Exponentiality Test Procedures for Large Samples of Rainfall Event Characteristics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The main purpose of this paper is to examine and recommend procedures that can be used to statistically test the exponentiality of large amounts of sample data for rainfall event volume, duration, and interevent time. Based ... -
Estimation and Characterization of Deep Percolation from Rice and Berseem Fields Using Lysimeter Experiments on Sandy Loam Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Deep percolation from the root zone of water intensive crops reduces irrigation efficiency, minimizes water productivity and becomes an environmental threat by carrying chemical residues to groundwater systems. Quantification ... -
Unsteady Groundwater Flow over Sloping Beds: Analytical Quantification of Stream–Aquifer Interaction in Presence of Thin Vertical Clogging Layer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In this paper, new analytical solutions are presented to quantify interaction of water between a sloping aquifer and stream of varying heads in presence of a thin vertical sedimentary layer. The initial hydrogeological ... -

Evaluation of Estimation of Distribution Algorithm to Calibrate Computationally Intensive Hydrologic Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) is a new evolutionary algorithm developed as an alternative to the traditional genetic algorithm (GA). The EDA guides the search by avoiding the crossover and mutation operators ... -
Assessing Uncertainty in Hydrological Processes Using a Fuzzy Vertex Simulation Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In this study, a fuzzy vertex simulation method (FVSM) is developed for assessing parameter uncertainty on modeling outputs of Xiangxi River Basin in China. The FVSM couples a fuzzy vertex analysis approach with a ... -
Sediment Export Modeling in Cold-Climate Prairie Watersheds
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Nonpoint source pollution is a critical problem in Canadian prairie watersheds. However, sediment mobilization and export are poorly represented in existing models for these watersheds. The poor representation is partly ... -
Wavelet-Based Hydrological Time Series Forecasting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)These days wavelet analysis is becoming popular for hydrological time series simulation and forecasting. There are, however, a set of key issues influencing the wavelet-aided data preprocessing and modeling practice that ... -
Optimization of Fuzzified Hedging Rules for Multipurpose and Multireservoir Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In the conventional zone-based hedging rule, as a common approach, the rationing factors are changed from one zone to another at once, which is not proper for actual reservoir operation. Hence a fuzzy-rule-based approach ... -

New Methodology to Develop Future Flood Frequency under Changing Climate by Means of Physically Based Numerical Atmospheric-Hydrologic Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Effect of climate change on hydrologic flow regimes, particularly extreme events, necessitates modeling of future flows in order to best inform water resources management. This study simulated future flows in the Cache ... -
A Stochastic Optimization Algorithm for Optimizing Flood Risk Management Measures Including Rainfall Uncertainties and Nonphysical Flood Damages
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)One of the basic assumptions usually made by researchers for obtaining optimal designs of flood mitigation measures that take into account the associated uncertainties is consideration of flood damage probability directly ... -
Discharge Estimation of a Tidal River with Reverse Flow: Case of the Chao Phraya River, Thailand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The aims of this research are to investigate the hydrodynamics in the downstream part of a tidal river and to rapidly estimate the discharge in the case of the lower Chao Phraya River, Thailand. During flood tide, the depth ... -

Real-Time Flood Forecasting System: Case Study of Hsia-Yun Watershed, Taiwan
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Typhoons and heavy storms frequently cause severe inundation in Taiwan. For early flood warning purposes, a real-time flood forecasting system was acknowledged as a pivotal tool and developed in this study. The system ... -
Numerical Analysis of CO2 and Water Displacement in Natural Rock Cores Based on a Fully Heterogeneous Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Based on a core flooding experiment, a multiphase flow model considering the heterogeneity of porosity, permeability, capillary pressure, and relative permeability (i.e., the fully heterogeneous model) is proposed to ... -
Examination of the Spencer-McCuen Outlier-Detection Test for Log-Pearson Type 3 Distributed Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Identification of outliers in flood records can be an important step in a robust flood frequency analysis procedure. Bulletin 17B includes the Grubbs-Beck test (with α=10%) as an objective criterion of whether the smallest ... -
Estimating Flood Discharges in Reservoir-Regulated River Basins by Integrating Synthetic SWOT Satellite Observations and Hydrologic Modeling
