The objective of this paper is to show that the structure of the spatiotemporal continuum has important implications in practical stochastic hydrology (e.g., geostatistical analysis of hydrologic sites) and is not merely an abstract mathematical concept. We propose that the concept of physical geometry as a spatiotemporal continuum with properties that are empirically de®ned is important in hyd...

The present paper discusses a coupled gridded crop modeling and hydrologic modeling system that can examine the benefits of irrigation and costs of irrigation and the coincident impact of the irrigation water withdrawals on surface water hydrology. The system is applied to the Southeastern U.S. The system tools to be discussed include a gridded version (GriDSSAT) of the crop modeling system DSS...

The current Internet is facing serious scalability problems and the overloading of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses is regarded as an important reason. The Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) is proposed as a network-based solution that separates IP addresses into Routing Locators (RLOCs) and Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs) to address the routing scalability problems. It is a critical challenge f...

Large-scale operational hydrologic models are essential tools in support of multiple water resource applications such as flood control, navigation, irrigation, and habitat management, etc., at the regional or continental scales. These models, unlike micro scale watershed models, are defined over large areas (>10 km) and long time scales (typically for use over monthly and annual or longer time ...

Because hydrologic responses of an agricultural watershed are influenced by many natural and man-made factors including pond/reservoir, management practices, and/or irrigation/drainage, strategies of hydrological modeling for the watershed must be case-dependent and thus carefully designed to effectively reflect their roles as critical hydrologic components in simulation processes. In this stud...

Developments in Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS) have been reported in three main areas: architectures, algorithms, and methodologies for HMS. Despite the advancements obtained in the first two areas the methodologies for HMS have not received great attention. To date, many of the developments in HMS have been conducted in an almost “empirical way”, without design methodology. There is a def...

Flooding is one of the most occurring natural hazards every year risking the lives and properties of the affected communities, especially in Philippine context. To visualize the extent and mitigate the impacts of flood hazard in Malingon River in Valencia City, Bukidnon, this paper presents the combination of Geographic Information System, high-resolution Digital Elevation Model, land cover, so...

It is well understood that the limitations of hydrological measurement techniques warrants for modeling of hydrological processes in a basin. However, most hydrologic systems are extremely complex and modeling them with the available limited measurements is a difficult task. The basic purpose of a model is to simulate and predict the operation of the system that is unduly complex, and also to p...

The amount of rainfall can be used to estimate the runoff that enters a reservoir. Runoff is influenced by land use, and soil type greatly affects will occur. This study discusses development hydrological model with application Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC-HMS) in Karangmumus watershed using data has been verified field divided into zones based on permeability testing laboratory.
