Efficient numerical simulation of process interactions between infiltration and Hortonian runoff is needed to evaluate patterns of internal state variables and fluxes within a watershed. A fully distributed rainfallerunoff model was developed for event-based studies of spaceetime watershed processes. A routing hierarchy was defined over the watershed using the D-infinity contributing area algor...

introduction flood is an inevitable natural phenomenon occurring from time to time in all rivers and natural drainage systems, which not only damages the lives, natural resources and environment, but also causes the loss of economy and health. so estimation and prediction flood hazard is very important spatially in the watersheds without measurement station. there are many models in the water a...

[1] The ever increasing pace of computational power, along with continued advances in measurement technologies and improvements in process understanding has stimulated the development of increasingly complex hydrologic models that simulate soil moisture flow, groundwater recharge, surface runoff, root water uptake, and river discharge at different spatial and temporal scales. Reconciling these ...

Runoff constitutes one of the major water losses from agricultural fields in semi-arid areas. However, by adopting appropriate soil management practices, the runoff can be harnessed for improving crop yields. The main objective of this study was to quantify rainfall-runoff relationships under in-field rainwater harvesting (IRWH) using simulated rainfall, and to compare these results to those ob...

Various models have been developed to predict rainfall-runoff. However, practical often simplify the actual phenomena and do not always provide sufficient accuracy for field-observed parameter values, such as soil water retention permeability. Other based on Richards’ equation can directly account these factors but are because of their huge computational cost. In this study, we a vertical quasi...

Soil Conservation Service (SCS) and overland flow models have been used for runoff modeling over major land mass of India. Remote sensing derived daily rainfall data (Climate Prediction Centre), high temporal NDVI data (SPOT VGT), DEM (GTOPO30) and soil texture maps were used as input for the runoff modeling. SCS model setup was done in GIS (Arc GIS) environment. In general the reported and mod...

Dissolved inorganic P transport in runoff from agricultural soils is an environmental concern. Models are used to predict P transport but rarely simulate P in runoff from surface-applied manures. Using field-plot data, we tested a previously proposed model to predict manure P in runoff. We updated the model to include more data relating water to manure ratio to manure P released during water ex...

This study compared the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff from replicated asphalt, permeable paver, and crushed-stone driveways. Rainfall was measured on-site and runoff was recorded using tipping buckets. Flow-weighted composite runoff samples were analyzed weekly for total suspended solids, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrate-nitrogen, ammonia-nitrogen, total phosphorus (TP), zinc, lead,...

Atrazine and metolachlor are commonly detected in surface water bodies in southern Louisiana. These herbicides are frequently applied in combination to corn, and atrazine to sugarcane, in this region. A study was conducted on the runoff of atrazine and metolachlor from 0.21 ha plots planted to corn on Commerce silt loam, a Mississippi River alluvial soil. The study, carried out over a three-yea...
