Many cities have been built along large rivers. The rivers can provide a source of drinking water, act as receiving water for treated effluent, provide navigation for shipping, and other beneficial uses. However, the city must also be protected from flooding due to the close proximity to the river. Hydrologic analysis plays a crucial role in the development of plans for protecting a river city....

A methodology is presented for extracting topographic, topologic, and hydrologic information, from the digital spatial data of a hydrologic system, for hydrologic modeling with HMS. Methods for stream and watershed delineation from digital elevation models are presented. After vectorizing the raster-based stream segments and watersheds, navigation fields are added to their tables to support top...

This paper presents a modeling application of surface runoff using the Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS). A case study was carried out for the Jianghe watershed, a typical semi-arid and sub-humid geo-climatic region in northern China. Two modeling schemes using different descriptive sub-mechanism models provided by HEC-HMS for runoff volume, direct runoff and routing (channel flow) were inv...

Continuous hydrologic models account for the soil moisture balance in the catchment over a long-term period. Different hydrologic physical processes such as: interception, surface depression storage, infiltration, soil storage, percolation, and groundwater storage should be considered in continuous hydrologic modeling. In this paper, the Hydrologic Modeling System (HMS) model was used for conti...

Complicated research and management questions regarding watershed systems often require the use of more than one simulation model. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a means to integrate multiple simulation models to predict holistic system response. In this paper we explore the use of a componentbased approach for the runtime integration of models, implemented as “plugand-play” software com...

Abstract Hydrological modeling is important to provide relevant hydrologic information from limited data. In this study, Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) was used simulate the rainfall–runoff relationship for Dabus subbasin of Blue Nile Basin. Daily precipitation and stream flow data 2002 2019 were as key input model, together with soil land use/land cover data, a digital elevation model st...

Rainfall runoff modeling is one of the most complex hydrological due to involvement different watershed physical parameters. It essential for analysis response towards received precipitation under influence variables. As it a replica response, Rainfall-Runoff evaluate general characteristics total surface at catchment’s outlet. The main objective this study was prediction rainfall using Hydrolo...

The paper discusses how the well known USACE HEC models, RAS and HMS, are fully integrated within the decision support system of the Romagna River Basins in order to predict flood effects. The models are fully available from the web and cope with such a variety of problems as rainfall-runoff modeling, river and civil works hydraulics, and the mapping of hydraulic hazard. The paper illustrates t...
