Channel Routing Effects on Unit Hydrograph Shape
Channel routing effects on hydrograph shape and the interpretation of downstream unit hydrographs are examined. A new dimensionless routing parameter is presented....
Burns Waterways?Boat Capacity Study
The results of a boat capacity study for the Burns Waterway located in the city of Portage, Indiana, close to the southern tip of Lake Michigan are presented. More than 650 recreational...
Comprehensive Leak Detection Survey and Benefit/Cost Analysis
Fort Carson, Colorado was the site of a comprehensive leak detection investigation of the potable water system with the express purpose of quantifying the benefits to be derived by a military...
Probable Maximum Floods at the Yucca Mountain Exploratory Shafts
This paper presents an analysis of flood flows in the Coyote Wash at the proposed high level nuclear waste repository site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Estimates of the hydrographs at various...
A Travel Time Template for Water Body Field Surveys
A LOTUS 1-2-3 spreadsheet application has been developed to help plan water body surveys. The template calculates travel times between sampling stations and outputs a time schedule for...
Summary Report: Evaluation Criteria for Watershed Models
After an extensive literature review, the Task Committee recommends that, in addition to graphical plots, modelers use three simple goodness-of-fit criteria for evaluating continuous hydrograph...
Influence of Tillage on Hydrology in Western Iowa
USDA Agricultural Research Service has operated four field-sized watersheds in the deep loess soils of western Iowa since 1964. Throughout this time, two watersheds were cropped to corn...
Maricopa County Hydrology Procedure
The Flood Control District of Maricopa County has developed a procedure to be used for flood hydrology in Maricopa County, Arizona, and the Flood Control District has prepared a Hydrologic...
Sediment Transport Models for Small Gullies in Loess Hill and Gully Regions
Three items are studied: the equation of the relation between discharge and sediment for small gullies derived by using the theory of river dynamics; the extension of the Nash theory of...
Weibull Distribution and Natural Hydrograph
For design projects in water resources, a hydrograph is commonly used for the determination of flood volume generated by a given drainage basin. The division of total flow into direct...
An Investigation of Continuity Equation and Flood Routing
In this paper, a flood routing scheme, which gives consideration to the advantages of both the Muskingum method and the unit hydrograph method, is derived by using the continuity equation...
A Regionalized Rainfall-Runoff Stochastic Model
The single area unit hydrograph model is used to develop a distribution model which accommodates the uncertainty in rainfall over the catchment. By categorizing the available rainfall...
A Generalized Diffusion Wave Flood Routing Model
A generalized diffusion wave model for flood routing is presented. The model can incorporate detailed data on natural cross sections and river bed geometry. An accurate numerical method...
Diffusion Wave Overland Flow Module
This paper documents the diffusion-wave overland flow module contained in the FORTRAN-callable routine OVERLAND. Subjects covered include the theoretical background, model formulation,...
Two-Dimensional Floodplain Modeling
A two-dimensional horizontal finite element numerical model (RMA-2) was applied to a 15 mile (24 km) river channel-floodplain reach in West Germany. Previous applications of such models...
