the major problem in the assessment of relationships between rainfall and runoff occurs when a study is carried out in ungauged watersheds in the absence of hydro-climatic data. this study aims to evaluate the applicability of natural resources conservation service-curve number (nrcs-cn) method together with gis in estimating runoff depth in a mountainous watershed. the study was carried out in...

A new methodology was developed for the real-time determination gate control operations of a river-reservoir system to minimize flooding conditions. The is based upon an optimization-simulation model approach interfacing genetic algorithm within MATLAB with simulation software short-term rainfall forecasting, rainfall–runoff modeling (HEC-HMS), and one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), co...

The aim of this study is to determine runoff depth of the Van Lake basin by using remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) integration. While determining the results we used various data sets such as Landsat satellite image, 1:25000 standard topographic map, and soil map data. Standard 1:25000 topographic maps were used to derive digital elevation model. Sub-basin area and physica...

water changes information in the hydrological system, in time and space, as an environmental issue takes heed of managers and decision makers in watershed management and river engineering, which can be addressed by using spatially distributed modeling. in this study simulation of water balance components in taleghan mountainous watershed is performed using the spatially distributed hydrological...

The infiltration of urban runoff always implies an entrance of pollutants into the soil and ground water. Due to legal regulations in many communes there is no longer any permission needed for stormwater infiltration, if administrative regulations and the requirements of standards are observed. The results of a research project carried out under the heading "Development of an assessment procedu...
