RISRiver Flood Forecasting Using Complementary Muskingum Rating Equations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A model for real-time flood forecasting in river systems with large drainage areas has been developed. Flow variations between upstream and downstream stations are interlinked and are typically governed by reach properties. ...
Role of Climate Variability in Modulating the Surface Water and Groundwater Interaction over the Southeast United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an investigation of the role of climatic variability on interannual groundwater and streamflow variability in the southeast United States. For this purpose, streamflow and associated groundwater levels ...
Performance Comparison of Equivalent Reservoir and Multireservoir Models in Forecasting Hydropower Potential for Linking Water and Power Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To link water and power systems on a regional scale, equivalent reservoir models—an aggregated representation of a multireservoir system—are commonly used because conventional river-basin scale optimization models become ...
Reducing Model Structural Uncertainty in Climate Model Projections—A Rank-Based Model Combination Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractFuture changes in monthly precipitation are typically evaluated by estimating the shift in the long-term mean/variability or based on the change in the marginal distribution. General circulation model (GCM) ...
Improving Groundwater Predictions Utilizing Seasonal Precipitation Forecasts from General Circulation Models Forced with Sea Surface Temperature Forecasts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recent studies have found a significant association between climatic variability and basin hydroclimatology, particularly groundwater levels, over the southeast United States. The research reported in this paper evaluates ...
Impacts of Near-Term Climate Change and Population Growth on Within-Year Reservoir Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Climate change and increased urban demand can significantly stress water supply systems, emphasizing the importance of reallocating reservoir storage for the designed uses. Most studies on climate change assessment have ...
Improved Drought Management of Falls Lake Reservoir: Role of Multimodel Streamflow Forecasts in Setting up Restrictions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Droughts, resulting from natural variability in supply and from increased demand due to urbanization, have severe economic implications on local and regional water supply systems. In the context of short-term (monthly to ...
Changing Seasonality of Annual Maximum Floods over the Conterminous US: Potential Drivers and Regional Synthesis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Understanding the flood-generating mechanisms that influence flood seasonality in a region provides information on setting up relevant contingency measures. Although former studies estimated flood seasonality at ...
Synthesis of Irrigation Water Use in the United States: Spatiotemporal Patterns
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The role of large-scale drivers—climate, population, and adaption of efficient irrigation practices—in controlling irrigation water use efficiency has rarely been addressed. The primary objectives of our study are to ...
