Conventional methods of runoff estimation using SCS model are time consuming and error prone.
"Because so many water bodies in urban areas are becoming polluted with road sand, salt and other elements, environmentalists came up with a method of treating runoff that mimicked what might be found in nature," Mr. Goven said.
The usefulness of these objects has been demonstrated by implementing: (1) the USDA's Soil Conservation Service (SCS) method of rainfall runoff estimation and (2) an algorithm for finding time area diagram at sub-watershed level.
The results showed that the approximate analytical solution developed in this paper closely matches the observed data, thus providing an alternative method of predicting runoff generation and sediment yield, and offering a more convenient method of analyzing the quantitative relationships between variables.
It was in 1908 that James E. Church, a classics professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, developed the existing method of forecasting water runoff from the depth and water content of snow.
Green roofs, another method of controlling rainwater runoff, are just what the name implies: roofs planted with all types of vegetation.
Alternative vote (AV), also called instant runoff, method of election in which voters rank candidates in order of preference.
Sequential Cluster Analysis is a commonly used statistical method to detect abrupt change point of runoff series by pursuing the minimum sum of squared deviations Sn(t) for the series before and after the abrupt change point, viz.
In this study, both Sequential Cluster Analysis and simulation-based abrupt change detection method were employed to diagnose natural period of runoff series.
This chapter provides such basic information by exposing simple methods of rainfall, evaporation, runoff, and infiltration processes in relation to subsurface flow with specification of geological formations as their capacity to store and yield groundwater.
Environmentalists call for less costly methods of reducing stormwater runoff and CSOs.
