ABSTRACT During voluntary or involuntary spills, the total dissolved gas (TDG) may increase with potential of causing gas bubble disease (GBD) in affected fish. Bubbles entrained during spill events in Colider are transported by plunging jets to deep, high pressure, regions in the tailrace where dissolution is enhanced increasing TDG concentrations. The most common alternative to minimize TDG supersaturation downstream of hydropower dams is to install deflectors on the spillway face. In order to reduce TDG levels downstream of the Colider's spillway, Copel retrofitted the four spillway bays with deflectors, finalizing the construction in November 2021. The design of the deflectors were assisted with two studies. The first study comprised the development of a physical model in 1:60 scale, and other study was a numerical model based on the open-source toolbox OpenFoam.

ABSTRACT Urban Water Systems (UWS) operate under a broad list of uncertainties. They usually depend on large amount of investments requiring long-term planning for a future full of changes with high degree of uncertainties (climate, social and economic). Many of these uncertainties do not have analytical representation neither they count on agreement among experts or decision makers concerning their influence in the performance of the UWS. The literature has named these changes as deep uncertainties (DU). This work presents a general approach to incorporate the influence of DU on planning and management processes of three types of UWS: 1) Water Supply Systems; 2) Drainage Systems and 3) Rainwater Harvesting Systems. The proposed framework defines steps toward the selection of the best policies and their evaluation in a broad set of scenarios. The particularities of each urban system led to adjustments in some steps of the general methodology. The approach proposed in this work was applied to a practical case, the Rainwater Harvesting Systems in the city of Ipameri, located in the State of Goiás, Brazil. The results highlight the impacts of DU factors on the system performance and reinforce this type of approach as a contribution towards adaptive planning for UWS.

ABSTRACT Climate scenarios are important information for water planning, but, in some cases, they disagree with recent climate alterations, which affects their robustness and reliability. Robustness evaluation can help identifying areas that should be prioritized by in water sector adaptation to climate change. Although crucial, this kind of analysis has been overlooked in most climate change assessments, for instance in South America. This study assesses the robustness and reliability of river discharge scenarios by comparing them with observed and modelled data. Areas where current changes and scenarios agree are more likely to experience changes and, therefore, water planners should pay special attention to them. Tocantins-Araguaia, São Francisco, Western Northeast Atlantic and upper La Plata basins agreed with a discharge decrease, indicating that climate change should be prioritized in planning. Orinoco and upper-western Amazon basins showed strong disagreement between recent and projected discharge alterations, with positive change in last decades, showing that scenarios in these regions should be carefully interpreted. With this, water planners could interpret Northeastern and upper-central South America as presenting more likely scenarios in comparison to Amazon and Orinoco basins.

ABSTRACT Among the main issues that may arise when evaluating studies of cascade dam ruptures, perhaps the most important, is to determine if the downstream dam can start into a cascade rupture, considering the hypothesis of the preliminary rupture of the upstream dam. This paper proposes a methodology to determine if a pair or a group of dams can fail in a cascade, suggesting a safe distance between them to avoid this effect. Additionally, this paper proposes a reunion with other researchers' methodologies in a step-by-step sequence, identifying when a cascade dam break is likely and should be included in the hypothetical dam break studies.

ABSTRACT The methodologies for determining aquifer vulnerabilities are currently used as tools to support proposals for the groundwater protection, associated to water management resources and planning and territorial ordination activities. In this context, the objective of this present work is the vulnerability assessment of an aquifer system of interest located in the municipality of Ananindeua, the state of Pará. To this end, the following activities were executed: survey and systematization of pertinent information to existing wells in the municipality of Ananindeua-PA; determination of the constituent parameters of the GOD method and the hydrogeological values of hydraulic conductivity and hydraulic transmissivity; extrapolating the pertinent information for all the interest area aiming the spatialization of homogeneous zones by degree of vulnerability e, finally, the hierarchization of locations for the implementation of water supply systems. With the completion of this present work, it was verified that most part of the area of interest has an aquifer system classified as unconfined, mixed lithological extracts and distance from the top to the water table less than 20 meters. These information, associated with the pattern of land use and occupation, based on the study of hydrogeologic values, enables the subsidy for decision-making regarding the most appropriate allocation of preventive investments with basic sanitation infrastructure, in order to minimize or nullify the associated risks of contamination in the referred area. However, to a better support for an efficient decision-making from the public managers and the actions of other social actors involved in the use and management of groundwater in the locality, it must be provided other information and complementary studies.

Abstract Assuming non-stationarity in flood frequency models is still controversial due to uncertainty in estimates. In this study, a hierarchical Bayesian framework for flood frequency analysis is presented without assuming the stationarity hypothesis. We account data and model uncertainty in all modelling steps and use the Pardo River, Brazil, as study case. Results showed the presence of increasing trends in floods in Pardo River. The stationary model underestimated floods compared to the non-stationary model. Physical-based covariates models performed better than time-based showing the importance of adding physical covariates to explain the trend behavior. The presented model is adaptable to other case. Finally, this study provided guidance for the flood recurrence estimation under non-stationary conditions.

ABSTRACT Non-Newtonian rheology effects, such as pseudoplasticity and viscoplasticity, are understood as shear stresses, incorporated to the energy slope term in the Shallow-Water Equations (SWE). However, non-Newtonian shear stresses are dependent of the shear rate, whose formulation is a function of the gradient of the velocity profile in the bottom. This study investigated two shear rate formulations that are commonly applied in the SWE literature: 1) a non-parameterized function; and 2) a function based on the Herschel-Bulkley rheological model. Their influence in steady uniform flows of non-Newtonian fluids was evaluated through numerical-theoretical comparisons. A Lax-Friedrichs scheme was implemented to solve the SWE system and allowed employing the shear rate formulations. Experimental tests were carried out and numerical simulations of hypothetical scenarios were performed. It was found that the non-parameterized formulation presented deviation in normal depth up to 14% in comparison with theoretical solution, while the formulation based on the Herschel-Bulkley model provided a good agreement, corroborated by punctual Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations (deviation less than 2%) and experimental data. The ratio of both shear rate formulations is strongly correlated to the deviation of normal depth, indicating that the non-parameterized shear rate function does not provide an acceptable result in the steady uniform flow.

ABSTRACT Aerator systems promote additional insertion of air into the flow and can reduce the risk of cavitation and consequent damage to hydraulic structures. This work analyzes the hydrodynamic pressures on the steps of a physical model (with a chute inclination of 53.13º) subjected to different aeration conditions. When comparing the results with different air intake coefficients in the flow, it was concluded that the incorporation of air does not change in a generalized way all the statistical parameters associated with hydrodynamic pressures on the steps. However, with the insertion of air in the flow, there was an increase in the minimum pressure values measured in the region of the jet impact and downstream. Empirical equations for predicting the distribution of pressures on the steps under induced aeration conditions were proposed, valid for structures whose ratio between the height of the deflector and the height of the steps is equal to 0.167, with an aerator system installed at the beginning of the stepped chute.

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to develop a methodology for analyzing the dynamics and maintenance of the water purification ecosystem service in the water bodies of the Guandu River Hydrographic Region, responsible for water supplying the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region, characterized by the presence of water transfers and low levels of effluent treatment. The dynamics of this service occurs through an ecosystem flow, influenced by the volume of water that moves from one region to another. The methodology consisted of reviewing studies of ecosystem flows, building a database, classifying impacts on water purification in hydrological planning units from a similarity dendrogram, analyzing indicators related to water demands and availability of these units, and developing an ecosystem flow diagram of water purification. The effects of transfers on the maintenance and flow of water purification were also analyzed from the comparison between the real scenario (which considers the presence of the existing hydraulic infrastructure) and the natural scenario (which disregards it). The results showed that the worst situation of maintenance of water purification is in the western part of the region, and the demands for it requires more than double the volume of withdrawn water to supply the local population and industry.

ABSTRACT Water management aims to ensure the water availability necessary to meet the current and future demand for water resources. For which it is essential to implement monitoring networks that support the investigation of events that interfere with the rainfall regime of watersheds, such the phases of the ocean-atmospheric phenomenon El Niño – Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The classification of the rainfall network was proposed according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) for 14 management watersheds in the Upper Parana River (UPR) region, Brazil. On the other hand, the spatial and temporal variability of annual rainfall was analyzed using geostatistical techniques and confronted with ENSO data. To this purpose, data from 408 stations were collected via the Hidroweb portal, for the period from 1990 to 2020. The low representativeness of data in the region was verified from the observational network. The areas with the lowest and highest rainfall reduction were the north and northwest regions of the UPR, and the areas surrounding the Paraná River, respectively. The years 2019 and 2020 were identified as the most critical period of the last 3 decades with below-average rainfall (-13.21%) in 49.55% of the studied area, indicating a persistence in the drought scenario.

The years 2019 and 2020 were identified as the most critical period of the last 3 decades with below-average rainfall (-13.21%) in 49.55% of the studied area, indicating a persistence in the drought scenario.","PeriodicalId":54151,"journal":{"name":"RBRH-Revista Brasileira de Recursos Hidricos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83236748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
