Kalman Filter in Real-Time Hydrologic Forecasting: A Tutorial
The Kalman filter provides an algorithm by which measured streamflow can be used to update the estimated hydrologic state of the watershed as determined from the application of a hydrologic...
The Alabama Rainfall-Runoff Model, ARRM
ARRM consists of a conceptual state-space model which is cast in a stochastic framework. It uses the W.H. Green and C.A. Ampt method for infiltration, exponential decay for interflow and...
What is Necessary to Forecast River Flows Reliably?
The problem of forecasting river flows employing conceptual rainfall-runoff models is reviewed stressing the important connections that exist among data requirements, model structure,...
Limitations of Level-Pool Routing in Reservoirs
Storage routing is defined for purposes of this study as any routing technique which expresses reservoir storage as a single-valued function of stage, and hence it is sometimes termed...
Development, Calibration and Application of Runoff Forecasting Models for the Allegheny River Basin
The computer program HEC1F, developed by the Corps of Engineers' Hydrologic Engineering Center, performs runoff forecasting. The focus of this paper is on application of HEC1F...
Seasonal Streamflow Forecasts Based Upon Regression
Many western water-supply system operators employ forecasts of seasonal inflows for the snow-melt season to plan spring and summer operations. This study considers the simple statistical...
Streamflow Forecasting for Hydropower Operations Using Interactive Modeling Systems
This paper discusses the development of the Snake River Forecast Model (SRFM), a streamflow forecasting system for long-range planning and short-range operation of fifteen hydropower projects....
Computer Simulation of the Long-Term Operation of the Manitoba Hydro System
The System Simulation Model is a deterministic long-term planning model used to simulate reservoir operation and energy allocation in the Manitoba Hydro system. The model uses the method...
Colorado River Microcomputer Model
This paper describes a computer model which simulates the monthly water and power operations of the twelve reservoirs in the Colorado River Basin for a given demand projection in the future....
An Emerging Application of Microcomputers in Water Control
Plans being developed at the Corps' Hydrologic Engineering Center propose a gradual transfer of water control support from minicomputers to a network of microcomputer workstations....
Computer Program for Smoothing and Correcting Hourly Time Series Data
A FORTRAN computer program has been developed for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers St. Louis District that automatically screens and corrects hourly time series data for gross errors and...
Development of the Hydrodata CD-ROM Data Storage System
To store and retrieve data from two of the USGS WATSTORE databases - the daily and peak values files - and the Summary of the Day file from the National Climatic Data Center, the authors...
Short-Term Hydroelectric Scheduling Model for WAPA
An optimization model, data system, and a series of user-friendly input/output screens (the HYDRopower Optimization Program, HYDROP) have recently been implemented at the Loveland Area...
TVA Weekly Scheduling Model Application Experience
Development of TVA's Weekly Scheduling Model was completed in 1980. Eight years of experience covering a wide variety of applications has now been accumulated. Since the basic...
Production Scheduling Model for Hydro-Qu?bec
A deterministic optimization model is described which allows to schedule the production of a predominantly-hydroelectric power system. Demand and exogenous inflows are assumed known with...
Utilization of the Ottawa River Regulation Modeling System (MORRO)
The MORRO model was developed in Canada for use by the Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board (ORRPB) to integrate the operation of the Ottawa River during the spring freshet season, when...
