A methodology is developed to relate urban growth studies to distributed hydrological modeling using an integrated approach of remote sensing and GIS. This linkage is possible because both studies share land-use and land-cover data. Landsat Thematic Mapper data are utilized to detect urban land-cover changes. GIS analyses are then conducted to examine the changing spatial patterns of urban grow...

Rainfall-Runoff is the most important hydrological variables used in most of the water resources applications. Watershed based planning and management requires thorough understanding hydrological process and accurate estimation of runoff. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) methodology was employed to forecast daily runoff for the Kadam watershed of G-5 sub-basin of Godavari river basin. On the ...

Runoff estimation in ungauged catchments is probably one of the most basic and oldest tasks of hydrologists. This long-standing issue has received increased attention recently due to the PUB (Prediction in Ungauged Basins) initiative. Given the challenges of predicting runoff for ungauged catchments one might argue that the best course of action is to take a few runoff measurements. In this stu...

The paper outlines recent and ongoing research addressing the quantification of river flood frequencies at ungauged sites across Britain. The approach is one of modelling continuous time series of catchment runoff. Model parameters are established where data permit: the spatial generalisation to ungauged sites is effected by relating model parameters to widely available catchment properties whi...

estimation of parameters of a hydrologic model is undertaken using a procedure called “calibration” in order to obtain predictions as close as possible to observed values. this study aimed to use the particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm for automatic calibration of the hec-hms hydrologic model, which includes a library of different event-based models for simulating the rainfall-runoff pr...

The surface water is a reflection of the climatic and topographical conditions basin in study area, affects estimation amount runoff on inside basin. It also possible to measure running know periods increase, scarcity this quantity, other hand, take advantage from for all fields uses. Qalachwalan one basins located at north city Sulaymaniyah with an area (876.1) km2, its sources are within bord...
