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 'The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones'

(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....) Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam.

Thread '(Unprecedented?) Cluster of earthquakes in Greek islands'

These last days, there is a seemingly endless cluster of rather powerful earthquakes close to the islands of Santorini, Amorgos, Anafi, and Ios. Remember, this is a highly volcanically active region, Santorini especially being famous for the supervolcanic eruption which is conjectured to have led to the decline of the Minoan civilization: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_eruption To grasp the scale of what is happening, between the 26th of January and the 9th of February, 12000...
