A Web Based Water Resources Analysis Portal For Occoquan Watershed, Saurav Kumar, Adil Godrej, Thomas Grizzard, Harold Post, Justin Bartlett
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
In most of the developed world, water resources data, including both water quality and quantity, has been collected for decades. Such datasets are often used to calibrate water resources models that in turn are capable of producing large amounts of data useful for activities such as forecasting and risk analysis. Like many other domains (e.g., finance, marketing, etc.), significant education, extension, and policy making benefits may be had by building data analytics tools to derive knowledge from these datasets. The knowledge thus available may be turned into intelligence by policy makers and may also be used to enhance environmental education …

2d Mathematical Modeling For Fluvial Processes Considering The Influence Of Vegetation And Bank Erosion, Yi Xiao, S.Y. Yang, J. Hu, W.J. Li, S.C. Tong, X. H. Fu
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
A 2D mathematical model for fluvial processes capable of considering the influence of vegetation and non-cohesive bank erosion is established based on a body-fitted coordinate system in this paper. The authors have improved a previously developed simulation model by taking into account the impact of vegetation with a vegetation stress term in the momentum conservation equation. A simple simulation method is adopted in the bank erosion model. Simulation runs were performed for a conceptual alluvial channel, the results of channel plan-form and cross section changes suggest that the 2D model predictions agree acceptable with the classic theories of channel pattern …

International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Digital elevation model (DEM) plays a substantial role in hydrological study, from understanding the catchment characteristics, setting up a hydrological model to mapping the flood risk in the region. Depending on the nature of study and its objectives, high resolution and reliable DEM is often desired to set up a sound hydrological model. However, such source of good DEM is not always available and it is generally high-priced. Obtained through radar based remote sensing, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) is a publicly available DEM with resolution of 92m outside US. It is a great source of DEM where no surveyed …

A Particle Dispersion Model For Analysis Of Two-Dimensional Mixing In Open Channels, Il Won Seo, In Hwan Park
A Particle Dispersion Model For Analysis Of Two-Dimensional Mixing In Open Channels, Il Won Seo, In Hwan Park
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Pollutant mixing in natural rivers is analyzed by using the two-dimensional depth-averaged advection-dispersion model (2D ADE) for rapid completion of the vertical mixing. The dispersion term in the 2D ADE follows Taylor’s assumption (Taylor, 1954; Fischer et al., 1979) which can be applied in the Taylor period. However, most open channel flow has long initial period which makes the skewed concentration distribution due to the unbalance between the shear flow advection and the vertical mixing (Chatwin, 1970). Therefore, the non-Fickian dispersion model is necessary to compensate the limitations of the 2D ADE model. In this research, the two-dimensional particle dispersion …
Separation Of Soil Evaporation And Vegetation Transpiration By Modis Data For Central And Northern China, Tingting Li, Jinhui Jeanne Huang
Separation Of Soil Evaporation And Vegetation Transpiration By Modis Data For Central And Northern China, Tingting Li, Jinhui Jeanne Huang
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Evapotranspiration(ET) plays a crucial role in the hydrologic system. To estimate evapotranspiration quantitatively in a large scale, remote sensing data has been used in a number of models and shows its applicability in the estimation of evapotranspiration. In this paper, evapotranspiration for central and northern China was derived from MODIS data. In arid and semi-arid regions, soil evaporation can be considered as the minimum water requirement for bare area, while evapotranspiration can be considered as the minimum water demand for the area covered by vegetation. Hence the separation of soil evaporation and vegetation transpiration is valuable for efficient water resources …

Reconstruction Of Paleo-Hydrologic Data For Vulnerability Assessment Of Water Resources Systems, Saman Razavi, Amin Elshorbagy, Howard Wheater, David Sauchyn
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Tree-ring chronologies are a rich source of information of past climate-driven non-stationarities in hydrologic variables. They are typically directly related to available water in respective years, thereby providing a basis for paleo-hydrology reconstruction. This study investigates the time series of tree-ring chronologies, with the objective of identifying the spatiotemporal patterns and extents of non-stationarities, which are essentially representations of past “climate changes”. This study also generates ensembles of moving-average streamflow time series for the centuries prior to the period of observational record. The major headwater tributaries of the Saskatchewan River basin (SaskRB), the main source of surface water in the …

Harmonization Of Vocabularies For Water Data, Simon J.D. Cox, Jonathan Yu, Bruce A. Simons
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Observational data encodes values of properties associated with a feature of interest, estimated by a specified procedure. For water the properties are physical parameters like level, volume, flow and pressure, and concentrations and counts of chemicals, substances and organisms. Water property vocabularies have been assembled at project, agency and jurisdictional level. Organizations such as EPA, USGS, CEH, GA and BoM maintain vocabularies for internal use, and may make them available externally as text files. BODC and MMI have harvested many water vocabularies alongside others of interest in their domain, formalized the content using SKOS, and published them through web interfaces. …

International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Investigations of natural resources processes realted to the water cycle are best studied using a commensurate landscape unit for the spatial extent of the process. Consequently, the capability to efficiently delineate the watershed extent along with the main hydrological characteristics and behavior of the river network and its drainage area is essential. The watershed search engine discussed in the present paper is designed to identify various observations acquired in the upstream drainage area of the watershed from a point specified by the user. The point can be selected on or outside the stream network using a web mapping interface. The …
River Water Quality Modelling In Developing A Catchment Water Safety Plan, Jose Vieira, Jose Pinho
River Water Quality Modelling In Developing A Catchment Water Safety Plan, Jose Vieira, Jose Pinho
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
The primary aim of a catchment water safety plan is to reduce risks within the catchment to protect the quality of drinking water sources at the point of abstraction. Even where effective arrangements for catchment management and control have been implemented, unexpected deterioration in raw water quality can pose a risk to treated drinking water quality. Thus potential sources of pollution impacting the abstraction point should be identified and monitored. An important part of any catchment management strategy includes implementation of raw water monitoring programmes, targeted at the most likely microbiological challenges to water treatment. When combined with good monitoring …

A Spatial-Temporal Downscaling Approach To Construction Of Rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency Relations In The Context Of Climate Change, Van-Thanh-Van Nguyen, Myeong-Ho Yeo
A Spatial-Temporal Downscaling Approach To Construction Of Rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency Relations In The Context Of Climate Change, Van-Thanh-Van Nguyen, Myeong-Ho Yeo
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
This paper proposes a spatial-temporal downscaling approach to construction of the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) relations at a local site in the context of climate change and variability. More specifically, the proposed approach is based on a combination of a spatial downscaling method to link large-scale climate variables given by General Circulation Model (GCM) simulations with daily extreme precipitations at a site and a temporal downscaling procedure to describe the relationships between daily and sub-daily extreme precipitations based on the scaling General Extreme Value (GEV) distribution. The feasibility and accuracy of the suggested method were assessed using rainfall data available at eight …

Short-Term Reservoir Optimization By Stochastic Optimization To Mitigate Downstream Flood Risks, Dirk Schwanenberg, Fernando Mainardo Fan, Steffi Naumann, Julio Kuwajima, Rodolfo Alvarado Montero, Alberto Assis Dos Reis
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
An important objective of the operation of multi-purpose reservoirs is the mitigation of flood risks in downstream river reaches. Under the assumptions of reservoirs with finite storage volumes, a key factor for its effective use during flood events is the proper timing of detention measures under consideration of forecast uncertainty. Operational flow forecasting systems support this task by providing deterministic or probabilistic inflow forecasts and decision support components to assess optimum release strategies. We focus on the decision support component and propose a deterministic optimization and its extension to an adaptive multi-stage stochastic optimization. These techniques are used to compute …

During typhoon periods, accurate hourly rainfall forecasts are extremely important. A new typhoon rainfall forecasting model that integrates multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) with support vector machines (SVM) is presented in this paper. Apart from the rainfall data, the meteorological variables are also considered. An application to high- and low-altitude meteorological stations has shown that the proposed model yields the best performance as compared to other models. Results indicate that meteorological variables are helpful. The proposed model significantly improves hourly typhoon rainfall forecasting, especially for the long lead time forecasting. Moreover, the optimal combination of inputs is determined by the proposed …
Automatic Frequency-Based Flood Forecast From Numerical Weather Prediction Using A Service-Oriented Architecture, Ang Zhang, Tiejian Li, Haiyun Shi, Wang Fu, Jiaye Li
Automatic Frequency-Based Flood Forecast From Numerical Weather Prediction Using A Service-Oriented Architecture, Ang Zhang, Tiejian Li, Haiyun Shi, Wang Fu, Jiaye Li
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Destructive floods occurred more frequently in mountainous regions in China in recent years. However, the meteorological and hydrological station network in such regions is usually poor, and no long-series observations are available. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the hydrological parameters for flood discharge and stage forecast. This paper aims to propose an automatic frequency-based flood forecast framework from numerical weather prediction (NWP) using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The proposed framework has 4 main steps. First, historical flood discharge is simulated by using a distributed hydrological model and satellite-derived rainfall dataset (e.g., the CMORPH and the TRMM), and the …

The Contribution Of Fine Scale Atmospheric Numerical Models In Improving The Quality Of Hydraulic Modelling Outputs, Rabia Merrouchi, Dalila Loudyi, Mohamed Chagdali
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
The atmospheric numerical models have known great advances with the ongoing development of numerical weather prediction and computing resources. The spatial and temporal resolution of the global atmospheric models has improved and therefore, the accuracy and reliability of their results have substantially increased. Emphasis was made on the improvement of models dynamics and physical aspects, but also on data assimilation and input data diversification using new numerical schemes and new physical parameterizations that better assess the small-scale weather phenomena. However, these models were not able to overcome their physical limitations and therefore, some small-scale processes are far from being thoroughly …
