Abstract. Backwater effects in surface water streams and on adjacent lowland areas caused by mostly complex drainage flow control structures are not directly computed with hydrological approaches yet. A solution to this weakness modelling is presented article. The developed method enables transfer of discharges into levels calculation backwater volume routing along balancing level slopes. imple...

Flooding is an international problem that represents the most common and destructive of all weather-related natural hazards. Moreover, man-made interventions such as deforestation, clearance of land and the poor design of hydraulic works such as bridges and culverts can often intensify that risk. This paper demonstrates a complete hydraulic study that was performed in a culvert located in Lofor...

Due to the immense damage caused by dam failure, especially dams constructed near large cities, it is necessary to consider the breaking phenomena as well as studying and designing different parts of the dam. For this purpose, the hydrograph of the outflow due to dam failure must be identified according to size of the fracture and then flood routing, and flood zone must be determined based on t...

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...

computing or determining the amount of maximum flood debit in watershed is one of the main important parts of hydrological research in river improvement. in this regard it is necessary to be distinguished peak of flood flow and its hydrograph for favorable return period. this needs to have long time statistic and leminograph tools in study research area. in this study with the comparison of ava...
