Data assimilation (DA) holds considerable potential for improving hydrologic predictions as demonstrated in numerous research studies. However, advances in hydrologic DA research have not been adequately or timely implemented in operational forecast systems to improve the skill of forecasts for better informed real-world decision making. This is due in part to a lack of mechanisms to properly q...

Abstract Authors propose a beneficial methodology for hydrological planning in their study. Prospective evaluations of the basins’ net capacity can be done using technique presented. The HEC-HMS (Hydrologic Modelling System) software used to estimate basin, sediment emitted. For certain precipitation, this allows estimating, within range, gradual blockage reservoir, and even projected date tota...

Changing of precipitation regime and intensification extreme storms in semi-arid regions because climate change requires the use numerical models to forecast outlet hydrographs. In this paper, HEC-HMS software was applied using a loss method curve number CN estimate excess parametric unit hydrograph model compute transformation into direct runoff over watershed. The Muskingum-Cunge routing used...

Climate change is likely to affect the generation of energy from California’s high-elevation hydropower systems. To investigate these impacts, this study formulates a linear programming model of an 11-reservoir hydroelectric system operated by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District in the Upper American River basin. Four sets of hydrologic scenarios are developed using the Variable Infiltrat...

The systematic decline of in situ networks for hydrologic measurements has been recognized as a crucial limitation to advancing hydrologic monitoring in medium to large basins, especially those that are already sparsely instrumented. As a collective response, sections of the hydrologic community have recently forged partnerships for the development of space-borne missions for cost-effective, ye...

There is an immediate need to use available modeling tools quantify environmental flows targets where changing climate and human activity has altered hydroecologically important streamflow regimes. A model performance assessment was undertaken using observed data collected from five nested gauging sites in a mixed land watershed of the central US. An integrated approach used couple The Soil Wat...

The present paper discusses a coupled gridded crop modeling and hydrologic modeling system that can examine the benefits of irrigation and costs of irrigation and the coincident impact of the irrigation water withdrawals on surface water hydrology. The system is applied to the Southeastern U.S. The system tools to be discussed include a gridded version (GriDSSAT) of the crop modeling system DSS...
