Stochastic Modeling of Mean Areal Precipitation for Generating Synthetic Streamflows
Statistical precipitation models used as input to conceptual hydrologic models, offer an alternative mechanism for simulating streamflow. In sparsely gauged catchments, or areas where...
Stochastic Simulation of Streamflows
In order to provide a better method of generating synthetic streamflow data, a stochastic model of simulating long-term streamflows is developed. Basically, this method uses historical...
Software Authoring for the Rest of Us
Extensive use of high resolution graphics, form-oriented full screen data entry, and contextual help messages have proven to be an effective means of structuring the dialogue between the...
Accumulation of Streamflow in Complex Topography
A proposed synthetic watershed model which simulates the hydrologic process of both overland flow and interflow is presented in this paper. The synthetic model has features designed to...
Automated Data Monitoring for Disaster Prevention
A system is now available from International Hydrological Services for use on micro-computers that will provide real-time environmental monitoring, analysis, forecasting and control. This...
Water Quantity Management for a River Regulating Agency
A river reservoir operations model (RROM) was developed to assist the Hudson River-Black River Regulating District manage flows in the Upper Hudson River Basin. The purpose of the RROM...
Water Information Available from the U.S. Geological Survey
As a part of the Geological Survey's program of releasing water data to the public, two large-scale computerized systems are maintained. The National Water Data Storage and...
Water Data Bank of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the United States of America have jointly undertaken an investigation of the ground-water resources of Northern Jordan. An initial step in the investigation...
State-of-the-Art Design of Databases for Water Related Data
This paper presents an overview of techniques for design and application of databases to water related data. The intent is to introduce new concepts to the practicing engineer who has...
Computers: Water Resources Models in Latin America
Ninety-six national institutions dealing with planning, irrigation, water supply, and hydropower generation in twenty-six Latin American and Caribbean countries were surveyed between February...
Hydrological Database Management
Development of hydrological database management is investigated in this study. Lotus 1-2-3, a commercially available database, which makes use of spreadsheet has been used to solve a broad...
Automated Data Collection for Reservoir Regulation
Various regulation changes in the Lake Winnebago basin have been proposed regarding the protection of wetlands and assurance of adequate outflows for water quality. To implement these...
Successive Application of Reservoir Simulation Models--A Case Study
Replacement of the conventional method of generating hydrology by a well established reservoir simulation model renders enormous amounts of flexibility and savings in computation time....
Data Transforms on USGS Surface Water Records
Surface water records compiled and stored by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) on machine readable tape are transformed and analyzed by computer methods to enable visual inspection...
Real-Time Data Verification
Recent improvements in the real-time acquisition of hydro-meteorological data have raised concerns regarding the quality of the data received. Water users having practically instant access...
The ADP Problems of a River Basin Commission
The Susquehanna River Basin Commission is an independent governmental agency that recently acquired its first in-house minicomputer system. The staff usage of this system has created two...
Utilization of Numerical Models in Groundwater
For many years numerical models have been used in groundwater hydrology. In a recent assessment of the availabilty and use of models, a number of problem areas were identified. Some of...
