Miami "King Tides" are a regular phenomenna now

King tides which was a irregular phenomena in Miami is now seems to be a regular one.The experts are blaming the climate change for this.But a phenomenna like this which is caused by gravitational force without the assistance of rainfall.

How climate change can effect that ???

One reason can be attributed to the increased frequency of storms and rainfall;rise in sea level which is influenced by the climate change can add to the tidal flow.The erosion in the river banks and the sedimentation that may have reduced the depth of the water canals can also attributed for this frequent king tides not only in Miami but also in the other places of the World.

But still blaming only the change in climate for king tides is not justified.

Five most significant findings of the week related to water resources

"Sediment cores taken from the Southern Ocean dating back 23 million years are providing insight into how ancient methane escaping from the seafloor could have led to regional or global climate and environmental changes, according to a new study." Click here "Scientists analyzing one of the largest genomic datasets of plants have discovered how the first plants on Earth evolved the mechanisms used to control water and 'breathe' on land hundreds of millions of years ago. The study has important implications in understanding how to plant water transport systems have evolved and how these might adapt in the future in response to climate change." Click here "A new analysis of the River Ganges in West Bengal, India, highlights how wastewater flowing into the river impacts its water quality, and how that influences shifts with seasons and tides."

Five free statistics software that you can use in Water Resource Research

Statistics is an essential part of water resource research. But presently all the popular statistical software is expensive and for a student or individual researcher, it is nearly impossible to procure such software. For example, the cost of the most popular statistical software is as given below : Statista ($59 per month,billed annually) Sigma XL : $299.00 USD(Single Licence) IBM SPSS Statistics ($99 per user per month) JMP : $1200 Minitab : $1610.00 USD(Single User Annual Subscription) There are many other paid software programs that offer various statistical analyses, such as Origin Pro and Stata, but their prices vary depending on location, number of users, and other factors. That is why they ask you to request a quote, and upon receipt of your request, they will provide you with a quotation based on your specific requirement. An individual researcher, on the other hand, cannot afford such a high price. As a result, we must rely on grants or institutes to obtain this software.

Lecture Series on Flood Routing : Part III

Level Pool Routing Hydrologic Routing for Reservoir or Level Pool Routing Hydrologic routing predicts the flow of water through a river system, whereas level pool routing focuses on the changes in water levels in reservoirs or lakes. However, Level Pool Routing is referred to as Hydrologic Routing of the Reservoirs as the water level of the reservoir is assumed to be horizontal or level at the time of prediction of the outflow hydrograph. Understanding and managing water resources in a variety of settings, from metropolitan regions to natural landscapes, requires the use of both approaches. Taking into account several elements that can affect water flow, such as precipitation, evaporation, and runoff, is a crucial part of hydrologic routing. Hydrologists can develop models that mimic how water flows through a river system in various scenarios by examining these variables. Predicting floods, controlling water supply, and safeguarding ecosystems that depend on a constant flow of water al
