Abstract: The Clark synthetic unit hydrograph and the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) curve number method has been used to simulate the rainfall and runoff behavior of a watershed for many years. Methodologies like Clark generally ...

Abstract: Terrain models created from triangulated irregular networks (TINs) can be used to delineate watershed and subbasin boundaries. However, an important criterion for accurately defining boundaries is that triangle edges of ...

Abstract: Transforming a weather forecast into a flood hydrograph for a watershed requires a series of steps: (1) gathering and pre-processing data about the current conditions of the watershed, such as soil moisture, snow cover, ...

Abstract: To predict hydraulic jump characteristics for channel design, jump height may be determined by calculating the subcritical sequent depth from momentum theory. In closed conduits, however, a hydraulic jump may fill the ...

Abstract: Computer‐based terrain models have become increasingly popular as a tool for automating much of the geometrical data acquisition necessary for hydrologic analyses. An algorithm is presented that uses triangulated irregular ...

Abstract: Flooding is a hazard with serious socioeconomic consequences for all activities and infrastructure within an affected floodplain. Accurate delineation of flood extents and depths within the floodplain is essential for flood ...

Abstract: Computer based floodplain delineation tools have become increasingly popular in flood hazard mapping and floodplain management. Water resources engineers are using these tools as a part of their professional practices. A ...
