This book was released on 2013 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relative accuracy of rainfall runoff models is an important issue. Some models may perform better than others in specific scenarios (e.g. wet vs. dry climates; forested vs. agricultural land use; long vs. short time steps for simulation). Two widely used models were selected for comparison to simulate runoff for watersheds in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The two models, the Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) and Hydrological Simulation Program Fortran (HSPF), are both semi-distributed, deterministic hydrological tools that simulate the impacts of precipitation, land use and climate on basin hydrology and streamflow. PRMS is primarily used by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to simulate basin hydrology across the United States. HSPF is used by a larger base of public and government modelers to simulate basin hydrology, sediment processes, and water quality worldwide. One of the primary applications of this research is to help potential users select the more appropriate hydrologic model, HSPF or PRMS, when working with a specific size of watershed. Results indicate that HSPF better estimated annual, monthly, and daily water budget than the PRMS for a small watershed. HSPF better estimated annual water budget than the PRMS for a large watershed. PRMS better estimated monthly and daily water budget than HSPF for a large watershed when wet and dry periods were calibrated individually. The results indicate that the temporal and spatial scale variability influences the accuracy of HSPF and PRMS model simulations. The study indicates that an appropriate selection of a model for specific size of a watershed should be based on a specific hydrologic question that a user is seeking to answer.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Morphometry of Three Small Watersheds, Black Hills, South Dakota, and Some Hydrologic Implications Such relationships have not been studied intensively on small forested watersheds. The present study was undertaken in an initial attempt to identify significant morphometric parameters or classes of parameters and their flow implications. This kind of information is sought not only as a means of improving our understanding of basin morphology, water yield, and possible forest treatment response, but also to establish a geomorphic benchmark upon which to build further study and better understanding of the hydrologic functioning of small forested watersheds in other geologic types in the Black Hills.

Download or read book Forest Hydrology written by Devendra Amatya and published by CABI. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests cover approximately 26% of the world's land surface area and represent a distinct biotic community. They interact with water and soil in a variety of ways, providing canopy surfaces which trap precipitation and allow evaporation back into the atmosphere, thus regulating how much water reaches the forest floor as through fall, as well as pull water from the soil for transpiration. The discipline "forest hydrology" has been developed throughout the 20th century. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have intensified. The book will be useful for graduate students, professionals, land managers, practitioners, and researchers with a good understanding of the basic principles of hydrology and hydrologic processes.
