Most models will attempt to extract losses (interception, surface storage, infiltration) from the input and build a runoff hydrograph using empirical curves or by routing the excess water. Even the simplest models generally involve many parameters to describe these processes. Some parameters are estimated from published values, and others are set based on past practice and calibration of the mo...

Extreme climate events are becoming more intense in Melbourne in recent years. This increasing intensity of excessive rainfall has an adverse effect on the sewer network by causing sewage overflow hazards. Extreme rainfall events increase flow into the sewer system, both directly (inflow) and through infiltration into sewer. As a result of this Rainfall Derived Infiltration and Inflow (RDII), S...

Abstract This study presents the preliminary stage of development a conjunctive surface-subsurface model for simulating flow in swale. The surface is modelled by one-dimensional dynamic wave equation. To improve accuracy, third-order numerical scheme used to solve advection terms model. Meanwhile, subsurface as vertical through nondeformable porous media without air compression effect. At stage...

abstract the aim of this study, is to evaluate the effect of loss methods application on run-off volume and hydrograph shape used by hydrologic models. in this research, four loss methods including constant loss (φ index), initial loss-loss rate, scs and constant fraction approach were applied to be evaluated. to do this, clark rainfall-runoff model was applied for 24 storm events from kasilain...

dashte-mashhad reservoir provides the water supply needed for irrigating 120 acres of agricultural lands and also the soft water for people living in mashhad, chenaran, golbahar and a number of villages in the region. the deep wells of the region have been using the water stored in this reservoir since 1350 in a rate which exceeds that of water being imported to it, hence the decrement of the w...

Local scouring around the bridges piers has always been considered as a problem, especially in rivers. If we do not take the necessary actions to avoid the occurrence of this phenomenon or to reduce its influence, then the bridge's piers will be destroyed. Placing the bridge piers' foundation far from the earth's surface will turn out in a plan which is not economic at all. Experimental studies...
