This work develops a new two-dimensional depth-integrated non-hydrostatic model for wave propagation simulation using a weighted average linear/quadratic non-hydrostatic pressure profile. The model is constructed by modifying an existing non-hydrostatic discontinuous/continuous Galerkin finite element model with a linear vertical non-hydrostatic pr...
Conference Paper
Río Chiriquí Viejo Watershed (Basin No. 108) in Chiriquí, Panama, represents a crucial ecological and socioeconomic region facing many challenges, including environmental degradation, social issues, economic pressures, and infrastructure shortcomings. This study aims to thoroughly assess the basin’s current condition, focusing on its natural and cl...

Isotopic and nuclear techniques are indispensable in many fields, including health, industry, food, and agriculture. The techniques discussed, collectively known as fallout radionuclide, fingerprint, and isotope hydrology, are currently being employed to characterize and assess phenomena that could potentially degrade soil and water resources. Give...

The isotopic and nuclear techniques discussed, namely: Fallout Radionuclide, Fingerprint, and Isotope Hydrology, are linked to the evaluation of soil and water degradation processes. A traditional literature review was conducted to gain the most comprehensive understanding of both the current state of the art and the subject matter, with the aim of...

La ampliación del Canal de Panamá ha provocado un incremento en el volumen de agua destinado a sus operaciones, además de un aumento en los niveles mínimos operativos. El objetivo de esta investigación es estudiar el impacto de la ampliación en las confiabilidades hídricas y de calado del Canal de Panamá utilizando la herramienta HEC-ResSim®. Un mo...

Sedimentation processes have negative socioeconomic and environmental consequences. The Compound-Specific Stable Isotopes (CSSI) technique allows for the evaluation of sediment inputs associated with different land use changes in a study region. In the present work, this technique was used in the Alhajuela Lake sub-basin, within the Panama Canal Wa...

Sedimentation processes have negative socioeconomic and environmental consequences, ranging from eutrophication phenomena, loss of water quality in surface water bodies, effects on the potential for hydroelectric generation, etc. Frequently, anthropic activity is the main cause that enhances these processes through changes in land use that can lead...
Article
Full-text available
The present paper places emphasis on the most widely used Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approaches, namely the Eulerian and Lagrangian methods each of which is characterized by specific advantages and disadvantages. In particular, a weakly compressible smoothed particle (WCSPH) model, coupled with a sub-particle scale (SPS) approach for turbul...

This paper presents a new depth-integrated non-hydrostatic finite element model for simulating wave propagation, breaking and runup using a combination of discontinuous and continuous Galerkin methods. The formulation decomposes the depth-integrated non-hydrostatic equations into hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic parts. The hydrostatic part is solved...

This study deals with the potential use of water stored in a lake formed by Reocín’s old zinc mine, which has become the second most important reservoir in Cantabria, with a flow of 1300 L s−1. The methodology used is based on the hydrogeological and hydrochemical characterization of the area studied. A total of 16 piezometers were installed to mon...

Resumen-Un modelo de elementos finitos no hidrostático integrado en la profundidad para la propagación y transformación del oleaje en zonas costeras fue desarrollado con suceso a partir del modelo hidrostático SisBahia®. El modelo utiliza elementos finitos cuadrilaterales cuadráticos para la aproximación de las velocidades horizontales y elementos...

This paper presents an evaluation of different projects for new water sources in the Panama Canal using the HEC-ResSim® program for simulating the reservoir systems. The HEC-ResSim® models of the reservoir systems were used to evaluate the discharges in spillways during the rainy months, hydroelectric generation at Gatun and Alhajuela Lakes, volume...

The Panama Canal is building two new sets of locks on the Atlantic and Pacific as part of its expansion program. The new locks will have three steps with three water-saving basins at each step that will save 60% of the water used in each lockage operation. This article discusses the design procedure of the filling and emptying system of the new Pan...

Understanding the relationship between rainfall, and stream flow in mountain terrain requires the quantifying of rates of water movement into and through regolith covered hillslopes. General theory holds that infiltration rates in humid tropical are higher than rainfall intensities so surface runoff is minimal. However, soil profile characteristics...

Soil hydrologcal processes determine how precipitation is partitioned into infiltration, runoff, evapotranspiration, and ground water recharge in the upper Río Chagres basin. The focus of this study is to investigate the soil hydrological processes by which precipitation excess on first order drainage basins enters the streams feeding the upper Río...

The upper Río Chagres basin is a part of the Panama Canal Watershed. The least known water balance component of this watershed is evapotranspiration. Measurements of actual evapotranspiration rates on the ground are difficult and expensive. The objective of this study is to demonstrate a new inexpensive method for determination of regional evapotra...

This paper describes the evolution of water supply management in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region and its surrounding areas. The formulation and the application of a multicriteria decision-making process to select a final planning alternative is also described. The physical, social and financial complexities of water management in this region sugg...

Full-text available
The multiobjective analysis applied to water resources systems makes possible the consideration of other aspects beyond the economic efficiency of the projects. The ambiental, social and regional impacts of the works can be included in the planning process by multiobjective analysis. Four multiobjective analysis techniques are analised in this work...
