Physics-Based Modeling of Lakes, Reservoirs, and Impoundments
This book provides an overview of considerations that apply to modeling flow and transport in lakes, reservoirs, and impoundments using equations based on conservation principles. Specific...
Estimating Climate Change From Hydrologic Response
In the eighty-one hydrographically closed basins within Nevada many large lakes developed during the pluvial climate of the Pleistocene. Pluvial lake area and tributary basin area have...
Issues in Specifying Climate Forcing of Variability
Several issues arise in the specification of the role of climatic forcing of variability of water resources. The effects of human intervention must be removed so that the climate signal...
Intelligent Central Database System for Synchronized Distributed Processing of Large Hydrologic Packages in Local Area Networks
The nodes of a local area network can be dedicated to the independent routines of a large hydrologic/hydraulic package. The server of the network can be dedicated to the control of the...
Surface Water Analysis for Ground Water Simulation
The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has applied a hydrologic-economic modeling (HEM) system to the analysis of ground water use in the San Joaquin Valley. An important component...
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...
A Customized Database Management System for Watershed Modeling
When large watershed areas are being studied and continuously monitored, it is desirable to create a database management system (DBMS) that provides the necessary capability to build and...
Performance of a Deterministic Storm Runoff Model
The paper discusses model comparisons based on a Tulsa, Oklahoma, case study. Modeling strategies were explored, four of which were modeled in detail because of the extremes in range of...
Applied Hydro System Operations Models
The paper discusses computer simulation of system operations. Computer programs that simulate operations through future time periods on hourly, daily or monthly time periods are routinely...
Operations Models of the Columbia Reservoir System
Several of the computer models used in management of the basin's reservoir system are described. Among the models discussed are the Streamflow Synthesis and Reservoir Regulation...
Remote Sensing Applications in the Model of Runoff Formation in Excess of Storage
The model of runoff formation in excess of storage applied in some humid regions of China is revised in this paper, so that the model can adopt the information provided by Landsat remote...
Application of a Stochastic Hydrology Model
This paper presents the development and application of a multi-site, multi-season stochastic hydrology model for the Sacramento Valley portion of the Central Valley of California. The...
Water Management of the Tenn-Tom Water
In December 1984 the final segments of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway were completed. The Waterway connects the Tennessee River to the Gulf of Mexico at the City of Mobile. The total...
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....
New Developments in HEC Programs for Flood Control
Since the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) started in 1964, the evolution has been toward packaged programs that perform a variety of computation options. Two examples are the flood...
Heppner's User-Friendly Local Flood Warning System
The Heppner, Oregon, local flood warning system uses state-of-the-art technology with event-initiated data transmission, real-time monitoring, and automatic evaluation and notification....
Coupling of Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Models
Long term, multi-dimensional water quality modeling in estuaries and coastal embayments using a directly linked hydrodynamic and water quality model can be prohibitively expensive. In...
A Unified Hydrodynamic-Water Quality Model
To understand the cause-effect relationships controlling water quality in dynamically narrow estuaries, a time dependent branching, laterally averaged (longitudinal and vertical) hydrodynamic...
NID Water Supply and Hydropower Operation Model
A basic requirement of CH2M HILL's Raw Water Master Plan for Nevada Irrigation District (NID) was to determine the dependable water supply available from the District's...
Multivariate Modeling of Hydrological Time Series for Generation of Reservoir Operating Rules
A multivariate model and a disaggregation model are used in this study to generate annual and monthly time series of streamflow data for multiple sites. The parameters of the models are...
