Alpine lakes are widely distributed in high mountain areas and are sensitive to climate and environmental changes. An automated alpine lake identification method was developed by leveraging deep learning algorithms and multi-source high-resolution satellite data. The method is capable of detecting the outlines and types of alpine lakes from high-resolution optical and SAR satellite data. A total of 4,584 alpine lakes were identified in the Eastern Himalayas by this method. The true-color satellite image presents typical alpine lakes in the Eastern Himalayas. Alpine lakes show up as dark blue or dark green colors. Glaciers are also visible in the image, located near the lakes and colored the brightest. The red-green-blue combination image was produced from the 10 m resolution bands acquired on January 5, 2023, by the MSI sensor onboard the ESA Sentinel-2B satellite. View this paper
Evaluating the effect of ecological water supplement on groundwater restoration quantitatively could produce positive contributions to both water cycle theory and surface–groundwater conjunctive management. Therefore, in this paper, a groundwat...
Hydrocarbons occur in fossil fuels such as crude oil and consist mainly of hydrogen and carbon. Although they are natural chemicals, crude oil refining results in commercial products with new physico-chemical properties, which can increase their comp...
Evapotranspiration is one of the key elements of water balance in nature. It significantly influences the water supply in the unsaturated zone of a soil profile. The unsaturated zone is a water source for the biosphere. The aim of this study is to me...
It is generally assumed that the larger the bottle volume, the longer the duration of phytoplankton microcosm experiments. We hypothesize that volume and duration are independent, as volume does not regulate the extension of the exponential growth ph...
Communities around the world living in either urban or rural areas continue to experience serious WASH problems during flood episodes. Communities and individual households are affected differently depending on their coping capacities and their resou...
Our research introduces the river regulation effects on three sections of the upper and middle Odra River (south-western Poland), with differently channelized parts. In the upper and lower reaches, the river was straightened, narrowed, and trained wi...
Multiple uses of water aquaculture-integrated agriculture systems (AIAS) are inevitable to produce more food per drop of water to address water shortage, food insecurity, and climate change. This survey intends to outline the multiple-use water in po...
Flow measurements in pipelines using slug tracer have proved highly accurate for turbulent flow. This study experimentally investigates the effectiveness of using a passive rotor on the accuracy of discharge measurements in sewer pipes based on a sal...
The water quality audit concept is an important feature in assessing the loss of disinfectant mass in drinking water distribution systems. Based on this concept, the loss can be divided into the loss of disinfectant mass through water losses (Ml) and...
In this research, experimental and numerical studies of water waves in a wave tank are analyzed and how to find the optimum beach slope for numerical simulation is also investigated. First, with the aid of a wave tank (flap type), waves with differen...
