Evaluation of Hydraulic Performance: A Case Study of Etana Small Scale Irrigation Scheme: Wolaita Zone, Ethiopia
Abstract: The conventional furrow irrigation system is inherently inefficient in wolaita zone, while the suboptimal management and operation (inflow discharge and cutoff time) are considered as one of the main reasons for satisfactory hydraulic performance. Addressing these issues, the furrow irrigation system which is only practiced in the study area was evaluated on three fields under routine farmer management in wolaita zone. The study consisted of field experiments and simulation modeling. …

Evaluation of Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Quarter Circular Breakwater by RBF Network and Regression Models
Abstract: Breakwaters are massive structures constructed to provide the required tranquility within the ports and also used for safeguarding the beaches from eroding due to severe action of waves especially during inclement weather. In the recent years, innovative structures like Semi-Circular Breakwater (SCB) and Quarter Circular Breakwater (QCB) are being evolved to fulfill the ever increasing demand from coastal sector. QCB is a modified SCB, which is similar to caisson consists …

Water QUALITY ANALYSIS AND REMEDIAL MEASURE FOR NEAR BY VILLAGE WAGHOLI (DOMKHEL VASTI)
Abstract: This paper presents groundwater quality of nearby village Wagholi (Domkhel Vasti). Four different locations were selected for the study and compared. The parameters studied were pH, Turbidity, Chloride Content, Total Hardness. From overall analysis, it was observed that there was a slight fluctuation in the Turbidity, Chloride Content, Total Hardness among the water samples studied. Comparison of the result of the water sample with IS 10500:2012 showed that the certain …

Selection of Best Fit Probability Distribution for Estimation of Peak Flood using Qualitative and Quantitative Assessments
Abstract: Estimation of Peak Flood (PF) for a given return period is of utmost importance for planning and design of hydraulic structures. This can be achieved through Flood Frequency Analysis (FFA) of stream flow data by fitting normal, gamma and extreme value families of distributions to the series of observed annual peak flood data. In this paper, a study on estimation of PF for river Beas at Dhaulasidh site adopting 2-parameter …

Hydrological Response of Land Use Land Cover Change on Stream Flow of Anger Watershed, Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia
Abstract: ABSTRACT The soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model was applied to simulate the streamflow from the Anger watershed (7,982 km2), located in Western Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. ArcGIS was applied to layer staking, mosaicking, image classification, and accuracy assessment. The purpose of the study was to examine the applicability of the SWAT model and to detect the effect of past land-use land-cover change on streamflow of the watershed. The …
