Modeling Streamflow Response from Minnesota Peatlands
A deterministic, continuous simulation model was developed to predict the effects of peatland development on streamflow. The Peatland Hydrologic Impact Model is largely physically based...
Synthetic Unit Hydrographs for Ozark Watersheds
Few concepts in modern hydrology have been more widely used and abused than unit hydrograph theory. Nevertheless, during the years since its introduction in 1932 as an extension of the...
Simulation of Natural Resource Systems
Desertification, defined as the loss in productive capacity of the land, has spawned research in decision making involving multi-objective situations. In this study, computer simulation...
Assessing Risks of Impaired Hydrologic Function
This paper describes the rationale and use of a 'resource tolerance' to evaluate hydrologic function and presents a method to establish a relative tolerance threshold...
Erosion, Productivity and Rangeland Watershed Planning
The Bureau of Land Management is responsible for the management of over 160 million acres of rangeland in the western United States. The principal uses of these rangelands are the grazing...
Modeling Off-Site Impacts
The off-site impacts of a flood water control program were evaluated by applying the SWRRB (Simulation of Water Resources on Rural Basins) model to a treated basin, primarily agricultural,...
The Role of Multiple Level Hydrologic Analysis in Watershed Management?A Case Study in Trinidad
An accurate estimation of peak flood flows and its correlation with existing and future land use are basic requirements for the scientific management of Watersheds. An accurate estimation...
Streamflow Generation from Subalpine Forests
Much of the hydrologic modelling done in the subalpine forest of the central Rockies is based on the Subalpine Water Balance Model. This paper reports on plot studies on the Fraser Experimental...
Prediction of Soil Water Properties for Hydrologic Modeling
Water flow in soils can be characterized for many boundary and initial conditions by solving governing differential equations. Thus, a physically consistent means of quantifying water...
A Systematic Evaluation of Hillslope Subsurface Flow: The Effects of Slope Angle and Soil Parameter Variation
A two-dimensional finite element variably saturated flow model is used in conjunction with an automatic mesh generating scheme to simulate hillslope subsurface flow. Slopes from 2% to...
Computer Modeling of Roof Support
The Bureau of Mines is using a full-scale geotechnical model of a 15-foot-wide (4. 6-m) coal mine entry in correlation with computer finite-element analysis at its Spokane Research Center...
Modelling of the Fracture Process Zone in Rock
There are a number of situations in the fracture mechanics of rock in which linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) concepts are inapplicable or insufficient. Two such situations are...
Prediction of Highway Construction Noise Levels
A model for the prediction of noise levels from highway construction operations has been developed under sponsorship of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Noise sources are geometrically...
Computer Impacts on Water Resources Engineering
Computation capability has increased by a factor of one million over the past 30 years and has contributed greatly toward data management and the application of available technology to...
Maximum Water Source Utilization Using Lotus 1-2-3
This paper discusses the use of microcomputers to determine the optimum mix of sources for the Fargo-Moorhead area's water supply network. The area's major water...
Personal Computers and Stormwater Management Programs
Urban flooding and drainage problems are the result of complex interactions between natural and man-made systems. Comprehensive analysis of the hydrologic characteristics of these problems...
Use of Spreadsheets in Stormwater Modeling
The use of microcomputers is becoming more and more prevalent in both large and small design offices as their first cost continues to decrease, as their capabilities continue to increase,...
A Micro-Computer GIS for Water Resources Planning
Recent developments in micro-computers have enabled water resources engineers to utilize advanced computer methods and interactive color graphics for the analysis and planning of water...
Stochastic Modeling of Mean Areal Precipitation for Generating Synthetic Streamflows
Statistical precipitation models used as input to conceptual hydrologic models, offer an alternative mechanism for simulating streamflow. In sparsely gauged catchments, or areas where...
Stochastic Simulation of Streamflows
In order to provide a better method of generating synthetic streamflow data, a stochastic model of simulating long-term streamflows is developed. Basically, this method uses historical...
