AI Thread Summary
Subterranean channel water profiles, particularly in qanat systems, are crucial for communities in hot, arid climates that rely on these ancient water supply methods. Understanding the factors that influence flow rates and water depth is essential for optimizing the efficiency of qanats. The paper titled "Modeling of water surface profile in subterranean channel by differential quadrature method (DQM)" published in Applied Mathematical Modelling discusses these dynamics in detail, providing insights into the modeling techniques used to analyze water profiles in such systems. This research is significant for improving water management strategies in arid regions. The paper can be accessed through ScienceDirect.

(First:my english speaking and writingis not good.sorry) i read a paper about Qanat water profile (Modeling of water surface profile in subterranean channel by DQM) and i have a question about it:
what is the application of subterranean channel water profiles? where is it usefull?in where?

Many communities in hot, arid climates depend upon qanats for their water supply. I imagine that knowing what controls flow rates, water depth etc in such systems would be important to ensure they are used with maximum efficiency. Perhaps you could provide a link to the paper you mentioned.

Thread 'Landslide, tsunami, seiche in Tracy Arm fjord, Alaska - 10 August 2025'

On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord. Technically it was a seiche.

Thread 'Could an external cosmic body have influenced Earth’s geology?'

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
