Abstract: A numerical procedure is developed for quickly and accurately finding the location and flow depth of a flow transition (critical control section) in open channels with discharge gradually varying along the channel length. ...

Abstract: The general problem of solving for normal flow depth in open‐channel flow has a complication in that some types of channel cross sections do not always have a unique solution. This paper analyzes an alternative iterative ...

Abstract: The question of watershed response to changes in land use and land cover has received a great deal of attention in the hydrologic literature. One of the primary tools for quantifying such changes has been the paired watershed ...

Abstract: A semiquantitative analysis was used to assess the impacts of water rights appropriations and allocations in the Upper Rio Grande (URG) Basin, in Colorado. The study also explores the causes and effects of the changes on ...

Abstract: Hydraulic, sediment, land-use, and rock-erosivity data of 22 alluvial streams were used to evaluate conditions of bedload transport and the performance of selected bedload-transport equations. Transport categories of ...

Abstract: A process-based erosion model is used to study parameterization problems of sediment entrainment equations in overland flow areas. One of the equations for entrainment by flow is developed based on a theory of excess stream ...

Abstract: Effects of vegetative practices on suspended sediment discharge from ponderosa pine forests and

Abstract: The Santa Fe River Watershed in Santa Fe County, New Mexico was identified as one of the top five high risk nonpoint source pollution areas out in the Rio Grande Basin. This watershed was selected to demonstrate the use ...
