The stacked model obtained 100% accuracy on the testing data when using the decision tree classifier as the meta model. This study has been cross validated five-fold and will help researchers working in in-situ water bodies detection with the use of stacked model classification....
Chitinophilic fungi in various types of water bodies (slough, pond, beach pool, two lakes and two rivers) were studied. Samples of water were collected every other month for hydrochemical analysis and once a month ( 1992 - 1994) in order to determine the fungus content. The wings of ...
Based on water bodies, and routes catering to maritime or waterborne traffic, marine transport is of the following types: LATEST VIDEOS River:This is a local form of water transport. Rivers are shallow freshwater bodies that may span varying lengths. Riverine transportation further comes under the ...
Lakes are considered still water. They can have waves, but because the waves are not large or controlled by the moon, they are considered still waters. Lakes also do not flow like a river or stream. All Hydrosphere Topics Bodies of Water ...
Pluvial floodsoccur when extreme rainfall creates flooding independent of overflowing water bodies. They can happen in urban or rural areas, even without nearby bodies of water. There are two common types of pluvial flooding: Surface water floodsoccur when urban drainage systems are overwhelmed, causi...
Even today, many laws are formulated at national and international levels to prevent the pollution of water bodies; however, enforcing them remains a challenge. Tackling Ocean Pollution- What can we do? Many contaminants and pollutants like plastic are non-biodegradable and remain in the oceans for...
Slow on-set floods This kind is usually a result of water bodies flooding their banks. They tend to develop slowly and can last for days and weeks. They usually spread over many kilometers and occur more in flood plains (fields prone to floods in low-lying areas). The effect of this ...
it requires perfect timing and a good deal of strength. During the stroke, the legs move together in a dolphin kick (imagine a mermaid), the arms move together to push the water downward and backward, and the torso undulates like an earthworm as the body moves forward through the water....
Water Pollution: Types, Causes, Sources Water pollution is described as the release of pollutants into bodies of water that render them unsafe to drink and harm aquatic ecosystems. Various contaminants, such as hazardous trash, gasoline, and pathogenic bacteria, can pollute water. Water, a renewabl...
In cold temperatures, bodies of water are often frozen. Heavy precipitation can cause chunks of ice to push together and create a dam in what is known as ice jam flooding. Behind the dam, water begins to pile up, spilling over to the plains nearby. Eventually, the wall of ice breaks, ...
