Extracting Hydrologic Information from Spatial Data for HMS Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A methodology is presented for extracting topographic, topologic, and hydrologic information, from the digital spatial data of a hydrologic system, for hydrologic modeling with HMS. Methods for stream and watershed delineation ...
Hydrodynamic Dispersive and Advective Processes in Watershed Responses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A model for estimating the watershed response is presented and used for assessing how the watershed size and spatial variability of the hydrodynamic parameters (i.e., wave celerity and dispersion coefficient) affect the ...
Relative Importance of the Different Rainfall Statistics in the Calibration of Stochastic Rainfall Generation Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stochastic rainfall generators are used in hydrologic analysis because they can provide precipitation input to models whenever data are not available, and their parameters are calculated so that the long-term statistics ...
Application of Multimodal Optimization for Uncertainty Estimation of Computationally Expensive Hydrologic Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) framework has been widely used in hydrologic studies. However, the extensive random sampling causes a high computational burden that prohibits the efficient application ...
Storm Identification and Tracking Algorithm for Modeling of Rainfall Fields Using 1-h NEXRAD Rainfall Data in Texas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A method to identify and track rainfall structures using
Hourly Disaggregation of Daily Rainfall in Texas Using Measured Hourly Precipitation at Other Locations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A method to disaggregate daily rainfall into hourly precipitation is evaluated across Texas. Based on measured precipitation data, the method generates disaggregated hourly hyetographs that match measured daily totals by ...
Unit Hydrograph Peak Rate Factor Estimation for Texas Watersheds
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In many cases, estimation of the peak discharge is the primary goal of hydrologic modeling. We employed a dataset of 1,648 rainfall-runoff events in 104 watersheds in Texas to explore the peak rate factor (PRF) of 2.08 ...
Estimation of Average Rainfall Areal Reduction Factors in Texas Using NEXRAD Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Precipitation areal reduction factors (ARFs) for the
Uncertainty in Flood Inundation Mapping: Current Issues and Future Directions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents key issues associated with uncertainty in flood inundation mapping. Currently flood inundation extent is represented as a deterministic map without consideration to the inherent uncertainties associated ...
Documenting Stormwater Quality on Texas Highways and Adjacent Vegetated Roadsides
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The primary objective of this study is the documentation of stormwater quality of vegetated roadsides of two Texas highways (State Highway 6 in College Station and Loop 360 in Austin), both of which had high average daily ...
