River flow assessments and ecologically sustainable water management plans are now possible due to the advancement of sophisticated computer models. The US Army Corps Engineers developed HEC-HMS model, which can be used for various hydrological simulations. Rainfall-runoff modeling aids in estimating peak flows, is critical resource planning. On December 18, 2017, a heavy rainfall event ungauge...

in this research, performance of pattern search algorithm (ps) was investigated in order to optimize the nonlinear muskingum model parameters in contrast with the general algorithms, for wilson and karoun floods routing. wilson flood routing has been chosen to compare the ability of ps algorithm with other algorithms and, karoun flood routing has been chosen for a better evaluation of ps. the r...

Reducing the delivery of phosphorus (P) from land-applied manure to surface water is a priority in many watersheds. Manure application rate can be controlled to manage the risk of water quality degradation. The objective of this study was to evaluate how application rate of liquid swine manure affects the transport of sediment and P in runoff. Liquid swine manure was land-applied and incorporat...

Runoff, soil loss, sediment concentration, and particle size distribution of sediment eroded by runoff events were measured between 1976 and 2000 from 5 small agricultural watersheds on Vertisols at ICRISAT Center, Patancheru, India. The effects of storm size and land management system on total soil loss and size distribution of sediment during runoff are discussed. At the beginning of runoff e...

Urban runoff has been reported as the second most frequent cause of surface water pollution in the United States. Due to the incidence of runoff in urban areas, it was of interest to estimate the impact runoff may have to recent sediment quality within the lower reaches of the Passaic River. Study objectives included i) review of recent urban runoff studies to determine the occurrence and patte...

Conservation tillage mitigates soil loss in cropland because plant residues help protect the soil, but effects on pesticide movement in surface runoff are not as straightforward. Effects of soil disturbance on surface runoff loss of chlorimuron and alachlor were evaluated utilizing runoff trays. Soil in the trays was either disturbed (tilled) and kept bare or was not tilled, and existing decomp...

Abstract The NASA LIS/WRF‐Hydro system is a coupled modeling framework that combines the and data assimilation (DA) capabilities of Land Information System (LIS) with multi‐scale surface hydrological WRF‐Hydro model, both which are widely used in operations research. This builds on linkage between land models (LSMs), simulate boundary conditions atmospheric models, distributed hydrologic horizo...

Precipitation is very important to the formation of runoff, and studying of runoff variation and its response to precipitation has practical significance to sustainable utilization of water resources. The study used Mann-Kendall test, anomaly accumulation method, and precipitation elasticity of runoff method to analyze the changes in the relation of precipitation and runoff and the contribution...

The interaction between groundwater (GW) and surface water (SW) not only sustains runoff in dry seasons but also plays an important role river floods. Lateral inflow is the recharge of to during a flood; this part GW-SW exchange. Hydrological engineers proposed idea modelling flood routing using Muskingum-Cunge method, which exchange fully considered. This study proposes improved nonlinear mode...

one of the important issues in transportation and logistics systems is vehicle routing problem (vrp). the vehicle routing problem is concerned with finding efficient routes of minimum total cost, beginning and ending at a central depot, for a fleet of vehicles to serve a number of customers. on the other hand, as a result of the increasing environmental concerns, economic problems and pressure ...
