Distribution of surface imperviousness in small urban catchments predicts runoff peak flows and stream flashiness

Volume-based Runoff Coefficeints for Urban Catchments

The rational method is derived as a special case of kinematic wave flow. The definition of runoff coefficient is expanded from the flow-based ratio into volume-based ratio between the volumes under runoff hydrograph and rainfall hyetograph. The new method presented in this paper provides a dimensionless approach to theoretically derive the runoff coefficients for both the conventional two-flow ...

Estimated height and peak runoff rate in a stream erosion in Kojoor region Nowshahr – North Alborz

Flooding is a natural hazard events and Survey data from the annual losses due to flood in Iran and the world show the extent of the flood damage caused on natural and human resources. To estimate height of the runoff and discharge maximum in basins and stream erosion, there are various experimental methods and mathematical models that one of these models, SCS model is. Thus, the aim of this st...

UAV-based mapping of surface imperviousness for water runoff modelling

Modelling rainfall-runoff processes in urban catchments has become an increasingly relevant issue, for instance to estimate the risk associated with urban flooding in densely populated areas. This needs hydrological models which, besides rainfall information, require good input data of detailed surface characteristics, such as imperviousness to accurately predict rainfall-runoff. One way to obt...

High-quality observation of surface imperviousness for urban runoff modelling using UAV imagery

Influence and modelling of urban runoff on the peak flows in rivers.

Surface waters and urban drainage systems are usually studied separately. However there are important interactions between both systems. Urban drainage systems can have an important impact on the surface waters, mainly at combined sewer overflows. On the other hand during periods of high water levels in a river, the runoff from the urban drainage system can be significantly influenced by backwa...
