The present study critically reviews the synthetic unit hydrograph (SUH) methods available in hydrologic literature. The study reveals that the traditional methods of SUH derivation, e.g., Snyder, SCS, traditional methods like Snyder and TS method that does not yield satisfactory results, and their application to the practical engineering problems is tedious and combursome. On the other hand, p...

Large floods are often attributed to the melting of snow during a rain event. This study tested how climate variability, snowpack presence, and basin physiography were related to storm hydrograph shape in three small (<1 km2) basins with old-growth forest in western Oregon. Relationships between hydrograph characteristics and precipitation were tested for approximately 800 storms over a nearly ...

Hydrologic simulation employing computer models has advanced rapidly and computerized models have become essential tools for understanding human influences on river flows and designing ecologically sustainable water management approaches. The HEC-HMS is a reliable model developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers that could be used for many hydrological simulations. This model is not calibrated...

furrow irrigation is the most common type of surface irrigation. determine the advance and recession time in the field is required the accurate measurement and this can be costly and time consuming. winsrfr model is used for simulation furrow irrigation by zero inertia and kinematic wave engines. using this model, advance time, reaction time, infiltration depth, runoff depth and application eff...

The effectiveness of three simple flood operating rules in reducing the peak flow is compared for four simplified hydrograph shapes. The Minimize Flood Peak rule uses available flood storage capacity to store peak flows from an accurate hydrograph forecast. The less demanding Minimize Flooding Frequency operating rule releases water at or below channel capacity until the flood storage pool is f...

Hydraulic and hydrologic analysis in urban catchments is typically accompanied by a number of uncertainties, such as a lack of required information for modeling purposes or complex loops inside a drainage network. In this article, Gibbs’ stochastic network model is utilized in order to achieve a dendritic network that corresponds to a fully looped network in terms of the peak of the runoff hydr...
