Surface water is any water found above ground, such as streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and wetlands. The majority of surface water comes from precipitation, such as rain or snowfall, which runs off into the surrounding areas. To monitor surface water levels over the long term, such as stream gauging, stormwater runoff, or shallow water monitoring, Van Essen Instruments has developed reliable and cost-effective products. Our remote monitoring technology delivers real-time intelligence that aids in decision support systems.

Our monitoring systems allow you to remotely collect data in real-time, which means you can monitor surface water levels, quality, and other essential parameters without being on-site. Additionally, this approach can help you save on travel costs, labour, and other expenses associated with manual data collection, making it a cost-effective solution.

At which distance from the shoreline do rivers start changing their characteristics? The backwater effect is a concept based on basic fluid momentum balances and can be used to predict changes in channel depth, width, sinuosity and grain size. Super handy! However, we found that methods previously used were ambiguous and decided it was time to attempt a clean-up. Many thanks to co-authors John Holbrook, Miquel Poyatos Moré, and Ivar Midtkandal.

New Publication!! I am pleased to announce that our new article, “GIS-based multi criteria decision analysis techniques used to identify potential groundwater recharge zones in Quetta Valley, Pakistan” has just been published in the leading Journal Desalination and Water Treatment. Many urban centers worldwide must depend on groundwater resources for domestic water supply due to less deteriorate and accessibility. The unplanned population growth and anthropogenic activities has been affected the sustainability of groundwater resources globally. Quetta, the provincial headquarter of largest province of Pakistan, is facing serious issues of water scarcity, decline and less recharge. The objective of current study is to identify groundwater recharge potential zone using latest techniques of multi criteria decision analysis based on geographic information system and remote sensing applications for the Quetta Valley. The satellite images and other data sources are used to develop the thematic layers, viz., land use land cover, drainage density, lineament density, soil, rainfall, slope, geology, and geomorphology of the study area using various tools within ArcGIS. By using multicriteria decision analysis technique, the thematic layers are integrated and weighted overlay index analysis is employed to rank the parameter by its influence on groundwater recharge. Based on multi criteria decision analysis technique, the weight is allocated to each significant parameter. The recharge zones map is categories into three categories: high, moderate, and poor zones base on groundwater recharge potential. The final map covers 48.9% high recharge area and moderate recharge area 28.2% while least recharge is observed in 22.9% area of total study area. The final map of potential groundwater recharge zone could help to suggest artificial recharge sites groundwater in the study area to sustain depleting groundwater resources which could be Urak, Balali, Jinnah Town, Killi Chiltan Lehri, Nawa Killi etc. The findings are useful for water resource development and management for provincial headquarter of biggest province of Pakistan. https://lnkd.in/ertsxsNT

With the weather warming, it's time to begin dreaming of outdoor projects. Always call 811 at least three days prior to digging to have underground utilities or pipelines marked before any digging or excavation.

What is Debris Flow? Debris flow is a rapid downhill movement of a mixture of water, sediment, and debris, often triggered by heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt. This natural hazard can occur in various landscapes, from mountainous regions to coastal areas. Understanding its causes and effects is crucial for both geologists and residents of vulnerable regions. https://lnkd.in/eE3j9NVv
