The modification of the surface velocity field of the weakly undulating flow in a reach of the Suquía River (Córdoba city, Argentina) due to the placement of a bridge was investigated in a physical model. Measurements using Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry (LSPIV) allowed evaluating how the hydraulic structure changes the size, shape, wavelength, and relative position to river centerline of the wave train downstream of the first ridge of the weak undular jump. Analysis and discussion of results in terms of the dimensionless parameters reported in the literature (obtained from laboratory studies) are offered. Results show that LSPIV is a reliable, fast low-cost tool to gather valuable information regarding the surficial flow field at the physical model scale in the presence of a weakly undular flow.

Prioritization of groundwater (GW) blocks and identification of factors affecting declining trends (DTs) in seasonal GW are essential to know where and why GW management strategies need to be applied. GW scarcity is observed in the eastern part of Rajasthan, India, in which the Bharatpur division is situated. Thus, in the present study, two innovative approaches are applied for the prioritization of GW blocks and identifying factors affecting DTs in seasonal GW (1994–2018) of each block in districts of the Bharatpur division, Rajasthan. Prioritization of aforesaid GW blocks is performed by using trend analyses in aforesaid TS, while identification of factors affecting DTs in aforesaid TS is performed by analyzing trends in mean temperature (MNTEMP) and rainfall (RF). The results showed that in most of the blocks, GW is found to be declining due to decreasing RF and increasing MNTEMP. The aforesaid approaches are universally applicable.

Globally, surface water sources are important sources of drinking water and knowledge on their availability and sustainability is important for their protection. Such studies in data-poor regions are very limited. This paper compares the performance of SWAT and HEC-HMS in the event and continuous modeling of rainfall–runoff in two tropical catchments, a low laying and a mountainous one. Model calibration and validation were done using observed streamflow data at Busiu station for Manafwa and at Sezibwa falls for Sezibwa for the period 2000–2013. The results were compared based on objective functions and also the t-test was used to test the statistical significance of the difference in performance. The results show that HEC-HMS performed better than SWAT in Manafwa catchment (p = .003 and p = .000 during calibration and validation, respectively) while in Sezibwa the difference in model performance was not statistically significant (p = .63) although, during calibration, HEC-HMS performed better (p = .01).

An application of a large-scale PIV technique on a scaled hydraulic model of a hydroelectric powerplant was performed. A detailed study regarding the relationship between the tracer size (paper confetti) and the spatial resolution settings of the statistical correlation program was carried out. The validated parameters and operational procedures were used for the flow characterization in two areas: the spillway approaching area and the tailrace channel. The larger tracer (10 mm diameter) performed better. The manual particle seeding showed to produce negative bias effects in velocity measurements, due to particle agglomeration. The low-cost measurements resulted in velocity field information of a resurgence flow in the tailrace channel measured with only 10 pairs of images. The study showed, as a proof of concept, that hydraulic model studies could easily be complemented with LS-PIV techniques providing spatial and temporal variations of velocity fields for flow analysis with advantages against intrusive point-based measurement techniques.
