  • A Study on Sediment Settling Pattern in the Reservoir of Shahid Rajaie Dam by Using Observed Data & Empirical Methods
    Archive of SID A Study on Sediment Settling Pattern in the Reservoir of Shahid Rajaie Dam by Using Observed Data & Empirical Methods Zohreh Zargaran M.Sc. Student of Water Resources Engineering and Management, Islamic Azad University, Science & Research Branch, Tehran, Iran [email protected] Farhang Behrangi Ph.D. Candidate in Hydraulic Structures, School of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran [email protected] Leila Amiri Ph.D. Candidate in Environmental Engineering, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, K.N.Toosi University of Technology, Tehran, Iran [email protected] Abstract In addition to reducing the useful storage capacity, sedimentation in reservoirs makes changes to a river basin and reservoir morphology. Depending on the amount of incoming sediment, trap coefficient and the manner of settling, the useful life of the reservoirs varies. With the movement of sediments towards the body of the dam and the obstruction of the discharging gates and turbine valves, the dam operation will practically face problems. Therefore in sedimentation studies, besides the incoming sediment, its movement rate towards the body of the dam, and the sediment deposit procedure must be taken into account. This paper presents a study on Shahid Rajaee reservoir in Iran in which first, by using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011 software, the geometrical information of the reservoir such as its volume, area and longitudinal profile are obtained from hydrographic maps. Then with observed data and empirical methods, the amounts of sediment inflow as well as its settling pattern in the reservoir are studied and the future of sedimentation procedure in this reservoir is anticipated.

I received my high school diploma in 1989-90 and from 1991-93, I was a university student majoring in education. Our activities at the time were limited to the distribution of statements and having connections with other groups in Mohammareh, Fallahiyeh1, Shush and other cities to hold cultural gatherings such as poetry readings. We did not engage in any other activities. Nevertheless, my file [with the security services] listed these activities as "intelligence-gathering" and "actions against national security." There was only one thing [that I did] that could have been considered very dangerous from the point of view of the Islamic Republic; my actions in relation to the sugarcane project.

  • Effect of the Kharkhe Storage Dam on Vulnerability of Downstream Land and the Kharkhe Bondary
    American-Eurasian J. Agric. & Environ. Sci., 3 (6): 917-921, 2008 ISSN 1818-6769 © IDOSI Publications, 2008 Effect of the Kharkhe Storage Dam on Vulnerability of Downstream Land and the Kharkhe Bondary 1M. Mohammadpour, 2A. Behnia, 2A. M. Akhoond-Ali and 3A. Telvari 1Department of Hydrology, Shahid Chamran University, Ahvaz, Iran 2Shahid Chamran University, Ahvaz, Iran 3Institude of Watershed Manaagement, Tehran, Iran Abstract: River boundaries, as defined by the state law, comprise the land along and surrounding riverbanks expected to be inundated or flooded during flood events of a 25-year return-period. Construction of large water structures such as dams across rivers may lead to considerable decrease in the flood discharge proportionate to structure size which will in turn result in lower flood probability. Assessment of the vulnerability of river boundary is of great importance due to their rich soil and easy access to irrigation water which makes such riverbank farms economically valuable especially in dry areas. The results of such assessment can be used in land use planning. For the purposes of the present study, a reach of 190 km was selected along the banks of the Karkheh River downstream the Karkheh Storage Dam in southern Iran. Estimations were then made of river flood events prior to constructing the dam with return periods of 2 to 100 years and their corresponding post-construction values for the same periods. Values of flood inundation of the river banks were determined for flood events with different return periods. Using the values thus obtained, the vulnerability curve was plotted for various flood probabilities before and after constructing the dam.

  • Analyses of the Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources Components, Drought and Wheat Yield in Semiarid Regions: Karkheh River Basin in Iran
    HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES Hydrol. Process. (2013) Published online in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI: 10.1002/hyp.9747 Analyses of the impact of climate change on water resources components, drought and wheat yield in semiarid regions: Karkheh River Basin in Iran S. Ashraf Vaghefi,1 S. J. Mousavi,1 K. C. Abbaspour,2* R. Srinivasan3 and H. Yang2 1 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran 2 Eawag, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, PO Box 611, 8600, Dübendorf, Switzerland 3 Texas A&M University, Texas Agricultural Experimental Station, Spatial Science Lab, College Station, TX, 77845, USA Abstract: Water resources availability in the semiarid regions of Iran has experienced severe reduction because of increasing water use and lengthening of dry periods. To better manage this resource, we investigated the impact of climate change on water resources and wheat yield in the Karkheh River Basin (KRB) in the semiarid region of Iran. Future climate scenarios for 2020–2040 were generated from the Canadian Global Coupled Model for scenarios A1B, B1 and A2. We constructed a hydrological model of KRB using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool to project water resources availability. Blue and green water components were modeled with uncertainty ranges for both historic and future data. The Sequential Uncertainty Fitting Version 2 was used with parallel processing option to calibrate the model based on river discharge and wheat yield. Furthermore, a newly developed program called critical continuous day calculator was used to determine the frequency and length of critical periods for precipitation, maximum temperature and soil moisture.

  • Water Resources Management in Karkheh Basin-Iran
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE 3RD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENERGY AND DEVELOPMENT - ENVIRONMENT - BIOMEDICINE Water Resources Management in Karkheh Basin-Iran AMIR HAMZEH HAGHIABI1 , NIKOS E. MASTORAKIS2 1-Department of water engineering Lorestan University Khorramabad, Lorestan Province IRAN [email protected] 2- Technical University of Sofia, BULGARIA– also with the WSEAS Research Department, WSEAS, A.I.Theologou 17-23, Zografou, 15773, Athens, GREECE Abstract: - Karkheh basin is located in the semiarid and arid regions of Western Iran, an area with severe water scarcity. 70% of rainfall is directly evaporated. The potential annual evaporation of the southern and northern regions is 3,600 mm 1,800 mm, respectively. Agriculture plays an important role in the economy of the basin. In the present situation, 3.9 bm3 of water are used for irrigating 378,164 ha of irrigated agriculture (horticulture and field crops), and surface water and groundwater resources provide 63 percent and 37 percent, respectively, of this volume. Of the irrigated area, 76.5% is under cereals (wheat and barely), 23% under pulses, and 0.5% under cultivation of forage, orchards, melons and vegetables, and oil seeds. The area is particularly low in terms of yields, productivity and incomes. Irrigation efficiency in the basin is 28-36 percent and the overall Crop Water Productivity in the basin is about 0.55 kg/m3. In this paper, the specifications of the Karkheh Reservoir Dam & Hydroelectric Power Plant as the biggest dam in history of Iran with total volume of reservoir 7.3 Bm3 and Karkheh irrigation and drainage network project are illustrated. Also the situation of water availability in the basin, surface and groundwater potential and some aspects of water resources management in the basin are considered.

  • Introduction
    Notes INTRODUCTION 1. Kasravi's Tarikh-e Mashruteh-e Iran (History of the Iranian Constitution), 1961, offers the best detailed analysis of the 1906 revolution. Despite other numerous publications on the same subject, there is still dispute over the precise causes of this revolution, especially in view of the 1979 revolution, which has coloured the opinion of some analysts in Iran. 2. The Bolshevik Revolution and the eventual departure of the Russian troops together with the occupation of the north by the British forces paved the way for the imposition of the 1919 Agreement. With Lord Curzon as foreign secre­ tary, the stage was set for the launching of Curzon's most cherished political ambitions which was 'the regeneration of Persia under British tutelage as one of the friendly countries' (Wright, 1985, p. 205). Therefore, the Anglo-Persian treaty of 1919, which had been the subject of secret negotiations with Vusugh al-Dowleh, Sarem al-Dowleh and Nosrat al-Dowleh, was made public on 19 August 1919. The terms of the agreement, even though disguised, clearly showed that the country was becoming a British protectorate. According to the agreement, the Persian government was giving Britain a special position in return for a loan of £2 million at 7 per cent (Annual Register, 1919, p. 255~ Ahmad Shah, in the meantime, was rewarded by a long-awaited tour of Europe after he had fulfilled his obligation by keeping the pro-British trium­ virate of ministers in their posts to complete the necessary negotiations. However, the treaty had to be ratified by the Majlis.
