Conjunctive Surface Water and Groundwater Management under Climate Change
Climate change can result in significant impacts on regional and global surface water and groundwater resources.Using groundwater as a complimentary source of water has provided an effective means to satisfy the ever-increasing water demands and deal with surface water shortages problems due to robust capability of groundwater in responding to clim
A new data assimilation approach for improving runoff prediction using remotely-sensed soil moisture retrievals
A number of recent studies have focused on enhancing runoff prediction via the assimilation gift ware of remotely-sensed surface soil moisture retrievals into a hydrologic model.The majority of these approaches have viewed the problem from purely a state or parameter estimation perspective in which remotely-sensed soil moisture estimates are assimi
Transport theory within a generalized Boltzmann equation for multiband wave packets
A generalized theory for transport under applied electrochemical potential and temperature gradients that includes multiband effects is presented.This theory relies on a newly defined density operator for multiband wave packets, whose dynamics containing diffusive and scattering contributions are captured in a generalized equation of motion.Given t
