A method is proposed for routing spatially distributed excess precipitation over a watershed to produce runoff at its outlet. The land surface is represented by a (raster) digital elevation model from which the stream network is derived. A routing response function is defined for each digital elevation model cell so that water movement from cell to cell can be convolved to give a response funct...

When depth of flow past a river bridge exceeds opening under the bridge, the flow under the bridge becomes pressurized. The water is directed downward and under the bridge deck, causing increase in velocity and shear stress on the bed thereby increasing bed scour. This is termed as Pressure Flow Scour. The present study investigates the phenomenon of pressure flow scour resulting from a submerg...

Temperature and precipitation from 16 climate models each using two emissions scenarios (lower B1 and mid-high A2) were used to characterize the range of potential climate changes for the Rio Lempa basin of Central America during the middle (2040–2069) and end (2070–2099) of the 21st century. A land surface model was applied to investigate the hydrologic impacts of these changes, focusing on in...

3D hydrological modeling was performed, using CATHY (acronym for CATchment HYdrology model), with the basic objective of checking whether the model could reproduce the effects of subsurface agricultural drainage on stream flows and soil water storage. The model was also used to further our understanding of the impact of soil hydrodynamic properties on watershed hydrology. Flows simulated by CAT...

Hydrograph modeling and prediction of groundwater levels are the main concerns of most hydrogeological calculations and water resource management process. The present study is an application of Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGSim) method for predicting groundwater levels using recorded monthly data (180 months) related to 21 piezometers of Behbahan aquifer, southwest of Iran. To generate real...

Hydraulic and hydrologic analysis in urban catchments is typically accompanied by a number of uncertainties, such as a lack of required information for modeling purposes or complex loops inside a drainage network. In this article, Gibbs’ stochastic network model is utilized in order to achieve a dendritic network that corresponds to a fully looped network in terms of the peak of the runoff hydr...

Abstract Floods occur due to several factors including topographic conditions, high rainfall intensity, blockage of water flow, lack infiltration areas, deforestation, and so on. The Tojo watershed is included in the Parigi-Poso river area, with an area 211,830 km2 a length 25.52 km. In watershed, it necessary study flooding, because always flows every year. This research aims find out how much...
