Book excerpt: During ten years serving with the USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS), now known as the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), I became amazed at how millions of dollars in contract monies were spent based on simplistic hydrologic models. As project engineer in western Kansas, I was responsible for building flood control dams (authorized under Public Law 566) in the Wet Walnut River watershed. This watershed is within the Arkansas-Red River basin, as is the Illinois River basin referred to extensively in this book. After building nearly 18 of these structures, I became Assistant State Engineer in Michigan and, for a short time, State Engineer for NRCS. Again, we based our entire design and construction program on simplified relationships variously referred to as the SCS method. I recall announcing that I was going to pursue a doctoral degree and develop a new hydrologic model. One of my agency's chief engineers remarked, "Oh no, not another model!" Since then, I hope that I have not built just another model but have significantly advanced the state of hydrologic modeling for both researchers and practitioners. Using distributed hydrologic techniques described in this book, I also hope one day to forecast the response of the dams I built.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urbanization and land use change is inevitable in many watersheds. The way urbanization has been occurring till now it has been observed that the hydrologic characteristics of watershed are adversely affected in terms of ground water recharge, water pollution and storm water drainage. Urbanization leads to creation of impervious surfaces, which causes an increase in the storm water runoff volume. Runoff has traditionally been viewed as a nuisance, and a major contributor to the environmental degradation to waterways. Careful physical planning is required to minimize the disturbance caused by runoff on urbanizing watersheds. For this, planners need a vision to foresee the hydrologic impacts of land use change. A need was felt to develop a hydrologic model in a GIS platform for modeling hydrologic processes and computer simulation of catchment behavior of watershed, which would aid in relating storm water runoff to the land use change. In this research project, the TR-55 Model, one of the simpler hydrologic model that does not require extensive data inputs has been used. It employs simple, straightforward yet sophisticated techniques for runoff estimation using Curve Number method of the Soil Conservation Service and is well suited for planners, water resource professionals and decision-makers. The results from modeling suggested that urban sprawl is a major contributor to storm water runoff in the region. There are some local as well as state organizations in Cincinnati working on storm water management program but after studying their primary goals, it was observed that neither of them concentrates on curbing the adverse effects of runoff discharges into water bodies. To plan effectively to protect the watershed and other natural features, it is essential to assess the impact of different land use types in the watershed region on the runoff volume. This thesis acts a guide for planners to use hydrologic modeling in estimating runoff in urbanized and urbanizing watersheds to protect the streams, and water bodies from pollution due to storm water runoff discharges.

Download or read book Integrating GIS and Hydrologic Modeling for Land Use Based Flood Simulation written by Jing Jin and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The threat of flooding is a serious concern to local governments. During a flood event, it is critical to have accurate estimates of where the flood is. Hydrologic models can serve as valuable tools in urban planning, especially in environmental planning. The Geographic Information System (GIS) technology has been used for storing, analyzing, and visualizing spatial information. By linking GIS, computerized hydrologic model, and expert knowledge into a spatial decision support tool, this project is to assess flood hazard for different land-use scenarios for a range of rainfall events in the Mill Creek Watershed. This study investigated the effect of urbanization and agricultural development on runoff. By comparing land use in 1980 and 1992, runoff was calculated and flood areas were delineated using the runoff curve number method. The comparison study showed that both urbanization and agricultural development result in an increase in surface storm water runoff and greater flood area.
