Predicting Model Uncertainty at River Junctions due to Drainage Network Structure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The mixing of water, solutes, and sediments from two or more tributaries produces streamflow possessing unique biogeochemical, ecological, hydrological, and morphological signatures. To understand and predict these signatures, ...
Using GIS to Determine Extent of Gauged Streams in a Region
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A geographic information system (GIS) based approach to quantify the coverage provided by a stream gauge network is presented. This approach relies on digital elevation models, a digital representation of the observed ...
Trend Assessment in Rainfall-Runoff Behavior in Urbanizing Watersheds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A typical flood frequency analysis is based on gauged annual maximum discharges. One assumption behind the analysis is that the measured discharge signal is stationary. The validity of this assumption can be difficult to ...
Effects of Impervious Area Estimation Methods on Simulated Peak Discharges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, the variability of simulated flood discharges is evaluated using two methods for estimating impervious surfaces and common design methods in the Mission Creek watershed
Slope Interrupter Best Management Practice Experiments on a Tilting Soil Bed with Simulated Rainfall
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper documents an experimental study conducted to evaluate the performance of two commonly used sediment treatment control products, albeit with contrasting treatment technologies: a fiber roll or wattle (i.e., ...
Subsurface Response Model for Storm Events within Susquehanna River Basin
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A three-equation model for subsurface response is presented. The model is based on storm events for various sized watersheds within the Susquehanna River Basin. The equations represent the peak flow, time to peak, and time ...
Runoff Characteristics for Construction Site Erosion Control Practices
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Controlling soil erosion during and after construction is a major concern due to the impacts of sediment on stream water quality, and many studies have focused on the effectiveness of erosion control best management practices ...
