Advantages of Physically Based Flood Frequency Analysis with Long-Term Simulations for Iowa
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Flood frequency estimation in the United States has been primarily driven by statistical analysis for the past one hundred years. For ungauged locations, the regionalized equations are developed to provide annual exceedance ...
Evaluating the Efficacy of Actively Managed Distributed Storage Systems for Peak Flow Reduction Using Spatially Uniform Design Storms
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Extreme rainfall in midwestern United States has gotten more common over the last half century, thus increasing flooding events across the region. As a result, traditional flood mitigation measures are commonly overwhelmed ...
Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operation within an Actively Managed Distributed Storage Network Using the High-Resolution Rapid Refresh Product
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An increase in extreme rainfall frequency across the midwestern United States has been accompanied by an increase in damaging floods. The US has over 90,000 dams, more than 75% of which are small and rarely used for flood ...
Expanding and Enhancing Streamflow Prediction Capability of the National Water Model Using Real-Time Low-Cost Stage Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study demonstrates an approach to expand and improve the current prediction capability of the National Water Model (NWM). The primary objective is to examine the potential benefit of real-time local stage measurements ...
Investigating Utilization of Activated Distributed Storage Networks for Peak Flow Reduction Using Stochastic Storm Transposition
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The state of Iowa in the Central United States has experienced increasing flooding, with major events occurring most recently in 1993, 2008, 2011, and 2019. These floods caused over $23B in damage despite Iowa’s three flood ...
Development of Synthetic Rating Curves: Case Study in Iowa
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This case study describes an economically feasible approach to generate synthetic rating curves that enhance utility of stage-only river gauges. The study is based on a network of 250 bridge-mounted river-stage sensors ...
