(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Total maximum daily load (TMDL) reports archived in the USEPA database can provide useful guidance for the development of new TMDLs and watershed management plans by aiding the selection process for the most appropriate ... -
Validating and Enhancing Extreme Precipitation Projections by Downscaled Global Climate Model Results and Copula Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Extreme precipitation has posed a huge risk to society and the environment. It is crucial to be able to accurately analyze extreme precipitation in order to reduce its potential risk. This paper presents a validation ... -
Design of Micropool for Stormwater Detention Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)A micropool is a small wet pool placed in front of the outlet structure installed at a stormwater extended detention basin. An extended detention basin is sized with a user-specified drain time in order to meet the stormwater ... -
Application of Climate Projections and Monte Carlo Approach for Assessment of Future River Flow: Khorramabad River Basin, Iran
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper assesses the impact of climate change uncertainties on the Khorramabad River basin’s runoff in Lorestan Province, Iran. Five atmosphere-ocean general circulation models’ (AOGCMs) [Hadley Centre Coupled Model, ... -
Decision-Support Tool for Constructing Robust Rainfall IDF Relations in Consideration of Model Uncertainty
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) relations are essential for estimating extreme rainfalls for the design of various hydraulic structures. However, in current engineering practice, the construction of these relations ... -
Field-Scale Monitoring of Urban Green Area Rainfall-Runoff Processes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Rainfall-runoff-generating mechanisms in urban green areas are scarcely understood, and limited knowledge and data on rainfall-runoff processes are available. Therefore, a large-scale experimental field station was established ... -
Consistency of Extreme Flood Estimation Approaches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Estimations of low-probability flood events are frequently used to plan infrastructure and to determine the dimensions of flood protection measures. Several well-established methods exist for estimating low-probability ... -
Experimental Study on Seepage Characteristics of Fractured Rock Mass and Its Electrical Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Fissure seepage is the main factor that causes mine water disasters. Physical models of the fractured rock mass with various widths of fracture were designed to perform the seepage test, which demonstrated the seepage ... -
Variation in Hydrological Components of Reservoirs as a Response to El Niño Southern Oscillation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is an irregular periodic variation of atmospheric pressure and sea surface temperatures over the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean, affecting climate in most of the tropics and subtropics, ... -
Next-Generation Intensity–Duration–Frequency Curves to Reduce Errors in Peak Flood Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Precipitation-based intensity–duration–frequency (PREC-IDF) curves are a standard tool used to derive design floods for hydraulic infrastructure worldwide. In snow-dominated regions where a large percentage of flood events ... -
Effect of Calibration and Validation Decisions on Streamflow Modeling for a Heterogeneous and Low Runoff–Producing River Basin in India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Spatial heterogeneity of a river basin increases the predicting uncertainty of streamflow using hydrological models, and for such river basins calibration and prediction become a challenge. For a large and low flow–producing ... -
Spatiotemporal Changes in Precipitation and Temperature in the Huaibei Plain and the Relation between Local Precipitation and Global Teleconnection Patterns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The Huaibei Plain is one of the most severe water scarcity areas in China. Understanding of hydroclimatic variation in this area at different timescales and its relationship with global teleconnection patterns are important ... -
Variations in Basin Sediment Yield and Channel Sediment Transport in the Upper Yangtze River and Influencing Factors
