The 2003 flood of the Muda River reached 1,340 m3 /s at Ladang Victoria and adversely impacted 45,000 people in Malaysia. A flood control remediation plan proposed a levee height based on a 50-year discharge of 1 ,815 m3 /s obtained from hydrologic models. This design discharge falls outside the 95% confidence intervals of the flood frequency analysis based on field measurements. Instream sand ...

Abstract. We revisit three variants of the well-known Stommel diagrams that have been used to summarize knowledge characteristic scales in time and space some important hydrologic phenomena modified these focusing on spatiotemporal scaling analyses underlying processes. In present paper we focus soil formation, vegetation growth, drainage network organization. use existing relationships for gro...

[1] Rising surface air temperatures in response to anthropogenic forcing are intensifying the global hydrologic cycle. Some of the more dramatic signs of climate change are increasing precipitation, evaporation, and freshwater discharge in continental river basins draining to high-latitude oceans. At regional scales, however, an acceleration of the hydrologic cycle is not always detected. In co...

Scientists and engineers understand and communicate hydrologic concepts with the one-word or two-word form of ‘‘groundwater’’ or ‘‘ground water,’’ with care toward consistency in their usage. Both forms certainly mean the same thing. Scientists and engineers also want to improve the public’s scientific understanding of water resources to ensure their future quality and availability. Language pr...

Documenting the recovery of hydrologic functions following perturbations is important to addressing issues associated with land use change and ecosystem restoration. Floodplains on the Santee Experimental Forest were used historically for rice cultivation in the early 1700s; those areas now support bottomland hardwood forests typical of the region. Recently acquired LIDAR data for the Santee Ex...

introduction: the frequency of floods is one of the characteristics of river flow statistics so thatanalyzing it has an important role to assess the hydrological and economical water resources projects. for determining flood frequency, the estimation of accurate skewness coefficient of annual peak discharges is required. estimation of population skew for different regions will be improved when ...

transpiration, as one of the components of hydrological cycle, has not been paid enough attention yet, while it is necessary for sound utilization of rangelands, mostly located in the arid and semiarid regions. the comparison of the different kinds of rangelands species in terms of transpiration rates provides range managers the required information to achieve optimal forage production for a gi...
