. Additionally, the non-conventional water resources in these areas are not sufficient to meet future water demand. Therefore, non-conventional water resources can be adopted as a strategic reserve to bridge the gap between water supply and demand in case of emergency and drought events. These resources might include rainwater harvesting, treated wastewater, and desalinated seawater. Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) can be applied to store these resources in the hydrogeological system using Geo information System—Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) approach for determining the suitable MAR location for storage. North-west Kingdom of Saudi Arabia area was chosen for this study because it is extremely arid, has high potential for social and economic development, and it has newly constructed non-conventional water infrastructures distributed throughout the area including water desalination plants, Tertiary Sewage Effluent (TSE) waste water plants, and flash-flood storage dams. To identify the suitable MAR site location and structure, different data related to aquifer hydrogeology, surface hydrology, hydrometeorology, and water quality were applied. Then, GIS-MCDA holistic approach was applied with aid of ordered weighting average (OWA) technique. Finally, two maps were created to show the MAR location and structure type. Potential map indicates that ~ 18.85% of the area is suitable for MAR installations. About 0.17% of the total area exhibited very high potential, where infiltration ponds can be applied, 1.86% had high potential for construction of check dams with diversion channels, and 16.82% had moderate potential for installation of recharge wells. Additionally, 56 MAR structures were proposed and a map showing their locations has been created. Thus, results indicated that the study area is promising for MAR installation.
