Local scouring around the bridges piers has always been considered as a problem, especially in rivers. If we do not take the necessary actions to avoid the occurrence of this phenomenon or to reduce its influence, then the bridge's piers will be destroyed. Placing the bridge piers' foundation far from the earth's surface will turn out in a plan which is not economic at all. Experimental studies...

The calculation of loss is vital for design flood estimation models and in order to estimate continuing loss (CL), proportional loss (PL) and volumetric runoff coefficient, the surface runoff has to be separated from the total given in a stream flow hydrograph. To obtain the volume of surface runoff from the streamflow hydrograph, baseflow separation becomes necessary and in this paper a few ba...

In this study we propose a multi-source data approach for quantifying long-term flooding and aquifer recharge in ungauged ephemeral rivers. The methodology is applied to the Buffels River, at 9000 km2 the largest ephemeral river in Namaqualand (NW South Africa), a region with scarce stream flow records limiting research investigating hydrological response to global change. Daily discharge and a...

A package of simulation models has been developed to study the hydrological processes controlling runoff and to predict flow hydrographs in the Indian arid zone. The models describe rainfall-runoff in the upland phase and the interaction between runoff and transmission losses in the channel phase, so as to derive the drainage basin outflow hydrograph. In the upland phase the rising limb of the ...

soil conservation service curve number method (scs-cn) is a widely applied technique for predicting direct runoff from rainfall has been used around the world. in this study, the curve number maps and entry physical model data of kheyrud basin to hec-hms model, the hec-geohms extension in arcgis software and google earth satellite images were used. in addition to the statistical analysis of sur...

Flood is one of the most important natural disasters affect China greatly, especially for southeast cities. To help mitigate the loss brought by it, technologies such as simulation, visualization, decision support system, etc. could be utilized in the process of emergency management for city flood. Thus the Flood Simulation and Decision Support System (FSDSS) comes into being. It is an integrat...

Floods frequently threaten villages near the Khazir River’s floodplains, causing crop losses and threatening residential areas. We used flood-related hydrological software, including WMS HEC-HMS, to study this issue determine how reduce recurrence of flooding. The software can be calculate a hydrograph torrential flows in river drainage basin estimate volume water its flow rates on Earth’s surf...
