Rescaling Transposed Extreme Rainfall within a Heterogeneous Region
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Geospatial transposition of observed storms can be useful for examining potential rainfall and flood hazards, and several recent software packages help facilitate transposition of remote sensing–based rainfall observations ... -
Relationship of Drought and Engineered Water Supply: Multivariate Index for Quantifying Sustained Water Stress in Anthropogenically Affected Subbasins
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Drought occurs across all climates worldwide, but has different impacts from one region to another. Because water is the most basic of human needs, drought and water shortage can result in severe socioeconomic difficulties ... -
Water Quality–Based Environmental Flow under Plausible Temperature and Pollution Scenarios
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study aimed to estimate water quality–based minimum environmental flow (Eflow) of a river under the impact of different plausible scenarios. The water quality model QUAL2K was deployed to simulate levels of dissolved ... -
Hybrid Wavelet-M5 Model Tree for Rainfall-Runoff Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In this study, the hybrid wavelet-M5 model was introduced to model the rainfall-runoff process via three different data division strategies (75%–25%, 60%–40%, and 50%–50%) for two different catchments at both daily and ... -
Diagnostic Evaluation of Hydrologic Models Employing Flow Duration Curve
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The assessment of water availability using hydrological models is subject to modeling uncertainties. Model performance evaluation based on conventional likelihood measures on an overall time-series simulation has shortcomings. ... -
Bivariate Risk Analysis of Droughts Using a Nonparametric Multivariate Standardized Drought Index and Copulas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The Nonparametric Multivariate Standardized Drought Index (NMSDI) based on precipitation and soil moisture data in conjunction with copula functions is of primary concern in this study. We are the first to investigate ... -
Closure to “Influence of Daily Regulation of a Reservoir on Downstream Navigation” by Yizi Shang, Xiaofei Li, Xuerui Gao, Yanxiang Guo, Yuntao Ye, and Ling Shang

Comparing Watershed Scale P Losses from Manure Spreading in Temperate Climates across Mechanistic Soil P Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Watershed scale modeling is commonly used to evaluate nutrient fluxes to surface waterbodies and the appropriateness of regulatory intervention, such as the implementation of a total maximum daily load (TMDL). The Soil and ... -
Evaluating the Emergent Controls of Stream Water Quality with Similitude and Dimensionless Numbers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The emergent hydrologic and land-use controls of coastal-urban stream water quality were evaluated by using similitude and dimensional analysis, considering southeast Florida a prototype of growing coastal-urban environments. ... -
New Policy for Transparency of Data, Models, and Code

New Model for Simulating Hydrologic Processes under Influence of Surface Depressions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Surface depressions significantly influence hydrologic processes. In traditional semidistributed models, however, the entire area is connected to the outlet of a watershed and surface depressions are often lumped as a ... -
Runoff Capture Methods Developed for Stormwater Low-Impact Development Designs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Efforts under stormwater best management practices have led to low-impact development (LID) concepts for innovative stormwater designs. The key issue involved in the revolution of stormwater management from quantity to ... -
Bivariate Flood Frequency Analysis of Nonstationary Flood Characteristics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Modeling the simultaneous behavior of flood characteristics, namely peak, volume, and duration, is essential for water resource planning and management. A multivariate probability approach, which provides a comprehensive ... -
Hurricane Harvey Highlights: Need to Assess the Adequacy of Probable Maximum Precipitation Estimation Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Probable maximum precipitation (PMP) is the primary criterion used to design flood protection measures for critical infrastructures such as dams and nuclear power plants. Based on our analysis using the Stage IV (ST4) ... -
Relative Performance of Intensity-Duration-Frequency Functions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The forms of the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) function that best fit rainfall data in the United States are investigated. Analyses using data from 9,264 rainfall stations in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ... -
Diagnosing Credibility of a Large-Scale Conceptual Hydrological Model in Simulating Streamflow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)A robust hierarchical operational testing scheme has been adopted to test the credibility of a newly developed large-scale conceptual hydrological model in the Subarnarekha basin, India. We have evaluated the results using ... -
