Hydrologic modeling in the watershed scale is a key topic field of hydrology [...]

Integrated Environmental Modeling (IEM) organizes multidisciplinary knowledge that explains and predicts environmental-system response to stressors. A Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) is an approach integrating a range of disparate data (fate/transport, exposure, and human health effects relationships) to characterize potential health impacts/risks from exposure to pathogenic micro...

in iran, most mountainous watersheds do not have enough hydrometery stations and defective stations have sparse data. because of limited availability of hydrologic data, watershed modeling plays a crucial role in development of local resources. in this study, swat was applied to simulate runoff in marun dam (idanak) watershed, a sub-basin of marun catchment. calibration and sensivity analyses w...

soil erosion is a serious environmental problem in vazroud watershed, which is located in the centre of the mazandaran province, iran. unfortunately, vazroud watershed like most iran watersheds don’t have recorded data and erosion and sedimentation gages to research, monitor and model soil erosion at large watershed. in order to assess the soil erosion risk, soil erosion modeling at the watersh...

Watershed hydrologic and fate-andtransport models are widely used to forecast water quantity and quality responses to alternative land use and climate change scenarios. The ability of such tools to forecast changes in ecosystem services with reasonable accuracy depends on calibrating reliable simulations of streamflow, which in turn require accurate climatic forcing data. Precipitation is widel...

soil and water assessment tool model, swat, uses different layers of watershed data which out of soil layer is the important one. soil layer data should be extracted from detailed soil maps. in most developing countries including iran, these detailed maps are not available except for irrigation districts and rarely for dry land farming areas and also for some strategic places of development pur...

this paper describes a simple, physically-based conceptual model utilizing watershed drainage characteristics for rainfall-runoff simulation. this conceptual physiographic model is essentially based on the work of najafi (2003), which has led to a model compris-ing the main tributary subwatersheds and a single main channel subwatershed. the ki-nematic wave (kw) theory is used to describe flow o...
