The reauthorization of the Clean Water Act reemphasizes the need for regional scale monitoring and management of nonpoint pollution loads. The magnitude of the task will require that local governments and their consultants integrate information syste

A canopy reflectance model is incorporated into a routine for simulating water and energy flows in the soil-plant-atmosphere system. The reflectance model is structured tocalculate canopy albedo throughout each simulation period and to determine spec

A number of mathematical models used to estimate storm hydrographs in urban areas consider runoff as a deterministic process and link a series of submodels to simulate the behavior of the various components of the runoff cycle. Because of the number

Numerical solutions of the Boussinesq equation were used to examine the hydrologic behavior of porous pavement systems incorporating subdrains in open graded base courses placed on impermeable membranes. A series of numerical experiments showed that

In a cooperative demonstration project, NASA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) compared conventional and Landsat-derived land-use data for use in hydrologic models, and the resulting discharge frequency curves were analyzed. When a grid-ba

The land cover requirements of the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) model used to develop volume of runoff for hydrograph synthesis in suburban areas were modified to be compatible with Landsat digital data. Curve numbers obtained with these alternate

Many of the models designed to support the hydrologic studies associated with urban water resources planning require input parameters that are defined in terms of land cover. Estimating the land cover is a difficult and expensive task and any innovat

The study investigates the use of computer-aided analysis of LANDSAT multispectral data in estimating percentage of imperviousness and associated land uses needed in urban hydrologic modeling. An interactive computer was used to delineate seven land

An instrument to record a number of water levels on one chart for field studies was developed around a float-pulley mechanism attached to the shaft of a potentiometer. A timing circuit allows one 6-second recording cycle each minute for each of 10 se

As a result of advances in high speed digital computers, considerable interest has been shown in the use of a numerical solution of the complete equations of free surface flow to synthesize the unsteady channel and overland flow conditions that occur
