Role of Surficial Aquifer in Barrier Island Streamflow Generation
Monitoring results are presented for an experimental watershed located on a South Carolina barrier island. Rainfall, streamflow and well data indicate streamflow occurs due to interaction...
A Possible Definition of the Input Function for a Rainfall-Runoff Model with Lumped Parameters
It may be useful to introduce, instead of a 'mean areal rainfall', another input function, defined as that input which is transformed by the model into a known...
Emerson, Iowa Flood Warning System
A flood warning system was installed in 1985 by the Corps of Engineers at Emerson, Iowa as part of Emerson, Iowa Flood Control Project on Indian Creek. The warning system consists of two...
Effect of Length of Precipitation Record on Recharge Estimates
The effect of the length of precipitation record on groundwater recharge estimates is examined using data from eleven precipitation gages located on the Nevada Test Site. It is concluded...
The Storage Matching Technique of Detention Basin Design
In recent years, use of continuous rainfall - runoff simulation with historic rainfall data has become much more popular for the design of detention basins and reservoirs. While it may...
Flood Operation Studies of the Valdesia Reservoir System in the Dominican Republic
The Valdesia reservoir system, located on the Nizao River in the Dominican Republic, is designed to provide irrigation water to the Nizao project areas and hydroelectric energy to the...
Flood Forecasting with Minimal Data
The Corps of Engineers' HEC-1 program has been used with a specialized pre-processor program to provide interim emergency flood forecasting for a 4000 sq mi (10,360 sq km) watershed in...
Hydrologic Runoff Modeling of Small Watersheds: The Tinflow Model
TINFLOW is a PC-based Geographic Information System (GIS) that utilizes the Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) and associated data structures, together with a deterministic, finite difference...
Geographic Estimation of Runoff-Model Parameters
The U. S. Geological Survey is developing techniques to estimate and evaluate unit-hydrograph and loss-rate parameter values for rainfall-runoff models using Geographic Information System...
Some New Snyder Type Coefficients for Small Watersheds
Data collected on the Goodwin Creek watershed has produced a continuous hydrologic record from 37 rain gages and runoff record from 14 runoff stations within a drainage area of 8. 26 sq...
Probability Based Evaluation of Spillway Capacity
Spillway adequacy could be evaluated more objectively if estimates were available of the probabilities of discharges up to the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). As a first step in making such...
Automatic Calibration of Conceptual Rainfall-Runoff Models
An automatic calibration strategy applied to land and channel components of the National Weather Service River Forecast System is outlined. Aspects discussed include the objective function...
Rescuing the Everglades
After a century of trying to control Florida's Everglades, water management officials have decided that cooperating with nature is better. A new strategy known as the Rainfall...
A Stochastic-Conceptual Reservoir Inflow Forecasting Model
The development of a method to improve real-time forecasting of reservoir inflows for the purpose of minimizing water loss through spillage is presented. Streamflow forecasts are computed...
Co-ordinated Microcomputer-Based Rain Data Network and Modeling Environment
A co-ordinated microcomputer controlled rainfall collection network has been designed which includes drop counting precipitation sensors, tipping bucket raingauges, Z80-A microprocessor...
Rainfall-Loss Parameter Estimation for Illinois
The U. S. Geological Survey is currently conducting an investigation to estimate values of parameters for two rainfall-loss computation methods used in a commonly used flood-hydrograph...
Precipitation Analysis in Clark County, Nevada
The Clark County, Nevada Department of Public Works retained Black & Veatch in March 1985 to conduct a study of the Flamingo Wash and to recommend flood protection facilities,...
Characteristics of Intense Storms in Kansas
This paper examines point-rainfall characteristics of intense storms in Kansas. Hourly rainfall records were analyzed for 1006 intense storms selected from some 1800 station-years of data....
Real-Time Monitoring and Flood Forecasting
An automated flood warning system is now serving the 2,700,000 residents of Houston, Harris County, Texas. Real-time rainfall and river level data from more than 150 sensors are automatically...
Prediction of Sediment Yield for Southern California Watersheds
The objective of this paper is to present a scientific method based on multiple linear regression analysis between the sediment yield per square mile and a number of physically realistic...
