Abstract: In 1946, Massé discussed the optimal operation of a single reservoir for hydroelectric energy production. He obtained his results by both economic reasoning and rigorous mathematical derivations using a generalized form ...

Abstract: A variable infiltration rate model for surface irrigation is developed. The derivations and the forms of the equations used are similar to the case where the infiltration rate is constant. A mean infiltration rate is assumed ...

Abstract: The general problem of advance and recession of irrigation water on an initially dry surface is formulated using the kinematic‐wave theory. In this part of the study, the infiltration rate is assumed constant in time and ...

Abstract: A new flood‐routing method is compared with the DWOPER model. The new method combines a noninertia (or diffusion model) simplification of the de Saint Venant equation with a statistical procedure. It accounts for the ...

Abstract: Once the soil surface reaches saturation, rain excess is generated. This rain excess may run over and infiltrate in other areas of the watershed. In this study, we consider three scenarios of distributing rain excess/run-on ...
