In the present study, the impact of watershed management practices on flood hydrograph characteristics was investigated using HEC-HMS model. In order to design, calibrate, and validate the model, data from a representative paired watershed (Kakhk Watershed, Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran) was collected and field surveys were performed to have the dataset further completed. Results of paired sam...

     Prediction of flood peak discharge and runoff volume is one of the major challenges in the management of watersheds. The present study was carried out to estimate event flood peak discharge and runoff volume using artificial neural network (ANN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) in Kasilian watershed, Iran. For this purpose, 15 rainfall characteristics were considered for 6...

The occurrence trend of floods in recent years shows that the most of Iran regions located in attacks of destructive floods and loss of life and property of flood damages is increasing. Watershed management practices (WMPs) are one of the superior and appropriate solutions for flood hazards mitigation. The impact of WMPs can be investigated using different approaches. In this study, the direct ...

     Quantifying the effects of watershed management projects is a first step in the evaluation of their efficiency. Selecting suitable index for evaluation is an important concern in an evaluation process and is determined on the basis of project type, evaluation method, required accuracy, and available data. Watershed management projects have been initiated in Goosh-Bahreh Watershed, Khorasan...

Runoff create problems like erosion, flood and etc. Withe Assessment of the watershed we can identify the areas that have a potential for flood. And control operations taking only in those area. In this regard, identification areas with high potential for runoff for flood controls is great importance. Here, two major objectives have been considered: 1. evaluation Modclark model in simulation of...
