Unsteady High Velocity Flood Flows and the Development of Rating Curves in a Himalayan Basin under Climate Change Scenarios
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discussion of “SWAT-Based Evapotranspirative Water Conservation Analysis Performed on Irrigated Croplands to Determine Potential Regional Water Savings” by Andrew Gayley
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Multicriteria Evaluation Approach for Assessing Parametric Uncertainty during Extreme Peak and Low Flow Conditions over Snow Glaciated and Inland Catchments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper examines model uncertainties associated with streamflow by characterizing it into extreme high (peak) flows and low flows in two different catchments, viz. a snowmelt-induced hilly catchment (Satluj) and an ...
Evaluation of Rule and Decision Tree Induction Algorithms for Generating Climate Change Scenarios for Temperature and Pan Evaporation on a Lake Basin
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Climate change scenarios generated by general circulation models (GCMs) have too coarse a spatial resolution to be useful in planning disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation strategies at regional to river/lake ...
Multicriteria Evaluation Approach for Assessing Parametric Uncertainty during Extreme Peak and Low Flow Conditions over Snow Glaciated and Inland Catchments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper examines model uncertainties associated with streamflow by characterizing it into extreme high (peak) flows and low flows in two different catchments, viz. a snowmelt-induced hilly catchment (Satluj) and an ...
Precipitation Simulation Based on k-Nearest Neighbor Approach Using Gamma Kernel
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a weather generator that produces new values of precipitation to generate realistic weather sequences. The model has been applied to a network of 14 meteorological stations around the Upper Thames River ...
Nonparametric Statistical Downscaling of Temperature, Precipitation, and Evaporation in a Semiarid Region in India
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The climate impact studies in hydrology often rely on climate change information at fine spatial resolution. Because general circulation models (GCMs) operate on a coarse scale, the output from a GCM has to be downscaled ...
Application of the Standardized Precipitation Index and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index for Evaluation of Irrigation Demands at Three Sites in Jamaica
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Agricultural production is a significant contributor to the economy of Jamaica, which is situated in the northwestern Caribbean Sea; this production is heavily dependent on seasonal rainfall because only approximately 10% ...
Simulation of the Streamflow for the Rio Nuevo Watershed of Jamaica for Use in Agriculture Water Scarcity Planning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Jamaica’s water resources are under increasing risk of degradation and depletion, especially in light of increasing population growth, urbanization, and climate change. In this study, the soil and water assessment tool ...
