[1] Annual maximum peak discharge time series from 572 stations with a record of at least 75 years in the eastern United States are used to examine flood peak distributions from a regional perspective. The central issues of this study are (1) “mixtures” of flood peak distributions, (2) upper tail properties of flood peaks, (3) scaling properties of flood peaks, (4) spatial heterogeneities of fl...

The current study focuses on the issue of decrease in sediment discharge to Mediterranean Sea by largest river Algeria, Wadi Cheliff (i.e. River). This clarifies effect climatic and anthropogenic factors changes sedimentary dynamics River discharging sea. data used (rainfall, water discharge, discharge) concern Sidi Bel Attar gaging station River, only 18 km from Sea. A power-type statistical r...

In continuation of the efforts made by the Illinois State Water Survey to develop a detailed hydrologic and water quality simulation model of the entire Illinois River Basin, a hydrologic simulation model was developed for the Vermilion River Watershed (one of the major tributaries of the Illinois River) to simulate streamflows using available climatic data. The model was developed using Hydrol...

-The sidewall is one of the regions where service failures occur in a pneumatic tire. Knowledge of the stresses or strains developed in the sidewall under varying service conditions is required if such pneumatic-tire failures are to be avoided. This paper describes an experimental investigation into the effect of inflation pressure, vehicle load and camber angle on the sidewall-surface strains ...

This paper describes long-term hydrologic response within a rapidly developing watershed in the western suburbs of Washington, DC, within the Chesapeake Bay drainage basin. Data consist of up to 24 years of observed rainfall, basin discharge, and land use/land cover (LULC) from four headwater basins of the Occoquan River in northern Virginia. Basin outlets are monitored for storm and nonstorm f...

Data were collected at two small, semiarid basins in Wyoming to determine the relation between rainfall, runoff, and sediment production. The basins were Dugout Creek tributary and Saint Marys Ditch tributary. Sufficient rainfall and runoff data were collected at Dugout Creek tributary to determine the source of sediment and the dominant sediment-production processes. Because runoff from only o...

The Yukon River basin encompasses over 832,000 km2 of boreal Arctic Alaska and northwest Canada, providing a major transportation corridor multiple natural resources to regional communities. river seasonal hydrology is defined by long winter frozen season snowmelt-driven spring flood pulse.

levels, and fl ow variability from orbital sensors have the potential to directly measure the runoff component of the Earth’s hydrologic cycle [Birkett et al.,2002; Brakenridge et al., 1998; Sippel et al.,1994, 1998; Townsend, 2001]. A remote-sensing-based measurement strategy for rivers and streams is emerging: Surface water data can be collected, their accuracy evaluated, and the results diss...
