detention rockfill dams are an easy and common tool for flood control. due to their coarse pores, the flow in void spaces is turbulent and non-darcy. different relationships introduced by researchers are used to define the hydraulics of the flow within the rockfill materials. the present research is aimed at gaining a better understanding of the differ-ence among these relationships and the sou...

To estimate the amount of evapotranspiration in a river basin, the "short period water balance method" was formulated. Then, by introducing the "complementary relationship method," the amount of evapotranspiration was estimated seasonally, and with reasonable accuracy, for both small and large areas. Moreover, to accurately estimate river discharge in the low water season, the "weighted statist...

A hybrid, seasonal, Markov chain-based model is formulated for daily streamflow generation at multiple sites of a watershed. Diurnal increments of the rising limb of the main channel hydrograph were stochastically generated using fitted, seasonally varying distributions in combination with an additive noise term, the standard deviation of which depended linearly on the actual value of the gener...

Seven nested headwater catchments (8 to 161 ha) were monitored during five summer rain events to evaluate storm runoff components and the effect of catchment size on water sources. Two-component isotopic hydrograph separation showed that event-water contributions near the time of peakflow ranged from 49% to 62% in the 7 catchments during the highest intensity event. The proportion of event wate...

hydrograph modeling and prediction of groundwater levels are the main concerns of most hydrogeological calculations and water resource management process. the present study is an application of sequential gaussian simulation (sgsim) method for predicting groundwater levels using recorded monthly data (180 months) related to 21 piezometers of behbahan aquifer, southwest of iran. to generate real...

In hydrological research, flood events can be analyzed by hydrograph coincidence. The duration of the is a key variable to calculate coincidence risk probability and determining whether occurs, while actual neglected in most existing related research. This paper creatively proposes novel method analyze establishing five-dimensional joint distribution volumes, durations interval time for two hyd...
