Effect of Rain Gauge Proximity on Rainfall Estimation for Problematic Urban Coastal Watersheds in Virginia Beach, Virginia
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In urban areas, it is important to have spatially and temporally dense rainfall measurements for flood modeling, monitoring, and prediction. The objective of this paper is to quantify the effect of rain gauge proximity on ...
Quantifying the Impact of Climate Change on Peak Stream Discharge for Watersheds of Varying Sizes in the Coastal Plain of Virginia
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Civil infrastructure systems have traditionally been designed assuming stationarity in precipitation. However, climate change is making this assumption invalid, affecting both existing infrastructure designed assuming ...
Impact of Sea-Level Rise on Roadway Flooding in the Hampton Roads Region, Virginia
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study determines the most critically vulnerable major roadways in Norfolk and Virginia Beach, Virginia. Sea-level rise predictions are combined with the mean higher high water and 99% tidal datums and storm surge ...
Impact of Geospatial Data Enhancements for Regional-Scale 2D Hydrodynamic Flood Modeling: Case Study for the Coastal Plain of Virginia
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Hydrology in low-relief coastal plains is especially challenging to simulate in flood modeling applications. Two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic models are often necessary, but creating such models for regional-scale systems ...
