Abstract: Empirical quantiles constitute a simple alternative for estimating flow values for which there is a specified nonexceedance probability. The standard error of empirical quantile estimators is a measure of the variability ...

Abstract: This paper presents the most frequently used probability-density functions in groundwater hydrology and practical ways to apply them. The paper provides several examples of probability-density functions dealing with (1) their ...

Abstract: An implicit solution determining the seepage-face dimension formed in steady-state flow through an aquifer connecting two water bodies is achieved based on the Dupuit assumption and conservation-of-flow-rate considerations. ...

Abstract: This research quantifies the impact of lake evaporation and rainfall on optimal reservoir capacity and water yield. A reservoir design and operation model was developed and applied to the Santa Ynez River basin of central ...

Abstract: The controlled ponding of water over level terrain in basin irrigation or wetland flooding is described quantitatively as a three-phase process. During the first phase, water is applied at a known rate until ponding emerges ...

Abstract: The ponding of water over level terrain caused by storms of arbitrary temporal intensity is quantified by solving water-balance differential equations involving cumulative rainfall, infiltration, the depth of ponded water, ...

Abstract: A statistical method for deriving frequency distribution functions of minima of streamflows is presented. An innovative feature of the proposed methodology is that it does not require the specification of a parent distribution ...
