Computer applications to storm runoff prediction have revolutionized the watershed modeling techniques. In general, a watershed is modeled as a system with inputs and outputs (Chow 1964). A system can be lumped or distributed, depending upon the spatial and temporal characteristics of the design variables used in the model. A lumped parameter ignores the variability in space. On the other hand,...

The lack of hydrological data for urbanizing watersheds in developing countries is one of the challenges facing decision making. Msimbazi River is located in the city center of Dar es Salaam and is highly influenced by human activities; this includes dense populations that are characterized by informal settlements. The catchment is currently undergoing flooding, which triggers a dilemma in its ...

The present study was conducted in Baitarani basin up to Anandapur gauging station of Odisha covering an area 8603.7 km2. Pre-processing from digital elevation model (DEM) done using HEC-Geo-HMS extension and spatial analyst tool ArcGIS. These pre-processed files were then imported HEC-HMS for simulating runoff. In this study, runoff simulation two methods, viz., composite distributed curve num...

Fault tolerance measures like the CRC-based Header Error Control (HEC) algorithm in ATM can be used to reduce failure probabilities and by this enhance the performance/Quality of Service (QoS) of a transmission service. However, a detailed analysis of the applied algorithms is crucial for a system design that is well balanced with respect to the trade-off of redundancy cost and benefit. The ana...

rainfall-runoff modeling is most important component in the water resource management of river basins. the successful application of a conceptual rainfall-runoff model depends on how well it is calibrated. the degree of difficulty in solving the global optimization method is generally dependent on the dimensionality of the model and certain of the characteristics of object function. the purpose...

One of the major problems confronted by the hydrologists for many years is the prediction of runoff from a given basin for a known rainfall. In this situation, development of a rainfall runoff model is important in Veeranam tank catchment located at latitude 11° 15’00” and longitude 79° 30’00’ E in Cuddalore District of Tamilnadu, India. By considering the above said aspect the rainfall-runoff ...

Considering the importance of water and computing the amount of rainfall runoff resulted from precipitation in recent decades, using appropriate methods for predicting the amount of runoff from rainfall date has been really essential. Rainfall-runoff models are used to estimate runoff generated from precipitation in the catchment area. Rainfall-runoff process is totally a non-linear phenomenon....

With the acceleration of urbanization in a river basin, changes underlying surface structure basin are more and intense, which causes frequent floods. This article aims to analyze applicability HEC-HMS model flood simulation basins influence land use on catchment runoff. Pu River Basin is typical taken as research project. Based changes, soil types, long-term hydrological data Basin, constructe...

This paper shows the combined use of remotely sensed data and hydraulic geometry methods as an alternative to rainfall-runoff models. Hydraulic geometric data and boolean images of water sheets obtained from satellite images after storm events were integrated in a Geographical Information System. Channel cross-sections were extracted from a high resolution Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and superi...
