Hydraulic Flood Routing Models of the Peace and Slave Rivers, Hudson Hope to Great Slave Lake
Author: Faye Ellen HicksPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Describes a hydraulic flood routing model developed to accurately model the open water river discharge on the Peace and Slave rivers. The model is capable of modelling the discharge at sites where no discharge data exist. The document includes description of the development of the database for the model, including the geometric database (channel distances, surface slopes, bed profiles, channel widths and resistances) and the hydrologic data. The appendix includes a user manual for the user-friendly microcomputer program that has been set up to run historical flows (1961-93) and to simulate naturalised flows on the Peace River (1969-91).
A Hydraulic Flood Routing Model of the Peace River, Hudson Hope to Peace Point
Author: Faye Ellen HicksPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
Describes a hydraulic flood routing model developed to accurately model the open water river discharge of moderate floods. The model is capable of modelling the open water discharge at intermediate sites along the Peace River where no discharge data exist. The final geometric model consists of over 1,100 computational nodes describing channel width, effective bed elevation, and channel roughness. The hydraulic flood routing model used was the cdg-1D finite element model developed at the University of Alberta. The model provides for a solution of the fully dynamic, one-dimensional open channel flow equations. In its first stage, the model covers the Peace River from Hudson's Hope to Peace Point; subsequent work will focus on extending the model to the Slave River delta and collecting additional cross- section data on the Peace River.

Category : Athabasca River Watershed (Alta.)
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Report to the federal ministers of Environment and Indian & Northern Affairs, Alberta's Minister of Environmental Protection, and NWT's Minister of Renewable Resources. Summarises the main scientific findings of the Northern River Basins Study, which was established to examine the relationship between industrial, municipal, agricultural, and other development and the Peace, Athabasca, and Slave River basins. Reviews the characteristics of the northern river basins and their peoples, the organisation of the Study, and major findings in the areas of environmental overview, use of aquatic resources, traditional knowledge, flow regulation, fish distribution and habitat, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, contaminants, drinking water, ecosystem health, modelling, human health, and cumulative effects. Recommendations by the Study Board, First Nations, and scientific advisors regarding such issues as basin management, monitoring, research, public participation, and a successor organisation are then presented. Also includes a summary of opinions, suggestions, and recommendations expressed at 17 community workshops held throughout the northern river basins area.

Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Presents a synthesis of reports on the environmental and socio-economic characteristics of the Peace, Athabasca, and Slave river basins in northern Alberta. Includes information on basin hydrology, basin inhabitants, physiographic features (geology, soils, vegetation), climate and weather, fish and wildlife, land use (for urban development, agriculture, forestry, resource extraction, tourism, recreation, transportation, fishing, and hunting/trapping), water quality and quantity, and the jurisdictional framework for resource management in the basin area. The final chapter contains an outline of the history of the area and discussion of issues related to sustainable development in the basin area.

Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
Water resource studies require hydraulic routing models for simulating water levels of the non-regulated Great Lakes. This report compares the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's hydraulic routing model and the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory's Hydrologic Response Model (HRM). Although the model solution techniques produce equivalent results, the HRM reduces cpu requirements by 94%. The HRM also uses discharge equations that better reflect present channel conditions and a more appropriate conversion of lake storage changes to lake level fluctuations.
The New HEC-1 Flood Hydrograph Package

ISBN:
Category : Flood control
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
This paper describes the new version of the HEC-1 Flood Hydrograph Package - a comprehensive simulation model computer program. The many hydrologic and hydraulic simulation capabilities of the model are described. Special emphasis is given to analysis of dam safety and dam failure flood damage studies, and urban hydrology. The general applicability and usage of the model are described. (Author).
