Sediment Transport Modeling Considerations
In addition to understanding the theory and concepts of mathematical modeling, the engineer or scientist must also have knowledge of the river to be studied, the available data, and the...

Criteria for a Sediment Data Set
The transport of sediment through a hydrologic system or basin is an extremely complex phenomenon. Many factors affect this movement. Criteria are established for an 'ultimate' or complete...

Soil Erosion and Sediment Transport Modeling on Small Tropical Watersheds
A fundamentally-based concept of a soil erosion and sediment transport model in a forest tropical area is presented. It will be incorporated to the ANSWERS model. The forest hydrology...

A Watershed Model of Sediment Transport?Load-I
A watershed sediment transport model has been formulated and optimized upon storm hydrographs and the associated sediment load data for several watersheds that have been urbanized and...

Estimation of the Effect of Land Use Changes on Storm-Event Sediment Yield from a Small Watershed
The influence of partial deforestation in a small lowland watershed in the center of Poland on storm-event sediment yield is analysed. Rainfall-runoff model has been applied to estimate...

Investigation of Low-flow Phenomenon in Case of Droughts
By the use of streamflow and truncation levels, hydrologic droughts are defined. Flows of different truncation level are obtained from each selected subbasin. Flow ratio is calculated...

Reducing the Potential for Flood Litigation
A flood event is usually followed by numerous damage claims that often lead to litigation. This paper proposes measures to mitigate the potential for litigation. It is stressed that an...

Hydraulic Design of the Unser Boulevard Crossing
As an integral part of the design process, a comprehensive hydrologic, hydraulic and sediment transport analysis was completed of the proposed Unser Boulevard crossing of Calabacillas...

Bank Erosion: A Review of British Research
The paper summarizes recent contributions from British geomorphologists and hydrologists. This includes field measurements of processes, modeling of corrasion and mass failure, interactions...

Statistical Frequency Analysis of Flood Records
The U.S. Geological Survey, like other Federal agencies, uses Hydrology Subcommittee Bulletin 17 for guidance in statistical frequency analysis of flood records. This paper describes the...

Validation and Intercomparison of Three-Dimensional Numerical Models of Estuarine and Lake Hydrodynamics
Three-dimensional numerical models have been developed and used to study the circulation and transport of water quality parameters in estuaries and lakes. This paper discusses two important...

The Use of Distributed Rainfall-Runoff Models Based on GIS at Different Scales of Information
The effects of spatial variability of soil type and land use on basin response are investigated. This is modelled thorugh a distributed approach specifically designed for calibration from...

Modeling Variations in Soil Moisture and Streamflow Resulting from Climatic and Land Use Changes
A distributed parameter watershed model IWASCH has been developed to simulate variation in soil moisture and baseflow conditions for agricultural areas in Illinois, resulting from climatic...

Application of Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Models at a Superfund Site in Montana
The water quality model applied to the site is the EPA-supported hydrodynamic and water quality model WASP4 with a modification to enable it to better simulate riverine systems. To provide...

Implementation of a Hydrodynamic Model for the Upper Potomac Estuary
A vertically integrated, two-dimensional hydrodynamic/transport model has been implemented for the upper extent of the Potomac Estuary between Indian Head and Morgantown, Md. The model...

A Branched Hydrodynamic Model of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California
A new and efficient hydrodynamic model is used to simulate flows in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California. The model solves the one-dimensional shallow water equations for flow...

Comparison of Tenn-V and TR-55 on TVA Watersheds
The storm hydrograph simulation models TENN-V and TR-55 were compared as to their respective abilities to reproduce 468 storms observed on 54 watersheds. TR-55 did not represent the Tennessee...

Urban Watershed Data for the United States
The contents of an urban watershed data base compiled for a national urban flood-frequency study by the U.S. Geological Survey are described. The data base includes information for 269...

Spatial and Temporal Variations of Precipitation Effects on Storm Hydrographs
A partial area, variable source hydrologic rainfall runoff model, called MAPHYD, was developed utilizing digital maps, interactive computer graphics and several infiltration mechanisms....

Radar Rainfall Measurements and Runoff Forecasting
Rainfall varies in intensity and depth over time and space. Weather radar systems can provide estimates of rainfall at points in space with nearly continuous coverage with respect to time....
