Simplified Model for Simulating Basin-Scale Surface Runoff Hydrographs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simplified model for estimating the hydrologic response to rainfall events at basin scale is developed in this study. It involves an abstraction of the real basin geometry based on networks of planes and channels and ...
Laboratory Experimental Investigation of Infiltration by the Run-on Process
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes laboratory experiments that provide evidence of infiltration of excess runoff water from upstream areas that moves downslope over unsaturated areas (run-on process). The experiments were carried out ...
Comparison of Theoretical and Experimental Soil Moisture Profiles under Complex Rainfall Patterns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The accuracy of soil moisture vertical profiles simulated by a conceptual model during erratic rainfall is investigated through laboratory and field experiments. Simulations were performed by a conceptual model earlier ...
Spillway Collapse of the Montedoglio Dam on the Tiber River, Central Italy: Data Collection and Event Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A large number of dams were built in Italy in the first decades of the last century to supply the needs of industrial, electric power, agricultural, and drinking purposes. Among them, the Montedoglio dam, an important ...
A New Empirical Formulation of the Areal Reduction Factor for Design Rainfalls Applied to the Umbria Region in Central Italy
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A reliable estimate of the areal reduction factor (ARF), useful for implementing the upscaling procedure of point rainfall information, is of crucial relevance in many hydrological applications aimed at hydraulic structures ...
