Sensitivity of Entropy Method to Time Series Length in Hydrometric Network Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Streamflow Prediction in Ungauged Basins: Review of Regionalization Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive review of a fundamental and challenging issue in hydrology: the regionalization of streamflow and its advances over the last two decades, specifically 1990–2011. This includes a discussion ...
Comparison of Interpolation, Statistical, and Data-Driven Methods for Imputation of Missing Values in a Distributed Soil Moisture Dataset
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Missing values in in situ monitoring data is a problem often encountered in hydrologic research and applications. Values in a data set may be missing because of sensor error or failure of data recording devices. Whereas ...
Application of Support Vector Machine in Lake Water Level Prediction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper examines the potential of the support vector machine (SVM) in long-term prediction of lake water levels. Lake Erie mean monthly water levels from 1918 to 2001 are used to predict future water levels up to
Variability in Canadian Seasonal Streamflow Information and Its Implication for Hydrometric Network Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydrologic extremes such as severe storms, floods, and droughts are inherently seasonal in nature and remain the main concern in designing hydrometric networks. In general, hydrometric networks have been designed without ...
Improved Spring Peak-Flow Forecasting Using Ensemble Meteorological Predictions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Multivariate Reservoir Inflow Forecasting Using Temporal Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experiment on predicting multivariate water resource time series, specifically the prediction of hydropower reservoir inflow using temporal neural networks, is presented. This paper focuses on dynamic neural networks ...
Estimation of Continuous Streamflow in Ontario Ungauged Basins: Comparison of Regionalization Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Regionalization, a process of transferring hydrological information [i.e., parameters of a conceptual rainfall-runoff model, namely, the McMaster University-Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning (MAC-HBV)] from gauged ...
Assessing the Need for Downscaling RCM Data for Hydrologic Impact Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Climate change impact studies have generally downscaled large-scale global climate model (GCM) output data; however, few studies have considered downscaling regional climate model (RCM) data. It is unclear whether further ...
Assessing Hydrologic Uncertainty Processor Performance for Flood Forecasting in a Semiurban Watershed
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A key challenge in enhancing flood forecast relies in the difficulty of reducing predictive uncertainty. The precipitation-dependent hydrologic uncertainty processor (HUP) is a flexible model independent Bayesian processor ...
