Land Use and Land Cover Impact on Probable Maximum Flood and Sedimentation for Artificial Reservoirs: Case Study in the Western United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Unanticipated peak inflows that can exceed the inflow design flood (IDF) for spillways and result in possible storage loss in reservoirs from increased sedimentation rates lead to a greater risk for downstream floods. ...
Impact of Artificial Reservoir Size and Land Use/Land Cover Patterns on Probable Maximum Precipitation and Flood: Case of Folsom Dam on the American River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The design of the dams usually considers available historical data for analysis of the flood frequency. The limitation of this approach is the potential shift in flood frequency due to physically plausible factors that ...
