Watershed Hydrograph Simulation Through Dendritic Channel Networks
In this paper, a linear dendritic simulation model based on the finite difference implicit scheme is presented. In this model, a dendritic matrix solution algorithm for simultaneous solution...

Precipitation Variability Effects on Modeled Soil Water Deficits
Effective management of forages in steep Appalachian pastures requires an understanding of hydrologic and microclimatic processes on the area. This study was conducted to determine the...

Development and Implementation of the Wekiva River Basin Regulatory Program in Central Florida
The St. Johns River Water Management District developed a comprehensive surface water management program for the basin. Between 1987 and 1989 the District implemented basin specific design...

Summary Report: Evaluation Criteria for Watershed Models
After an extensive literature review, the Task Committee recommends that, in addition to graphical plots, modelers use three simple goodness-of-fit criteria for evaluating continuous hydrograph...

Influence of Tillage on Hydrology in Western Iowa
USDA Agricultural Research Service has operated four field-sized watersheds in the deep loess soils of western Iowa since 1964. Throughout this time, two watersheds were cropped to corn...

Maricopa County Hydrology Procedure
The Flood Control District of Maricopa County has developed a procedure to be used for flood hydrology in Maricopa County, Arizona, and the Flood Control District has prepared a Hydrologic...

Validation of Hydrophysical Components of a One-Dimensional Lake Model
A dynamic one-dimensional lake model has been developed in alternative structures, MINLAKE and FRMPND, for water-quality control strategies and lake eutrophication studies. Hydrophysical...

Modeling Erosion and Effects of Agricultural BMP's on a West Tennessee Watershed
The application of Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) to nonpoint source data was examined. The model is used to determine the effects of land management practices upon surface...

Relationship of Soil Type and Chemicals to the Calibration of Neutron Meters
Theory of neutron scattering and moderation in matter explains many of the characteristics of calibration curves of neutron moisture probes. Characteristics include effect of atomic species...

Understanding Delivery Performance Before Rehabilitation
In the initial stages of project formulation, decisions are made regarding the method for allocating water, and the method for physically distributing water. Any major rehabilitation effort...

Practical Approaches Used in Neutron Meter Moisture Monitoring
This paper describes a practical, appropriate methodology for utilizing neutron meter soil moisture measurements to provide irrigation management information to farmers. A neutron meter...

Computation of Unsaturated Soil Parameters Using Upward Infiltration Empirical Data
The relationship between soil moisture content and hydraulic conductivity with the soil tension be defined to simulate unsaturated flow in a porous media. Direct measurements of these...

Expediting the Evaluation of Water-Rights Applications in the Mimbres Basin, NM
More than eighty percent of all ground water used in New Mexico is used for agriculture. The allocation of ground water in the state is the responsibility of the State Engineer. For the...

Efficiency Testing of Water Wells
In the operation of a water well, the difference between the water level in the well before pumping starts and after it has been pumping for a period of time is termed 'drawdown.'...

A Hydrologic Model for Designing Border Irrigation
A hydrologic model was developed and evaluated using experimental data from two irrigation tests. First, the model was calibrated using the experimental data of one irrigation test, after-that...

Improvements to Mapping of Alluvial Fan Flooding
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is responsible for identifying floodplains for the National Flood Insurance Program, is working to refine its assistance to engineers...

Drainage Manual for Clark County, Nevada
The development of a flood control district and its associated capital improvement and regulatory programs does not by itself address drainage standards for a community. While the capital...

Urban Hydrology in the Desert, Antelope Valley, California
A study of urban hydrology in Antelope Valley includes data collection, analysis of rainfall and runoff frequencies, and comparison of results from various rainfall-runoff models. This...

Comparison of Design Rainfall Criteria for the Southwest
The design of drainage and flood control facilities or the management of floodplains for alluvial fans is extremely sensitive to the design rainfall criteria that is used as input to the...

Experimental Study on the Flow Properties of Debris Flow
A new flow property model for viscous debris flow was presented in this paper. The results of the flow property model were in good agreement with the results of specific experiments. The...
