A REAL-TIME RUNOFF PREDICTION METHOD USING A DISTRIBUTED RUNOFF MODEL INCORPORATING MULTIPLE DAM RESERVOIR OPERATION

Evaluation of monthly runoff estimated by a rainfall-runoff regression model for reservoir yield assessment

Results of further evaluation tests of a monthly rainfall-runoff model used for extending streamflow data records in England and Wales are presented. In particular, since the objective of the record extension exercise was to make available long enough data records for reservoir yield assessment, model performance in reproducing the reservoir storage-yield-reliability relationship during calibra...

Real Time Snowmelt Runoff Forecasting using ERS SAR PRI Data

Real time forecasts of the snowmelt runoff up to six days in advance were carried out for basins in the Alps of the Zillertal, Austria, which are part of a network of reservoirs for hydropower generation. The forecasts are based on the Snowmelt Runoff Model (SRM). Input data to SRM are taken from online measurements of hydro-meteorological parameters, from numerical weather forecast models, and...

Improving runoff risk estimates: Formulating runoff as a bivariate process using the SCS curve number method

[1] The Soil Conservation Service curve number (SCS-CN) method is widely used to predict storm runoff for hydraulic design purposes, such as sizing culverts and detention basins. As traditionally used, the probability of calculated runoff is equated to the probability of the causative rainfall event, an assumption that fails to account for the influence of variations in soil moisture on runoff ...

Monthly runoff prediction using phase space reconstruction

A nonlinear prediction method, developed based on the ideas gained from deterministic chaos theory, is employed: (a) to predict monthly runoff; and (b) to detect the possible presence of chaos in runoff dynamics. The method first reconstructs the single-dimensional (or variable) runoff series in a multi-dimensional phase space to represent its dynamics, and then uses a local polynomial approach...
