| Water has remained a concern and a source of conflict in the Middle East since the dawn of civilization. Traditional sources of water have been taxed by the growth of populations in the area and their accompanying problems of pollution, waste, improper operation of water facilities, and poor cooperation between countries sharing common, but limited, water resources. With a population of nearly 170 million and growth rates between 1.6 and ... |

| Two variations of a discontinuous Galerkin method are investigated for the primitive form of the time-dependent, 2-D, depth-averaged conservation of mass equation for shallow water. Linear approximating functions are employed, which are defined locally on each element, providing three degrees of freedom per element. In the first method, the degrees of freedom are the nodal values for each element. Analytical integration rules are developed to evaluate the volume integrals, and ... |
