Emerging technologies of remote sensing and GIS were integrated to estimate runoff for watershed basins in China Taipei and Florida. Two basins were selected in each region, with each pair representing a static and a developing case. Remotely sensed images from the Landsat 4, 5, and 7 satellites were used to develop land cover maps of the study areas for the years 1990, 1995, and 2000. GIS anal...

Multivariate statistics are commonly used to identify the factors that control the dynamics of runoff or sediment yields during hydrological processes. However, one issue with the use of conventional statistical methods to address relationships between variables and runoff or sediment yield is multicollinearity. The main objectives of this study were to apply a method for effectively identifyin...

Understanding hydrological behavior is an important part of effective watershed management and planning. Runoff resulted from rainfall a component that needed for efficient water resource In this paper, GIS based SCS-CN runoff simulation model was applied to estimate in Awash river basin. Global Curve Number (GCN250), Maximum Soil Water Retention (S) Rainfall used as input model. The final surf...

in order to decrease the risks associated with the management of urban watersheds, the use of proper methods is an essential task to estimate the runoff with a high degree of confidence. time of concentration is one of factors that impacts on peak discharge and runoff volume. the objective of this study is to select the best method among the empirical formulas for estimating the time of concent...

Two types of unit hydrograph (UH) are discussed, with an emphasis on uncertainties. The paper reviews the 1-parameter triangular unit hydrograph (UH) employed to assist with systematic design flood hydrograph estimation for ungauged United Kingdom catchments. A 6-parameter rainfall-runoff model that incorporates a 3-parameter UH is also discussed. The precision and accuracy of characteristic de...
