Combining Satellite And Gauge Precipitation Data With Co-Kriging Method For Jakarta Region, Chi Dung Doan, Jiandong Liu, Shie-Yui Liong, Dong Eon Kim, Richard Sanders, Timothy Fewtrell
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Jakarta is vulnerable to flooding mainly caused by prolonged and heavy rainfall and thus a robust hydrological modeling is called for. A good quality of spatial precipitation data is therefore desired so that a good hydrological model could be achieved. Two types of rainfall sources are available: satellite and gauge station observations. At-site rainfall is considered to be a reliable and accurate source of rainfall. However, the limited number of stations makes the spatial interpolation not very much appealing. On the other hand, the gridded rainfall nowadays has high spatial resolution and improved accuracy, but still, relatively less accurate than …

A New Methodology For Deriving Regional Time Of Concentration Equations Using Gis And Genetic Programming, Soroosh Sharifi, Mahdi Razaz
A New Methodology For Deriving Regional Time Of Concentration Equations Using Gis And Genetic Programming, Soroosh Sharifi, Mahdi Razaz
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Time of concentration (ToC) is the most frequently utilized time-scale parameter in hydrology which must be estimated accurately to ensure correct simulation of many different hydrological processes. Hydrologists have developed many empirical and semi-empirical methods for estimating ToC which are regional, watershed, and site-specific. Modellers are often confused by the number of ToC estimation methods and formulas and often select an equation without evaluating its correctness which leads to inaccurate simulation results. The importance of deriving and using regional ToC equations has been highlighted in many studies. In this paper, a methodology is proposed for deriving ToC equation(s) for watersheds …
Catchment-Scale Water Quality Monitoring, Control And Management Framework Using Collaborative Wireless Sensor Networks, Huma Zia, Nick Harris, Geoff Merrett
Catchment-Scale Water Quality Monitoring, Control And Management Framework Using Collaborative Wireless Sensor Networks, Huma Zia, Nick Harris, Geoff Merrett
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Improving water quality is a global concern, with agricultural practices being the major contributors to reduced water quality. The reuse of nutrient-rich drainage water can be a valuable strategy to maximise water resources and gain economic-environmental benefits. Transmitting event information across a catchment, as the event occurs upstream, allows prediction of the outflow dynamics of the expected discharges downstream. Here, we propose a framework architecture which utilises increasingly common local farm-scale networks and other water-quality monitoring networks across a catchment, adding provision for collaborative information sharing. The key part is that individual networks learn their environment, predicting the impact of …

Reliability Of Simulated Discharges For Different Gauge Locations In A Semi Distributed Rainfall Runoff Model, Johannes Bellinger, Stefan Achleitner, Johannes Schöber, Friedrich Schöberl
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
In terms of flood forecasting in alpine environments, predictions at different gauges as well as sites with exposed infrastructure within the catchment are required. The used semi-distributed hydrological model HQsim combines runoff formation and surface runoff routines with an implemented channel routing for river reaches. This allows the estimation of discharges at selected channel segments. As a case study a large alpine catchment with a size of 890 km² is used. The uncertainty in the discharge prediction is investigated at three discharge gauges located along the main river. The basis of our experimental set-up are 15,000 samples describing the prior …
Distribution Of Hydrological Losses For Varying Rainfall And Antecedent Wetness Conditions, Sithara H P Walpita Gamage, Guna Hewa, Simon Beecham
Distribution Of Hydrological Losses For Varying Rainfall And Antecedent Wetness Conditions, Sithara H P Walpita Gamage, Guna Hewa, Simon Beecham
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Hydrological loss is a vital component in many hydrological models, which are usedin forecasting floods and evaluating water resources for both surface and subsurface flows. Due to the complex and random nature of the rainfall runoff process, hydrological losses are not yet fully understood. Consequently, practitioners often use representative values of the losses for design applications such as rainfall-runoff modelling which has led to inaccurate quantification of water quantities in the resulting applications. The existing hydrological loss models must be revisited and modellers should be encouraged to utilise other available data sets. This study is based on three unregulated catchments …

Modeling Of River Flow For The Reservoir Routing, Nader Jandaghi
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Modeling of flow was made for Central Iran conditions on the example of river Hablerud where water reservoir is planning. Forms of dangerous flood hydrographs are very different because of different precipitation regimes. Practically it is impossible obtain typical design hydrograph for the reservoir routing. The storm precipitations and consequent floods can take place during any within-year interval, when water storage can be different with different probability. Therefore there is necessity to research a big amount of scenarios respecting possible combinations of flood hydrographs and water reservoir storages before floods for estimation of probability of damage. Observed hydrographs (30 years) …

Integration Of Trmm Rainfall In Numerical Model For Pesticide Prediction In Subtropical Climate, Manika Gupta, N.K. Garg, Prashant K. Srivastava, Tanvir Islam
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Rain gauge data in developing countries are usually very limited, which constrains most of the hydrological modelling applications. The satellite based rainfall estimates could be a promising choice and hence can be used as a surrogate to ground-based rainfall. However, the usefulness of these products needs to be evaluated for hydrological application such as for pesticide predictions. The present study compares the contaminant transport simulation with the utilization of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) rainfall compared with rain gauge data from the field site. Through this study, transport trends of the pesticide, Thiram, a dithiocarbamate, at different time and depth …

International Conference on Hydroinformatics
There are several key modelling challenges in addressing the complementary requirements of the Water Framework Directive and the Groundwater Directive. The first is to consider groundwater, surface water, water quality and ecosystems as an integrated system and develop modelling tools capable of representing these interactions. For example, the restoration of wetlands often requires an understanding of the interaction of surface water and groundwater quantity and quality. Secondly while static indicator-based or statistical approaches are widely used for overall management, the actual ecosystem is highly dynamic and both the actual response to different threats and impact of measures will also be …

Meteomap: Generation Of Meteorological Variables For Distributed Physically-Based Hydrological Modeling, Cristina Aguilar, Javier Herrero, Agustín Millares, Miguel A. Losada, María José Polo
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Distributed energy and water balance models require time-series surfaces of the meteorological variables involved in hydrological processes. Most of the hydrological GIS-based models apply simple interpolation techniques to extrapolate the point scale values registered at weather stations at a watershed scale. In mountainous areas, where the monitoring network ineffectively covers the complex terrain heterogeneity, simple geostatistical methods for spatial interpolation are not always representative enough, and algorithms that explicitly or implicitly account for the features creating strong local gradients in the meteorological variables must be applied. Originally developed as a meteorological pre-processing tool for a complete hydrological model (WiMMed), MeteoMap …

Assessment Of Blackbox Optimization Methods For Efficient Calibration Of Computationally Intensive Hydrological Models, Pierre-Luc Huot, Annie Poulin, Stéphane Alarie
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Many studies have shown the effectiveness of blackbox optimization algorithms for the calibration of lumped conceptual hydrological models. Among these algorithms, the « Shuffled Complex Evolution method developed at the University of Arizona » (SCE-UA) is a very popular one. However, when it comes to calibrating distributed and/or physically-based models, computational efficiency becomes an issue. A single simulation with this type of model may take several minutes and the optimization process may require more than thousands of simulations. To alleviate this problem, two recently developed optimization methods, « Dynamically Dimensioned Search » (DDS) and « Nonsmooth Optimization by Mesh Adaptive …

Development Of A Stormwater Low Impact Development Planning Tool For The Province Of Ontario, Canada, James Li, Zhi Zheng
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Stormwater low impact development practices (LID) are lot-level measures which reduce runoff from lots and roads. Although there are many LID planning tools available (ranging from watershed, city, and site levels), it is not easy to find one that is appropriate for development of a LID site plan in Ontario. In particular, the Province of Ontario’s LID performance requirements are based on long-term average annual runoff and pollutant loading reduction. After a review of 16 LID planning tools in North America, it was found that 70% of these tools are site or city level and outputs from these tools include …

Influence Of The Rainfall Movement On The Required Volume Of Storage Reservoirs, Maciej Mrowiec
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Temporal and spatial variability of rainfalls have a significant impact on the operation of urban drainage systems. Stormwater retention reservoirs are particularly sensitive to these variations. This paper presents the results of research on the impact of the direction and speed of rainfall movement over an urban catchment (of total area 560ha) on required volume of the retention reservoir. Calibrated hydrodynamic model has been used to simulate rainstorms movement (software: SWMM5). The whole catchment was divided into sectors of 600´600m, which facilitated the calculation of time shift between sectors for assumed speeds of rainfall movement (vop= 2, 5 and 10 …
Reducing The Risk Of Floods In Urban Areas With Combined Inland-River System, Young-Il Moon, Jong-Suk Kim
Reducing The Risk Of Floods In Urban Areas With Combined Inland-River System, Young-Il Moon, Jong-Suk Kim
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
With the change of the water environment in accordance with climate change, the loss of lives and properties has increased due to urban flood. Although the importance of urban floods has been highlighted quickly, the construction of advancement technology of an urban drainage system combined with inland-river water and its relevant research has not been emphasized in Korea. In addition, without operation in consideration of combined inland-river water, it is difficult to prevent urban flooding effectively. This study, therefore, develops the uncertainty quantification technology of the risk-based water level and the assessment technology of a flood-risk region through a flooding …

Development Of A Repository For Hydrologic Model Uncertainty Data, Elius Etienne, Michael Piasecki
Development Of A Repository For Hydrologic Model Uncertainty Data, Elius Etienne, Michael Piasecki
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Hydrologic processes are complex and when modeling them using a deterministic or stochastic approach one invariably introduces errors because of simplifications and assumptions made. However, not all assumptions and simplifications in the approach chosen produce the amount of errors; in fact the impact of deviations from the truth on a final output set of variables varies greatly. In addition, not every catchment behaves alike adding another layer of complexity to the modeling effort. Hence, every approach exhibits a degree of uncertainty in their results. While this uncertainty can be examined systematically in this technical note we focus on the development …
