The reaches of the river that affected by river flow and tidal wave are called as tidal limit and water level in this limit is a function of flood discharge and water level in upstream and downstream, respectively. In tidal limit, tidal waves propagate along the river to the upstream and combination of these waves and upstream flood discharge leads to an increase in water level. This mechanism increases flood plain limit and potential of damage and the risk. In this study, the reach between Ahvaz and Khorramshahr in Karun River in Iran is selected as case study and different linear models for the prediction of water level in tidal flood condition are investigated. Results show that the simple linear regression is not acceptable because of its variable variance of residuals. Transformed nonlinear models that are a form of linear models are used for modeling too. Two equations (Logarithmic and Power) with improved coefficient of determination, relatively constant variance and normal distribution of residuals of models are concluded from detailed analysis. These selected models are used for acceptability of these models considering their simplicity.

Human activities such as dam construction can lead to significant river flow regime changes and, ... more Human activities such as dam construction can lead to significant river flow regime changes and, consequently, river environments and habitats. Different approaches for estimating the environmental flow have developed to improve the river ecosystem's environmental and habitat conditions. The hydrological approach is considered in many studies to estimate environmental flows considering its advantages. Vimba vimba persa is an economically and ecologically valuable species in the Caspian Sea that spawns and reproduces naturally in the Gorganrood River downstream in April-May. After the construction of the Voshmgir dam on the Gorganrood River, the fish population has drastically reduced in recent decades. In this study, to investigate the effect of constructing the Voshmgir dam on the environmental flow of Gorganrood River, a wide range of hydrological methods, including Tennant, Tessman, Arkansas, Aquatic Base Flow, Flow Duration Curve, High Flow-Low Flow, and FDC Shifting have been used. Comparing the correlation between the mean monthly flow time series before and after the Voshmgir dam demonstrates remarkable changes, including Pearson (0.95 to 0.86), Spearman's rho (0.93 to 0.78), and Kendall's τ (0.78 to 0.61) as a consequence of dam construction. The results indicate that estimated environmental flow from Tennant (1.1, 3.4 to 1.3, 3.8 cms) and Aquatic Base Flow (0.5 to 1.8 cms) methods have led to inadequate estimation due to significant changes in flow in different months. The amount of environmental flow during April-May estimated from investigated methods indicates the dam negatively affected water allocation to meet the river downstream's ecological and environmental needs. The flow duration curve analysis confirms that the dam construction has caused the river flow to fluctuate significantly within the year. The dam construction has dramatically reduced the flow in April-May, a critical environmental and ecological season. The April-May period coincides with the river's flood season. The construction of the Voshmgir dam has caused the components of high flow in the environmental flow to face severe shortages.

The study spanned a period of 50 years (1966–2016). Results indicate a decrease in high discharge rates during springtime for the Arazkouseh and Galikesh stations, with a steep slope of −0.31 m3/s per year for Arazkouseh and −0.19 and −0.17 for Galikesh. Furthermore, Tamar station experienced an increase in very high discharge during summer, with a slope of 0.12 m3/s per year. However, low discharge rates remained relatively unchanged. Arazkouseh station showed a higher rate of decreasing discharge levels and this trend was most prominent during spring. Additionally, the Bayesian quantile regression model proved to be more accurate and reliable than the frequency-oriented quantile regression model. These findings suggest that quantile regression models are a valuable tool for predicting and managi...

In the spring, medium and high evaporation rates increased in the northern regions of the province (the highest trend slope, 0.15 mm/decade in the northeast), while they fell (with a slope of À0.15 mm/decade) in the southern regions. But the high values of evaporation in summer have increased in most of the stations (the highest trend slope, 0.15 mm/decade). In contrast, high levels of evaporation in autumn and winter grew at a rapid rate in the eastern part of the province (the highest slope according to season, 0.15 and 0.2 mm/decade), but they declined in the western half (the highest slope, À0.1 and À0.15 mm/decade, respectively). In general, there was a significant decreasing trend for evaporation, mostly in the western half, but there was an increasing trend, mostly in the eastern half of the province. Significant increases in daily evaporation, particularly during the dry season, will diminish water supplies, destabilize the agricultural sector, and eventually desertify the area.

Identifying the causes in uencing the variations of the subsurface water level, such as meteorological drought, is one approach for monitoring these uctuations. In the present study, the effect of two meteorological drought indices SPI and SPEI on the uctuations of the underground water level was evaluated, as was their relationship with the drought index of the subsurface water level (SWI) using multivariate linear regression and M5 decision tree regression. After calculating climatic and hydrological drought indicators in a 6-month time window for a long-term statistical period (1989-2018), the semi-deep aquifers of Golestan province, which is located in northern Iran, were considered as a research location for this purpose. The results demonstrated that the effect of meteorological drought does not immeddergiately manifest in the changes of the subsurface water table and the hydrological drought index. By adding the meteorological drought index with a 6-month lag step, the average air temperature, and the total rainfall from the previous 6 months as new variables, the correlation with the SWI index increases, so that in the best-case scenario, the M5 decision tree model provides the best result in predicting the SWI index. The second half of the year yielded a coe cient of determination of 0.92 and an error value of RMSE = 0.27 for the SPEI index. Among the meteorological drought indicators, the SPEI index, which is based on precipitation and evapotranspiration, created a stronger link with the SWI index, which highlights the signi cance of potential evapotranspiration. It is a warning that, as a result of global warming, subsurface water tables in this region may fall in the future.

Multiple linear regression models were applied in estimating river flow in several studies due to their straightforwardness and appropriate interpretation of results. In this study, to overcome the limitations of the multiple linear regression model, the Bayesian quantile regression model was used to estimate the river flow volume as a function of rainfall and temperature, and the results were compared. The data and information used for the Qareh-Sou basin in northern Iran are of substantial environmental and socioeconomic importance. Five data series, including spring, summer, autumn, winter, and annual series, were created and used for this study. It was found that the Bayesian quantile regression model has considerable flexibility to model the volume of flow for different quantiles, predominantly upper and lower quantiles, and can be used to model high and low flows. With increasing the values of quantiles, a limited decreasing pattern in the effect of rainfall on the volume of flow was identified, which can be due to increasing the effect of other factors in the formation of extreme flows of the river. For summer data in high quantiles, the effect of rainfall on river flow volume shows an increasing pattern. This pattern is different from the other studied series, which may be due to the low base flow in summer. The results confirm that the application of Bayesian quantile regression compared to multiple linear regression leads to much more valuable information on the impact of rainfall and temperature on river flow volume.
