Abstract: The effect of rigid, unsubmerged vegetation on flow resistance in wide flood plains was examined in this study. A series of experiments was run using rigid rods inserted into the flow field of a wide shallow flume. Several ...

Abstract: A risk‐based design procedure for hydrograph‐controlled release sewage lagoons is derived. This procedure is based on a stochastic analysis of flood interarrival time, duration, and volume. By modeling streamflow as a ...

Abstract: In this study, the principle of maximum entropy concept is used to estimate the soil moisture profile to a depth of near 50 cm. The procedure involves the use of the surface observation as the principle constraint in ...

Abstract: A geographic information system (GIS) was constructed for an urban watershed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and used to direct a hydrologic modeling effort for water-shed management. All pertinent features were geocoded into ...

Abstract: A geographic information system (GIS) is interfaced with a geomorphic-based hydrologic and sediment transport model. The modeling strategy makes use of the “grouped response unit” concept whereby land classes are identified ...

Abstract: A two‐dimensional velocity profile based upon the principle of maximum entropy (POME) for wide open channel flows is presented. The derivation is based on the conservation of mass and momentum. The resulting profile involves ...
