Pages : 188
Book Description
The efficient design of many water management projects requires the ability to predict the time distribution of runoff from a melting snowfield. A continuous model of the snow accumation and melting processes is presented for this purpose. The empirical and theoretical equations that have been used to represent these processes are integrated into a model developed to have a wide range of applicability owing to its flexible data requirements. The snowmelt model is tested using various combinations of recorded data thought likely to be available in practical design problems. A comparison of the generated values of certain important snowpack variables with those actually observed shows good agreement. Application of the model to an experimental catchment is made to estimate streamflows resulting from the computed snowmelt. Although the results were favorable, suggestions are made as to how they may be improved.

Principles of Snow Hydrology
Author: David R. DeWalle
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139471600
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
Principles of Snow Hydrology describes the factors that control the accumulation, melting and runoff of water from seasonal snowpacks over the surface of the earth. The book addresses not only the basic principles governing snow in the hydrologic cycle, but also the latest applications of remote sensing, and techniques for modeling streamflow from snowmelt across large mixed land-use river basins. Individual chapters are devoted to climatology and distribution of snow, snowpack energy exchange, snow chemistry, ground-based measurements and remote sensing of snowpack characteristics, snowpack management, and modeling snowmelt runoff. Many chapters have review questions and problems with solutions available online. This book is a reference book for practicing water resources managers and a text for advanced hydrology and water resources courses which span fields such as engineering, earth sciences, meteorology, biogeochemistry, forestry and range management, and water resources planning.

Floods and Landslides: Integrated Risk Assessment
Author: Riccardo Casale
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540649816
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
This book reviews the state of the art of natural disasters like floods and landslides, highlighting the possibility of safe and correct land planning and management by means of a global approach to territory. In fact, the events deriving from slope dynamics (gravitational phenomena) and fluvial dynamics (floods) are commonly triggered by the same factor (heavy rainfall), occur at the same time and are closely related. For this reason, this book analyses floods and slope stability phenomena as different aspects of the same dynamic system: the drainage basin.

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : City planning
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
The report is basically a source book for individuals who are actually concerned with the problem of constructing alternative plans for developing urban areas. It reviews the methods and computer models that are currently available to the planner or engineer for developing water and related land resources. These reviews discuss the availability and usefulness of several models; give a brief technical description of each model, including the input data required; and indicate the amount and type of computer hardware needed to use each model. The report is directed mainly toward water related problems. Thus, most of the methods discussed deal with urban drainage, wastewater management, flood routing, reservoir operation, water supply, flood zoning, and the social and economic aspects associated with these areas. (Modified author abstract).
