Multi-model forecasting: Using gene expression programming to develop explicit equations for rainfall-runoff modelling combinations

Fernando, Achela; Abrahart, Robert; Shamseldin, Asaad (European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2009, 2009)

Two previous studies have evaluated eight multi-model forecasting strategies that combined hydrological forecasts for contrasting catchments: the River Ouse in Northern England and the Upper River Wye in Central Wales. The ...
Perception of barriers to career progression by women engineers and engineering students

Fernando, Achela (ICWES 15: 15th International Conference for Women Engineers and Scientists, 2011)

Although the common view that engineering is best suited for men is changing, there is anecdotal evidence suggesting gender imbalance in the engineering industry. Efforts take place throughout New Zealand to encourage ...
Use of hydraulic modelling to aid decision making in the management of Oakley Creek

Fernando, Achela; Gebreselasie, Bruck; Capiral, Jacinto (2010 International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software Modelling for Environment’s Sake, 2010)

This paper presents how a hydrodynamic Modelling study can be used to maximise the collective efforts from the stakeholders to enhance the protection of a riparian environment. A hydraulic model of a sensitive part of the ...
Investigation of the internal functioning of the radial basis function neural network river flow forecasting models

Fernando, Achela; Shamseldin, Asaad (Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 2009)

This paper deals with the challenging problem of hydrological interpretation of the internal functioning of ANNs by extracting knowledge from their solutions. The neural network used in this study is based on the structure ...
Comparison of planning and consenting procedures for water resources projects in Sri Lanka and New Zealand

Fernando, Achela; Werellagame, Induka B. (4th Conference of the Asia Pacific Association of Hydrology and Water Resources, 2008)

This paper compares and contrasts dam & reservoir water resources development projects between a developing and a developed country taking into consideration the drivers, approval processes, potential conflicts among ...
The effect of the raingauge distribution on stormwater models

Cooper, M.R.; Fernando, Achela (18th World IMACS Congress and MODSIM09 International Congress on Modelling and Simulation, 2009)

It is well known that the accurate representation of spatial variation of rainfall within a catchment is important in achieving reliable outcomes from stormwater models. Various guidelines recommend different densities of ...
Use of GIS to rationalise pressure in water supply systems

Fernando, Achela; Zhang, Xiujuan; Brown, N. (Rainwater and Urban Design 2007, 2007)

Water is a valuable resource needing conservation. Excessive water pressure in water distribution systems causes leakages leading to substantial losses of treated water. It also places additional strain on networks reducing ...
Use of a supercomputer to advance parameter optimisation using genetic algorithms

Fernando, Achela; Jayawardena, Amithirigala (Journal of Hydroinformatics, 2007)

Parameter optimisation is a significant but time consuming process that is inherent to conceptual hydrological models representing rainfall-runoff process. This study presents two modifications to achieve optimised results ...
An evidence-based predictive tool for motivating engagement, completion, and success in freshmen engineering students

Fernando, Achela; Mellalieu, Peter (22nd Annual Conference of the Australasian Association for Engineering Education, 2011)

In general, teachers deploy several methods to encourage their students to engage early with their learning during their course of study. These methods include: presentation of previous years’ pass/fail rates; feedback ...
Ecosensitive stormwater system design for sub-division

Fernando, Achela; Iszard, Mark; Islam, Nazrul (5th South Pacific Stormwater Conference, 2007)

Stormwater management is a contentious aspect of development in the 21st century. Although hydrological neutrality before and after a development is sought, it is acknowledged that any alterations to land form result in a ...
