Abstract. Mountain snow and ice greatly influence the hydrological cycle of alpine regions by regulating both quantity seasonal variations in water availability downstream. This study considers combined impacts climate glacier changes due to recession on hydrology balance two high-elevation basins Canadian Rockies. A distributed, physically based, uncalibrated model developed Cold Regions Hydro...

Changing of precipitation regime and intensification extreme storms in semi-arid regions because climate change requires the use numerical models to forecast outlet hydrographs. In this paper, HEC-HMS software was applied using a loss method curve number CN estimate excess parametric unit hydrograph model compute transformation into direct runoff over watershed. The Muskingum-Cunge routing used...

Background: Measuring peak expiratory flow rate has been suggested as an important tool in asthma management by all international guidelines.  Objective: Studies on various populations have shown considerable variations in normal values of peak expiratory flow rate. Since reference standards for Iranian children are not available, the present study was performed to establish these standards. Me...

<p>This study emphasis on draining and slowing runoff volumes in arid semi-arid lands regions using HEC-HMS model linked with various Best Management Practices (BMPs) alternatives. The proposed methods may help significantly reducing flash flood precipitation improving instream water quality. It provides facilities to increase retention times infiltration rates. Recently, flooding is occu...

In the present study, the amount of nitrate and phosphate leaching from agricultural lands into the Zanjanrood River in Iran was simulated using the Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The measured average monthly discharges at the Sarcham station were used to calibrate and validate the SWAT model, and the SWAT Calibration and Uncertainty Program (SWAT-CUP) model was applied to perform t...

Flows into and out of two bioretention facilities constructed on the University of Maryland campus were monitored for nearly 2 years, covering 49 runoff events. The two parallel cells capture and treat stormwater runoff from a 0.24 ha section of an asphalt surface parking lot. The primary objective of this work was to quantify the reduction of hydrologic volume and flow peaks and delay in peak ...

A field-scale plot study was conducted at Virginia Tech’s Prices Fork Research Farm, to evaluate the transport of nutrients in runoff from manure and fertilizer applied at P-based agronomic rates to cropland planted to corn. Simulated rainfall events representing 2to 10-year storms in southwest Virginia, occurring 1 and 2 days following manure and fertilizer application were used to generate ru...
