Vulnerability of Watersheds to Climate Change Assessed by Neural Network and Analytical Hierarchy Process

by Uttam Roy, Mrinmoy Majumder ...

Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
The increase in GHG gases in the atmosphere due to expansions in industrial and vehicular concentration is attributed to warming of the climate world wide. The resultant change in climatic pattern can induce abnormalities in the hydrological cycle. As a result, the regular functionality of river watersheds will also be affected. This Brief highlights a new methodology to rank the watersheds in ... Read more

Impact of Climate Change on Hydro-Energy Potential

A MCDM and Neural Network Approach

by Apu K Saha, Mrinmoy Majumder ...

Series series Energy (R0)
This Brief presents the impact of climatic abnormalities on hydropower potential of different regions of the World. In this regard, multi-criteria decision making and neural network are used to predict the impact of the change cognitively by an index. The results from the study show that the hydro-energy potential of the Asian region is mostly vulnerable with respect to other regions of the World. ... Read more
