Statistical–Dynamical Approach for Streamflow Modeling at Malakal, Sudan, on the White Nile River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The upper White Nile Basin above Malakal, Sudan, is considered to be one of the most complicated and diverse hydrologic settings on Earth. Accurately depicting and predicting the streamflow at Malakal is essential for water ...
Long-Lead Forecasting of Runoff Season Flows in the Colorado River Basin Using a Random Forest Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: There is an increasing need for skillful runoff season (i.e., spring) streamflow forecasts that extend beyond a 12-month lead time for water resources management, especially under multiyear droughts and particularly ...
Erratum for “Statistical Modeling of Daily Water Temperature Attributes on the Sacramento River” by Jason Caldwell, Balaji Rajagopalan, and Eric Danner
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Prototype Decision Support System for Operations on the Gunnison Basin with Improved Forecasts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Numerous studies have developed new methods for skillful long-lead seasonal streamflow forecasts, especially in the western United States, and most assume that the streamflow forecast skills translate into improved water ...
Nonhomogeneous Markov Model for Daily Precipitation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a one-step nonhomogeneous Markov model for describing daily precipitation at a site. Daily transitions between wet and dry states are considered. The one-step, 2 × 2 transition-probability matrix is ...
Local Polynomial–Based Flood Frequency Estimator for Mixed Population
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Floods are often generated by more than one physical mechanism, e.g., rainfall and snowmelt. Consequently, traditional flood frequency methods that use a single distribution may not adequately describe the observed flood ...
Long-Range Forecasting of Colorado Streamflows Based on Hydrologic, Atmospheric, and Oceanic Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Climatic fluctuations have profound effects on water resources variability in the western United States. The research reported herein centers on streamflow predictability at the medium- and long-range scales in rivers that ...
Statistical Modeling of Daily Water Temperature Attributes on the Sacramento River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Sacramento River is the largest river in California, and an important source of water for agricultural, municipal, and industrial users. Input to the Sacramento River comes from Shasta Lake and is controlled by operators ...
Attribute-Based Safety Risk Assessment. I: Analysis at the Fundamental Level
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Quantifying safety risks and performing comparative analyses is an emerging research field. Unfortunately, current risk assessment strategies are problematic because they require every new infrastructure feature and ...
Attribute-Based Safety Risk Assessment. II: Predicting Safety Outcomes Using Generalized Linear Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One of the recent advancements in preconstruction safety management is the identification and quantification of risks associated with fundamental attributes of construction work environments that cause injuries. The goal ...
