introduction flood is a natural hazard that its occurrences can be observed more frequently in recent years. for better flood mitigation and control, it is needed to identify flood production factors and determine the high potential flood areas. hydrological model is a simplified representation of natural system and the rainfall-runoff model is one of the most frequently used events for flood s...

introduction: planning and management of water resource and river basins needs use of conceptual hydrologic models which play a significant role in predicting basins response to different climatic and meteorological processes. evaluating watershed response through mathematical hydrologic models requires finding a set of parameter values of the model which provides thebest fit between observed a...

Abstract In this study, the impact of climate change on streamflow Arjo-Didessa catchment, Upper Blue Nile basin, is evaluated. We used outputs four models for two representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios, which are RCP 4.5 and 8.5. Streamflow simulation was done by using HEC-HMS rainfall-runoff model, satisfactorily calibrated validated study area. For historic period (1971–2000), ...

in this paper, a sensitivity analysis of artificial neural networks (nns) is presented and employed for estimating the patch load resistance of plate girders subjected to patch loading. to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed nn model, the results are compared with the previously proposed empirical models, so that we can estimate the resistance of plate girders subjected to patch loading. the ...

in the present study, the soil and water assessment tool (swat 2000) model was tested on both a monthly and yearly basis and applied to the kordan watershed, located in iran. the main objective of the research was to assess the accuracy of the model in sediment-yield and surface water bicarbonate concentration estimation. the attributes of sub-watersheds, tributary channels and the main channel...

introduction: fao aquacrop model (raes et al., 2009a; steduto et al., 2009) is a user-friendly and practitioner oriented type of model, because it maintains an optimal balance between accuracy, robustness, and simplicity; and it requires a relatively small number of model input parameters. the fao aquacrop model predicts crop productivity, water requirement, and water use efficiency under water...
