Book Stochastic Hydrology and its Use in Water Resources Systems Simulation and Optimization

Download or read book Stochastic Hydrology and its Use in Water Resources Systems Simulation and Optimization written by J.B. Marco and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stochastic hydrology is an essential base of water resources systems analysis, due to the inherent randomness of the input, and consequently of the results. These results have to be incorporated in a decision-making process regarding the planning and management of water systems. It is through this application that stochastic hydrology finds its true meaning, otherwise it becomes merely an academic exercise. A set of well known specialists from both stochastic hydrology and water resources systems present a synthesis of the actual knowledge currently used in real-world planning and management. The book is intended for both practitioners and researchers who are willing to apply advanced approaches for incorporating hydrological randomness and uncertainty into the simulation and optimization of water resources systems. (abstract) Stochastic hydrology is a basic tool for water resources systems analysis, due to inherent randomness of the hydrologic cycle. This book contains actual techniques in use for water resources planning and management, incorporating randomness into the decision making process. Optimization and simulation, the classical systems-analysis technologies, are revisited under up-to-date statistical hydrology findings backed by real world applications.

Book excerpt: Watershed modeling is at the heart of modern hydrology, supplying rich information that is vital to addressing resource planning, environmental, and social problems. Even in light of this important role, many books relegate the subject to a single chapter while books devoted to modeling focus only on a specific area of application. Recognizing the

Book Economic and Hydrologic Models Integration   New Method

Download or read book Economic and Hydrologic Models Integration New Method written by Laura Forni and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new method for integrating an economic and hydrological model is presented for California's Sacramento River Basin. An economic model, SWAP (State Wide Agricultural Production) is used in conjunction with a hydrological model, Water Evaluation and Planning system Version 21 (WEAP). SWAP (Howitt, 2001) is a Positive Mathematical Programming (PMP) calibrated optimization model that uses a deductive method of water valuation at the regional level. WEAP (Yates et al. 2005a, b) is a climate driven water resource model which contains monthly regional climate data and simulates hydrological systems and several water uses. A maximum entropy model is used as a disaggregation procedure of land use from SWAP (aggregate) to WEAP (disaggregated) at the regional level. The model linkage method uses the demand priority system implemented in WEAP as a step function to depict regional demand functions from SWAP. Cropping decisions from SWAP are used in a modified version of WEAP, ECONWEAP, with a representation of water demand tranches through the demand priorities. A comparison between WEAP and ECONWEAP addresses the efficiency of the integration. A complete analysis of water demand coverage per region demonstrates the feasibility of the integration between WEAP and SWAP. This analysis shows that ECONWEAP economically allocates water throughout the regions obtaining a hydrological and economically consistent model which presents a set of initial steps towards the integration of an economic and a hydrological model for water analysis in California. A series of improvements and limitations are described in this paper for future study references.

Book Stochastic and Statistical Methods in Hydrology and Environmental Engineering

Download or read book Stochastic and Statistical Methods in Hydrology and Environmental Engineering written by Keith W. Hipel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objectives The current global environmental crisis has reinforced the need for developing flexible mathematical models to obtain a better understanding of environmental problems so that effective remedial action can be taken. Because natural phenomena occurring in hydrology and environmental engineering usually behave in random and probabilistic fashions, stochastic and statistical models have major roles to play in the protection and restoration of our natural environment. Consequently, the main objective of this edited volume is to present some of the most up-to-date and promising approaches to stochastic and statistical modelling, especially with respect to groundwater and surface water applications. Contents As shown in the Table of Contents, the book is subdivided into the following main parts: GENERAL ISSUES PART I PART II GROUNDWATER PART III SURFACE WATER PART IV STOCHASTIC OPTIMIZATION PART V MOMENT ANALYSIS PART VI OTHER TOPICS Part I raises some thought-provoking issues about probabilistic modelling of hydro logical and environmental systems. The first two papers in Part I are, in fact, keynote papers delivered at an international environmetrics conference held at the University of Waterloo in June, 1993, in honour of Professor T. E. Unny. In his keynote pa per, Dr. S. J. Burges of the University of Washington places into perspective the historical and future roles of stochastic modelling in hydrology and environmental engineering. Additionally, Dr. Burges stresses the need for developing a sound scien tific basis for the field of hydrology. Professor P. E.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International experts from around the globe present a rich variety of intriguing developments in time series analysis in hydrology and environmental engineering. Climatic change is of great concern to everyone and significant contributions to this challenging research topic are put forward by internationally renowned authors. A range of interesting applications in hydrological forecasting are given for case studies in reservoir operation in North America, Asia and South America. Additionally, progress in entropy research is described and entropy concepts are applied to various water resource systems problems. Neural networks are employed for forecasting runoff and water demand. Moreover, graphical, nonparametric and parametric trend analyses methods are compared and applied to water quality time series. Other topics covered in this landmark volume include spatial analyses, spectral analyses and different methods for stream-flow modelling. Audience The book constitutes an invaluable resource for researchers, teachers, students and practitioners who wish to be at the forefront of time series analysis in the environmental sciences.

Book excerpt: This book communicates some contemporary mathematical and statistical developments in river basin hydrology as they pertain to space-time rainfall, spatial landform and network structures and their role in understanding averages and fluctuations in the hydrologic water balance of river basins. While many of the mathematical and statistical nations have quite classical mathematical roots, the river basin data structure has led to many variations on the problems and theory.
