Estimating The Importance Of Topological Routing For Modelling Water And Nitrogen Transport At Catchment Scale
نویسنده
چکیده
The catchment management of reservoirs for drinking water supply not only requires knowledge about the nitrogen discharge of every agricultural field. In order to recommend changes in land use management it is much more important to evaluate its influence to the nitrogen concentration in the reservoir. In order to achieve this the influence of processes that take place during transport must be considered.

Integrating Modelling And Field-Based Analysis For Improving Catchment-Scale Pollutant Management: An Application Of The Catchmods Model In The Moruya River Catchment
Water quality decline is a significant environmental issue in Australia and many other countries. Much emphasis has been placed on nutrient management especially for phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) in an attempt to reduce their loss to water bodies. Identifying nutrient sources and their transport potential can assist catchment managers to recognise critical nutrient sources and to devise manag...

Estimation of floods in a basin with various return periods is one of the effective management strategies for reducing flood damage. One of the methods for estimating flood discharge is to make synthetic unit hydrograph using the physical characteristics of the basin. The more accurate inputs of the model, the more validated results. Hence, in basins in which Instantaneous peak discharge is rec...

A manageable, relatively inexpensive model was constructed to predict the loss of nitrogen and phosphorus from a complex catchment to its drainage system. The model used an export coefficient approach, calculating the total nitrogen (N) and total phosphorus (P) load delivered annually to a water body as the sum of the individual loads exported from each nutrient source in its catchment. The exp...

The relationship between topography, land use, and topsoil moisture storage is investigated for a small catchment with undulating deep loess hilslopes in the south of the Netherlands. For a period of 10 months, soil moisture profiles have been measured weekly at 15 locations throughout the catchment. A Generalized Additive Model was employed to find relationships between the various factors inf...
متن کاملModelling the impact of landscape connectivity on catchment water balance and groundwater response
Terrain analysis based on digital elevation models is being routinely used in hydrological modelling. However, landscape connectivity enabling the routing of flow and nutrients from upslope landscape units to adjacent downslope landscape units within a sub watershed is not commonly incorporated into catchment scale models. This paper describes a process of generating connected landscape units w...
