Evaluation of Parameter and Model Uncertainty in Simple Applications of a 1D Sediment Transport Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper separately evaluates two methods from Bayesian Statistics to estimate parameter and model uncertainty in simulations from a one-dimensional (1D) sediment transport model. The first method, multivariate shuffled ...
Method for Assessing Impacts of Parameter Uncertainty in Sediment Transport Modeling Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The predictions from a numerical sediment transport model inevitably include uncertainty because of assumptions in the model’s mathematical structure, the values of parameters, and various other sources. In this paper, the ...
Evaluation of Methods for Representing Urban Terrain in Storm-Water Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many storm-water modeling problems consider watersheds comprised of complex flow networks including surfaces, streets, pipes, and channels. Ideally, hydrologic methods would be used to model the accumulation of runoff on ...
Impact of Shallow Groundwater on Evapotranspiration Losses from Uncultivated Land in an Irrigated River Valley
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In many agricultural regions of the West, decades of intensive irrigation have produced shallow water tables under not only cultivated fields but also the nearby uncultivated land. It is possible that the high water tables ...
Identifying Runoff Production Mechanisms for Dam Safety Applications in the Colorado Front Range
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Hydrologic analyses are used in dam safety evaluations to determine the flow a dam must pass without failing. Many current guidelines model flood runoff solely by an infiltration-excess mechanism. Saturation-excess runoff ...
