This model places the design rainfall distribution on the input layer and t...

This study describes and interprets the evolution of grain-size distribution of sediment yields generated in an experimental soil flume subjected to downstream and upstream moving rain storms. Results of laboratory experiments show that downstream moving storms cause more soil loss than do upstream moving storms. The pattern of sediment grain-size evolution in time during a runoff event exhibit...

Global climate change is expected to cause an increase in the intensity and duration of extreme rainfall events that occur today. The leading flooding various world regions, including flat coastal areas such as Serok River catchment Kota Pontianak, influenced by tides, excessive rainfall. This article presents results analysis impact precipitation on peak discharge flood hydrographs catchment, ...

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...

The time source separation of a hydrograph was performed us...

The simulation of the occurrence runoff-generated debris flows can be approached by means hydrological models. In this work, we show that a rainfall-runoff model designed for runoff in headwater rocky basins capture both transit timing first debris-flow surge and its hydrograph. We successfully compared stage hydrograph with simulated two Dolomites.

the role of unit hydrograph is very important in prediction of floods in the rivers, design protection and control structures in the catchment area. therefore in the basin without hydrometric stations, by using mathematical and empirical relationship and based on climatic data, the water level in the basin is estimated. two methods of geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrograph and width funct...

Groundwater is one of the most important water resources in Fars province. Based on this study, 95 percent of the total annual water consumption in Fars is used for agriculture, whereas the percentages for domestic and industrial uses are 4 and 1 percent, respectively. Population growth, urban and industrial growth, and agricultural development in Fars have created a condition of water stress. ...
