The Muskingum-Cunge flood routing procedure has been incorporated into the Natural Resources Conservation Service Technical Release 20 (TR-20) hydrologic model. The TR-20 model is an event watershed hydrologic model used to analyze impacts of watershed changes (land use, reservoir construction, channel modification, etc) on volume of runoff and peak discharge. Rainfall runoff modeling is very i...
This paper describes the use of a genetic algorithm to solve a hydrology design problem determining an optimal prescription of Best Management Practices in a flood-prone watershed. The result is an interactive tool for hydrology engineers that can be used to explore the effects of water retention and infiltration devices as an alternative to traditional storm sewers. The model has proved capabl...
Nonpoint source pollution control and stormwater management are two objectives in managing mixed land use watersheds like those in New Jersey. Various best management practices (BMPs) have been developed and implemented to achieve both objectives. This study assesses the cost-effectiveness of selected BMPs for agricultural nonpoint source pollution control and stormwater management in the Nesha...
In coupled social–ecological systems, the same driving forces can result in combined social and environmental health inequities, hazards, and impacts. Policies that decrease social inequities and improve social cohesion, however, also have the potential to improve health outcomes and to minimize and offset the drivers of ecosystem change. Actions that address both biophysical and social environ...
A 155,947 ha portion of the Shenango River watershed in western Pennsylvania was evaluated as to the potential impact of agriculture drainage on water quality. Approximately a third of the area is being used as either cropland or pasture with approximately an equal percentage in forest lands. Eleven subwatersheds were evaluated as to their potential for nonpoint source pollution according to th...
A watershed management program is usually based on the results of watershed modeling. Accurate modeling results are decided by the appropriate parameters and input data. Rainfall is the most important input for watershed modeling. Precipitation characteristics, such as rainfall intensity and duration, usually exhibit significant spatial variation, even within small watersheds. Therefore, proper...
The DHARMA domain-specific middleware system is intended to allow hydrologic field engineers to tackle water-management problems on a scale previously impossible without sophisticated computational management systems. DHARMA provides automatic data acquisition via the Internet; data fusion from online, local, and cached resources; smart caching of intermediate results; parallel process executio...
Saturation excess is a major runoff process in humid regions such as the US Northeast. Topographic index (TI) is used to simulate the pattern of runoff-contributing areas following a saturation excess runoff process. Although TI is useful to delineate saturated areas, i.e., hydrologically sensitive areas, for taking spatially distinctive actions in watersheds for improving water quality, local ...
