[1] Based on the diffusion equation and Darcy’s law, Criss and Winston (2008b) developed the one-parameter analytical subsurface flow diffusion hydrograph model to represent the theory of rapid displacement of ‘‘old’’ aquifer water and shallow pore water following rainfall events. We developed a two-parameter analytical surface flow diffusion hydrograph model for urban or other basins that gene...

Hydrograph recession constants are required in rainfall-runoff models, base flow augmentation studies, geohydrologic investigations and in regional low-flow studies. The recession portion of a streamflow hydrograph is shown to be either an autoregressive process or an integrated moving average process, depending upon the structure of the assumed model errors. Six different estimators of the bas...

Chemical and isotope based hydrograph separation methods, such as end member mixing analysis (EMMA), have been utilized in recent decades because they offer a better explanation of stream chemistry than can be obtained from flow partitions derived using graphical or mathematical filter hydrograph partitioning techniques (Chapman and Maxwell, 1996; Pinder and Jones, 1969). However, use of such c...

Abstract An approach is presented for directly deriving a variable parameter Muskingum method from the St. Venant equations for routing floods in channels having any shape of prismatic cross-section and flow following either Manning's or Chezy's friction law. The approach also allows the simultaneous computation of the stage hydrograph corresponding to a given inflow or the routed hydrograph. T...

rock has been advantageously employed in hydraulic structures such as rockfill dams, gabion weirs and drain works. one rockfill dam applications can be flood control in wa-tershed management. the objectives of building rockfill detention dams are flow storage for a specific period and lowering of the outflow hydrograph. as this type of dam consists of coarse particles, seepage flow will deviate...

understanding of the runoff generation processes is important in understanding the magnitude and dynamics ofgroundwater discharge. however, these processes continue to be difficult to quantify and conceptualize. in this study,two digital filter based separation modules, the recursive filtering method (rdf) and a generalization of therecursive digital filter (grdf) were1991–2002 in the hableh ro...

In erosion and sedimentation problems, estimating the range of significant stream flows to include when computing sediment transport can prove challenging in ungauged or under-gauged basins. This paper describes an event-based model incorporating a geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrograph and stochastic descriptions of peak flows and frequency of storm events from nearby reference watershed...
