Watershed Management in the Eighties
The papers included in this publication discuss state-of-the-art methods and current research on management and present case studies on current projects and practices on applied watershed...
An Operational Dynamic Routing Model for Small Computers
The paper reports on a study to develop an efficient dynamic routing procedure that can be used on an IBM PC/XT microcomputer as the routing component in a comprehensive watershed simulation...
South Branch Rockaway Flood Water Study
The paper reports on a study to analyze in detail various methods of storm water management. The technical studies were carried out in an actual watershed setting to arrive at a recommended...
Using Remotely Sensed Data to Estimate Runoff
The paper reports on a study to conduct numerical experiments to simulate runoff from watersheds by using remotely sensed data and hydrologic models. Data from the Sugar Creek Watershed...
Simulation of Wetland Hydrology and Hydrodynamics
The relative changes in water stage in swamps and marshes and the variations of current velocities in bayous and canals under present conditions are calculated, using a computer watershed...
On-Line Hydrologic Simulation of Lake Conroe Reservoir Releases for Downstream Flood Control
Texas A&M Watershed Model (TAMWM) is used to simulate the response of the Lake Conroe watershed following a storm event and to develop an operational policy for flood releases...
SEDIMOT II Application to a Large Coastal Watershed
SEDIMOT II was applied to Barker Reservoir watershed in Houston, Texas, in order to simulate sedimentation in the drainage area and the relative effectiveness of sediment control strategies....
Two-Parameter Synthetic Unit Hydrograph for Microcomputer Application
A regression model was developed for estimating the unit hydrograph for ungaged watersheds. The model uses physical characteristics of the drainage basin to predict the parameters needed...
LANDSAT and Micro-GIS for Watershed Modeling
A microcomputer-based Geographic Information System (GIS) incorporating LANDSAT or other remotely sensed digital data greatly reduces the cost of watershed modeling. The computation of...
Watershed Research at Konza?Tallgrass Prairie
The Konza Prairie Research Natural Area is the only tallgrass prairie site in the network of Long-Term Ecological Research sites. Watershed research at Konza is designed to assist in increasing...
Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds (TR-55 Rev.)
A microcomputer program is being prepared for the upcoming revision of the Soil Conservation Service's 'Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds,' Technical...
A Quick Micro-Computer Urban Runoff Model
The Penn State Direct Hydrograph Model PSDH described in this paper uses watershed and rainfall data to generate a synthetic unit hydrograph and a runoff hydrograph, both gamma-distributed....
Flood Peak Program for Urbanizing Semi-Arid Areas
This paper describes a microcomputer program for flood peak determination based on a highly modified version of the Rational method developed by M. E. Zeller, which employs the Soil Conservation...
Development of Flood Peak Regression Equatins for Small Watersheds in Southwest Florida
Hydrologic investigations were performed on the Belle Meade-Royal Palm Hammock area in Collier County, Florida. The study area, encompassing approximately 79 square miles (205 km**2),...
Flood Control
The Hamilton and Riemer reservoirs were constructed by excavating pits below grade to receive flood overflows from adjacent streams. The two reservoirs are part of a 52 sq. mile (135 km�)...
Hydrology for River Management: The Belle River
Crop damages in recent years prompted farmers to back an effort to clean portions of a large inter-county drain. Other groups with conflicting interests pressed for a study of the impact...
Streamflow Measurement and Analysis for Northwest Rangelands
Watershed hydrologic and sedimentation investigations on the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed in southwest Idaho were initiated in 1960. Major objectives of the watershed research...
CN Approach to Water Budgets for Small Watersheds
In some states, issuance of a surface mining permit is dependent upon an assessment of the current hydrologic baseline of the area to be mined and of the probable future impacts of mining...
Decreases in Runoff and Sediment Yield by Drainage
Runoff and sediment yield from three small agricultural watersheds were measured during four winter rainfall seasons. Following two rainfall seasons of data collection, a subsurface drainage...
Expert Systems: C. E. Potential
Expert systems, each one a very extensive computer program or set of programs, incorporate not only the facts known about a subject area, but the rules of thumb and other guidelines and...
