Today, global climatic issues and the water security problems resulting from the increasing water demand for hydropower and agricultural purposes from the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, in the Middle East, are quite important. The Snowmelt Runoff Model (SRM) was applied to the Karasu basin located in the upper Euphrates River drainage basin, in order to simulate and forecast the runoff from snow melting. A second study covered the application of the hydrological model SLURP-11 at a smaller scale. In combination these would enable early prediction of runoff from rainfall and snowmelt using snowmelt runoff estimation models coupled with Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies. The final aim of this study is to compare the results of the models SRM and SLURP, although applied on basins of different scales. Finally, conclusions are made about which kind of hydrological models are suitable for different basin characteristics and sizes.

Investigation of the snow-cover dynamics in the Upper Euphrates Basin of Turkey using remotely sensed snow-cover products and hydrometeorological data Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Beser, Ozgur (2011-11-15) The Euphrates and Tigris rivers serve as the most important water resources in the Middle East. Precipitation in this region falls mostly in the form of snow over the higher elevations of the Euphrates Basin and remains on the ground for nearly half of the year. This snow-covered area (SCA) is a key element of the hydrological cycle, and monitoring the SCA is crucial for making accurate forecasts of snowmelt discharge, especially for energy production, flood control, irrigation, and reservoir-operation opti...
Analysis of extreme rainfall trend and mapping of the Wadi pluvial flood in the Gaza coastal plain of Palestine Al-Najjar, Hassan; Purnama, Anton; Özkan, Korhan; Abualtayef, Mazen (2022-09-01) In the eastern Mediterranean region of the Middle East and North Africa, pluvial flooding has become a common and severe climate change consequence event that requires immediate attention. The Wadi-Gaza basin is a critical source of surface water in Palestine; nevertheless, climate change and anthropogenic processes are altering the basin's hydrological features, resulting in a series of extreme and disastrous flooding events in the coastal plain at the basin downstream. The Mann-Kendall test, Sen's slope e...
Investigation Of Waterhammer Problems In Çamlidere Dam - İvedik Water Treatment Plant Pipeline At Various Hydraulic Conditions Sakabaş, Emre; Bozkuş, Zafer; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) Çamlıdere Dam supplies significant portion of the potable water demand of the City of Ankara. Consequently, it is very important that the pipelines extending over 60 km between the dam and the treatment plant at İvedik operate continuously. At present, two composite parallel lines are in operation and construction of a third line is considered for the future. It is the aim of this study to investigate the water hammer problems to be expected under various scenarios and also suggest the safe operation condit...
Numerical assessment of seawater intrusion in the Tripoli region, Libya Sadeg, SA; Karahanoğlu, Nurkan (2001-08-01) Libya has experienced progressive seawater intrusion in the coastal aquifers since 1930s because of its ever increasing water demand from underground water resources. Tripoli City and its hinterland are located in the coastal region of the Gefara Plain, where the agricultural activity entirely depends on rainfall and groundwater. In recent years, the risk of seawater intrusion is continuously threatening coastal parts of the Gefara Plain that form one of the economically most significant area in the country...
Contamination risk assessment for groundwater of the Kucuk Menderes River basin, Izmir, Turkey Pusatli, OT; Camur, MZ; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2000-04-01) A new water management plan is needed for the Kucuk Menderes River basin in Turkey, due to increasing water demand and decreasing quality of the groundwater. Vulnerability, quality and risk assessments were performed using a hybrid model containing both hydrogeological and hydrochemical parameters for managing irrigation waters in the basin. The relative contamination (quality) distribution of groundwater at present was established using an irrigation water quality index. The distribution shows the contamin...
