Modeling Hydrologic Phenomena [Free opinion]

Hydrologic Modeling Consistency

Computer applications to storm runoff prediction have revolutionized the watershed modeling techniques. In general, a watershed is modeled as a system with inputs and outputs (Chow 1964). A system can be lumped or distributed, depending upon the spatial and temporal characteristics of the design variables used in the model. A lumped parameter ignores the variability in space. On the other hand,...

Hydrologic Modeling System (hec-hms):

Many cities have been built along large rivers. The rivers can provide a source of drinking water, act as receiving water for treated effluent, provide navigation for shipping, and other beneficial uses. However, the city must also be protected from flooding due to the close proximity to the river. Hydrologic analysis plays a crucial role in the development of plans for protecting a river city....

A Weather-type Hydrologic Approach to Runoff Phenomena

Hydrologic Modeling of Detention Pond

Urban watersheds produce an instantaneous response to rainfall. That results in stormwater runoff in excess of the capacity of drainage systems. The excess stormwater must be managed to prevent flooding and erosion of streams. Management can be achieved with the help of structural stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs). Detention ponds is one such BMP commonly found in the Austin, TX, USA....

Contrary Opinion Phenomena in an Artificial Stock Market

This paper presents an artificial market model to clarify the definition of the contrary opinion phenomena. Our research target is to show the contrary opinion, which is based on market participants’ experiences, statistically. At first, we constructed a more realistic artificial market model and simulated it. Second, we selected ‘highly corresponded forecasts’ among the fitted sample paths. Th...
