Hydrologic Trends and Correlations in South Texas River Basins: 1950–2009
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The identification of seasonal and annual trends in precipitation and streamflow volumes at the regional scale contributes to the understanding of global climate change and variation and is essential to the development of ...
Validation of the NEXRAD DSP Product with a Dense Rain Gauge Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Next-Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) system digital storm-total precipitation product (DSP;
Application of a Distributed Hydrologic Model to the November 17, 2004, Flood of Bull Creek Watershed, Austin, Texas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents a hydrologic analysis of a flood event that took place over a small urbanizing watershed in Austin, Texas. The physically based, distributed-parameter gridded surface subsurface hydrologic analysis ...
Physically Based Hydrological Modeling of the 2002 Floods in San Antonio, Texas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The July 2002 floods in South Texas resulted from excessive precipitation caused by a slow moving tropical wave accompanied by an abundance of tropical moisture, which resulted in 12 deaths and nearly $1 billion in damage. ...
Analysis of Flood Fatalities in Texas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Floods are the leading cause of fatalities connected with natural disasters in Texas. A combination of physiography and precipitation often result in extreme hydrologic conditions that cause floods in the state. This paper ...
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 ...
