چکیده مقاله:

Flood is one of the most calamitous natural disasters that causes extensive property and life damages across theworld. It however, could be a blessing due to its special natural water resources recharging value. By simulating themagnitude of probable floods considering the anthropogenic and natural effects and implementing contingency plans,their damages could be reduced. In this paper, the General Circulation Model (GCM) climate change scenarios areemployed to simulate future floods. The GCM scenarios include simulation of climatic signals of the futureconsidering green house gas emission forces. In this study a statistical downscaling model (SDSM) has been appliedfor rainfall downscaling to provide regional results from GCM outputs. Then, a rainfall-runoff model called HECHMShas been employed to estimate runoff in the region. The maximum simulated rainfall for each year that is ofhigh enough potential to cause flood, is introduced into the rainfall-runoff model to simulate the plausiblehydrograph of the flood. The proposed procedure is applied to the Kajoo River basin in South Baloochestan region,south-east of Iran.

Flood Flow Frequency Model Selection Using L-moment Method in Arid and Semi Arid Regions of Iran

Statistical frequency analysis is the most common procedure for the analysis of flood data at a gauged location thatin first step it is needed to select a model to represent the population. Among them, the central moment has been themost common and widely used, and with the using of computers, the application of the maximum likelihood hasincreased. This research was carried out in order to reco...

Flood-Runoff in Semi-Arid and Sub-Humid Regions, a Case Study: A Simulation of Jianghe Watershed in Northern China

This paper presents a modeling application of surface runoff using the Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS). A case study was carried out for the Jianghe watershed, a typical semi-arid and sub-humid geo-climatic region in northern China. Two modeling schemes using different descriptive sub-mechanism models provided by HEC-HMS for runoff volume, direct runoff and routing (channel flow) were inv...

The Landscape as a Unit for Rangeland Inventory in Arid and Semi-arid Regions of Iran

Severe range degradation was critically extended in many region of Iran and caused many rangelands were restricted and interwoven with croplands in a complex system. Therefore, rangeland planning and inventory as an isolated activity has become almost impossible. Current landscape planning involves contributions of different social organizations often with different interests and with different...

Trend analysis and detection of precipitation fluctuations in arid and semi-arid regions

The most important impacts of climate change relate to temperature and precipitation. Precipitation is particularly important, because changes in precipitation patterns may lead to floods or droughts in different areas. Also, precipitation is a major factor in agriculture and in recent years interest has increased in learning about precipitation variability for periods of months to annual and s...
