This study focused on the Upper Manyame sub-catchment which covers an area of approximately 3 786 km2 and forms part catchment, one seven catchments Zimbabwe. catchment has its source in Marondera town drains into Zambezi River downstream Kariba Dam upstream Cahora Bassa Dam, northern country. assessed potential climate change impacts streamflow reservoir inflows sub-catchment. Hydrologic simul...

In this paper the operation of multiple reservoirs by the utilization of analysis method of the system dynamics is considering and this analysis method is based on the feedback and object oriented events. The goal of this research is presentation of a new method by utilization of system dynamicity technique for simulation of the reservoir. This software is a product of Ventana Company and the e...

The goal of this study is to develop an objective methodology for estimating design floods, i.e. the flood peak discharge with return period T , at ungauged river catchments in Iceland. First, a regional flood frequency analysis is presented for estimating the T -year flood peak discharge with fixed duration D, Q(T,D), for poorly gauged and ungauged catchments. This is done by scaling a regiona...

Because of different behavior of reservoir water and dam material, the determination of hydrodynamic pressure during earthquake is very complicated. Thus, different formulations have been presented for modeling of the dam reservoir system under dynamic loading such as earthquake. These formulations can be categorized into two general groups, which are Lagrangian and Eulerian, each having advant...

abstract regarding temporal variation of rivers discharge and demands, for suitable use of dam reservoirs stored water, application of operation rule curves is necessary. operation rules are expressed with rule curves. application of yield model is one of the methods of operation curve preparation, which correlates reservoir operation with reservoir storage volume in first period. in this study...

This paper proposes and validates a new formulation on the dynamic response of dam-reservoir system, including water compressibility, absorption of the boundary of the reservoir, the earthquake excitation from different directions and the radiation condition boundary at infinity. The impounded water is modeled by Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method, and discretization only at the boundary coi...

A global overview of dam-based impacts on large river systems shows that over half (172 out of 292) are affected by dams, including the eight most biogeographically diverse. Dam-impacted catchments experience higher irrigation pressure and about 25 times more economic activity per unit of water than do unaffected catchments. In view of projected changes in climate and water resource use, these ...
