Object-Oriented Software for Distributed Rainfall-Runoff Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A software environment for real-time flood forecasting using distributed models is presented. The system, Real-time Interactive Basin Simulator (RIBS), provides an object-oriented framework for implementation of a class ...
River Levee Overtopping: A Bivariate Methodology for Hydrological Characterization of Overtopping Failure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This research presents a bivariate methodology for the hydrological characterization of the overtopping failure for an existing river levee. Conventional procedures usually consider only one variable for the hydrologic ...
How Safe is Hydrologic Infrastructure Design? Analysis of Factors Affecting Extreme Flood Estimation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study evaluates the implicit safety level in hydrologic infrastructure design, performed in common practice with the calculation of the peak-flow frequency curve for high return periods (
Facing Future Water Scarcity in the Duero-Douro Basin: Comparative Effect of Policy Measures on Irrigation Water Availability
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study presents an analysis of possible policy measures to face water scarcity for agriculture in a long-term climate projection (2070–2100). Water availability was computed with the Water Availability and Adaptation ...
Use of Pressure Management to Reduce the Probability of Pipe Breaks: A Bayesian Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As pipe breaks in water distribution networks produce serious consequences, water authorities strive to minimize the frequency of their occurrence. Pressure management is an essential tool to reduce the frequency of breaks ...
