  • Uncertainty Propagation of Hydrologic Modeling in Water Supply System Performance: Application of Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method
    Uncertainty Propagation of Hydrologic Modeling in Water Supply System Performance: Application of Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method Erfan Goharian, Ph.D., A.M.ASCE1; Zahra Zahmatkesh, Ph.D.2; and Samuel Sandoval-Solis, Ph.D., M.ASCE3 Abstract: It is imperative for cities to develop sustainable water management and planning strategies in order to best serve urban com- munities that are currently facing increasing population and water demand. Water resources managers are often chastened by experiencing failures attributed to natural extreme droughts and floods. However, recent changes in water management systems have been responding to these uncertain conditions. Water managers have become thoughtful about the adverse effects of uncertain extreme events on the performance of water supply systems. Natural hydrologic variability and inherent uncertainties associated with the future climate variations make the simulation and management of water supplies a greater challenge. The hydrologic simulation process is one of the main components in integrated water resources management. Hydrologic simulations incorporate uncertain input values, model parameters, and a model structure. Therefore, stochastic streamflow simulation and prediction, and consideration of uncertainty propagation on performance of water supply systems (WSSs) are essential phases for efficient management of these systems. The proposed integrated framework in this study models a WSS by taking into account the dynamic nature of the system and utilizing a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm to capture the uncertainties associated with hydrologic simulation. Hydrologic responses from the results of a rainfall-runoff model for three watersheds of Karaj, Latyan, and Lar in Tehran, Iran, as the case study are used as inputs to the reservoirs.

This area is a major part of Tehran province and according to geologic division is a minor part of Alborz zone. This area is under compressive stress and shortening that caused by Arabia – Eurasia Convergence. This situation has confirmed by dominant existence of folded structures and thrust fault system. We have investigated geologic hazards of Tehran area, because this area is the most strategic part of Iran. The major faults have been investigated and have not been found any evidences to existence of north and south Rey faults. In the other hand, active tectonic of this area has been investigated and Mosha fault has been introduced as the most active fault. The high seismic potential has been distinguished by integration of structural geology and active tectonic studies. The evaluation of movement potential of the main faults in the current tectonic regime shows the North Tehran fault has % 90 potential to movement. In addition the hazard potentials of landslides, settlements, volcanism and dams have been introduced. Finally, geologic hazard map has been prepared and has been divided to10 zones with one to four ranking of risk.

The aim of the GWES project is 1/ to consider extreme events (natural and man-induced) that could adversely influence human health and life, 2/ to support countries repeatedly affected by such events in the setting up of emergency plans and mitigation schemes to secure drinking water supply, and 3/ to identify in advance potential safe groundwater resources which could temporarily replace damaged water supply systems. The results of this project will allow countries to minimize the dependence of threatened population on vulnerable drinking water supplies. Groundwater bodies are naturally less vulnerable and more resistant than surface waters to external impact. Deep aquifers naturally protected from the earth surface by geological environ- ment should be therefore, identified and evaluated.

  • ORIGINAL ARTICLES the Probability of Alborz Mountains Environmental
    156 Research Journal of Fisheries and Hydrobiology, 6(3): 156-173, 2011 ISSN 1816-9112 ORIGINAL ARTICLES The Probability Of Alborz Mountains Environmental Pollution Due To Seismic Response Of Lar Dam Zaniar Tokmechi Department of Civil Engineering, Mahabad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Mahabad, Iran. ABSTRACT Lar Dam is a dam located in foot of Mount Damavand, Iran. It is one of the main sources of water for Tehran metropolitan region. Alborz, also written as Alburz, Elburz or Elborz, is a mountain range in northern Iran stretching from the borders of Azerbaijan and Armenia in the northwest to the southern end of the Caspian Sea, and ending in the east at the borders of Turkmenistan and Afghanistan. The tallest mountain in the Middle East, Mount Damavand, is located in the range. In this paper, the probability of environmental pollution due to heavy metals caused by LAR dam failure is studied. Finite Element and ZENGAR methods are used to analyze the probability of pollution at dam downstream. Different dam cross sections and various loading conditions are considered to study the effects of these factors on the seismic behavior of the dam. Results show that the effect of the highest cross section is not the most significant for heavy metals pollution at the dam down stream. Pollution coefficient due to stress along Y axis (Sy) is always the determinant pollution. While, in all sections Sx and Sy are the determinant parameter affecting downstream heavy metal pollution and normally are bigger than Sz. And, Sz which can never be a determinant. According to results, when the earthquake accelerations are bigger, maximum pollution coefficient due to tensile stress at dam basement is increased.

    Conjunctive Use of Surface and Groundwater Resources with Emphasis on Water Quality M. Karamouz1, M. Mohammad Rezapour Tabari2, R. Kerachian3 and B.

Water supply with acceptable quality, reduction of pumping costs, and controlling the groundwater table fluctuations are considered in the objective function of the model. In the proposed methodology, the results of a groundwater simulation model are used to train the ANNs based simulation model. This model is then linked to the GA based optimization model to develop the monthly conjunctive use operating policies. The proposed model is applied to the surface and groundwater allocation in the irrigation networks in the southern part of Tehran, the capital city of Iran. Tehran metropolitan area has annual domestic water consumption close to one billion cubic meters. The sewer system is mainly consisted of the traditional absorption wells. Some part of this sewage is drained into local rivers and drainage channels and partially contaminates the surface runoff and local flows. These polluted surface waters are used in conjunction with groundwater for irrigation purposes in the Southern part of the Tehran.

  • Development of a Multimetric Index Based on Benthic Macroinvertebrates for Downstream Jajrud River in Tehran Province, Iran
    Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences 19(1) 286-296 2020 DOI: 10.22092/ijfs.2019.118321 Development of a multimetric index based on benthic macroinvertebrates for downstream Jajrud River in Tehran province, Iran Mehrjo F.1; Abdoli A.2; Hashemi S.H.1*; Hosseinabadi F.1 Received: September 2017 Accepted: October 2017 Abstract Jajrud River is the main source of drinking water in the East of Tehran. The river originates from heights of the Alborz Mountain in Northern Tehran. In this study, five stations were sampled for water quality assessment in downstream. Brgjhan and Afjeh stations were considered as reference stations. Benthic macroinvertebrate sampling was repeated 3 times at each station with a Surber sampler device and an area of 900 square cm and a mesh size of 250 microns, in four seasons. For the development of MMIDJ (Multimetric Macro-invertebrate Index Downstream Jajrud-MMIDJ) multimetric index based on benthic macro-invertebrate, 25 bio-indicators were compared in the reference stations with the data of two years, 2013 and 2014. The features of the bio-indicators included measurement of components tolerance, composition, richness, and trophic. MMIDJ multimetric index was developed from 6 indices including HFBI (Hilsenhoff Family Biotic Index), BMWP/ASPT (Biological Monitoring Working Party/Average Score per Taxon), NJIS (New Jersey Impairment Score), MMIF (Multimetric Macro- invertebrate Index Flanders), % Ephemeroptera, and BBI (Belgian Biotic Index). Indices selected were significantly correlated with at least one physicochemical parameter and low degree of changes like % Chironomidae, % non-insects, the ratio of Downloaded from jifro.ir at 18:49 +0330 on Tuesday September 28th 2021 EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera) individuals to Chironomidae, and high density.
