Abstract: Application of Soil Conservation Service’s (SCS) dimensionless unit hydrograph method for ungauged basins in Indiana yields very high peak flows and short time to peaks for the northern region, thus producing unrealistic ...

Abstract: The process of creating flood inundation maps is affected by uncertainties in data, modeling approaches, parameters, and geoprocessing tools. Generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) is one of the popular ...

Abstract: Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) managed by FEMA have been providing ongoing flood information to most communities in the United States over the past half-century. However, the uncertainty associated with the modeling of ...

Abstract: The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS, formerly the Soil Conservation Service, SCS) unit hydrograph (UH) is one of the most commonly used synthetic UH methods for hydrologic modeling and engineering design all ...

Abstract: Hydraulic structure design near stream confluences requires meticulous consideration of combined flows from both tributaries, especially when the structure is located on small tributaries that drain into larger downstream ...

Abstract: Despite the documented evidence of geomorphic characteristics on flooding, an understanding of the relative effects of the geomorphic characteristics on flooding remains elusive. The objective of this study is to investigate ...

Abstract: The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has a large and expanding surface water level-monitoring network for various water bodies including lakes and streams. SFWMD seeks to optimize the existing network of ...

Abstract: This paper presents key issues associated with uncertainty in flood inundation mapping. Currently flood inundation extent is represented as a deterministic map without consideration to the inherent uncertainties associated ...
