Peak Flood

Conservative peak flood discharge estimation methods such as the rational method do not take into account the soil infiltration of the precipitation, thus leading to inaccurate estimations of peak discharges during storm events. The accuracy of estimated peak flood discharge is crucial in designing a drainage system that has the capacity to channel runoffs during a storm event, especially cloudbursts and in the analysis of flood prevention and mitigation. The aim of this study was to model the peak flood discharges of each sub-watershed in Selangor using a geographic information system (GIS). The geospatial modelling integrated the watershed terrain model, the developed Soil Conservation Service Curve Cumber (SCS-CN) and precipitation to develop an equation for estimation of peak flood discharge. Hydrological Engineering Center-Hydrological Modeling System (HEC-HMS) was used again to simulate the rainfall-runoff based on the Clark-unit hydrograph to validate the modelled estimation of peak flood discharge. The estimated peak flood discharge showed a coefficient of determination, r2 of 0.9445, when compared with the runoff simulation of the Clark-unit hydrograph. Both the results of the geospatial modelling and the developed equation suggest that the peak flood discharge of a sub-watershed during a storm event has a positive relationship with the watershed area, precipitation and Curve Number (CN), which takes into account the soil bulk density and land-use of the studied area, Selangor in Malaysia. The findings of the study present a comparable and holistic approach to the estimation of peak flood discharge in a watershed which can be in the absence of a hydrodynamic simulation model.

ABSTRAK Kurangnya ketersediaan data hidrograf merupakan kendala bagi perencanaan bangunan air. Kendala ini menjadikan model-model HSS akan memberikan manfaat yang cukup besar. Idealnya setiap DAS mempunyai Hidrograf Satuan dengan ciri tertentu. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengamati karakteristik hidrograf pengamatan di tiap DAS dan semua DAS di Propinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Tujuan utama studi ini adalah membuat rancangan Model Hidrograf Satuan Sintetis antara lain persamaan debit puncak banjir (Qp) dan waktu mencapai puncak banjir (Tp) yang antara lain merupakan fungsi dari luas DAS (A), panjang sungai terpanjang (L), dan faktor bentuk DAS. Faktor bentuk DAS merupakan rasio dari keliling (K) dan luas area (A) DAS. Analisis model menggunakan regresi dengan berbagai alternatif. Hasilnya permodelan hidrograf satuan sintetis (HSS) dengan variabel luas DAS (A), panjang sungai terpanjang (L), dan faktor bentuk DAS (FD) dan tentunya sesuai dengan kriteria dari koefisien determinasi, diharapkan mempunyai sensitivitas yang cukup tinggi. Faktor bentuk DAS (FD) diharapkan mempunyai hubungan linear dengan parameter hidrograf satuan sintetis.Kata kunci: debit puncak banjir, waktu mencapai puncak, luas DAS, panjang sungai terpanjang, faktor bentuk DAS   ABSTRACT The lack of hydrograph data availability is an obstacle for water building planning. This constraint makes HSS models will provide considerable benefits. Ideally each watershed has a Hydrograph Unit with certain characteristics. This study aims to observe the hydrograph characteristics of observations in each watershed and all watersheds in South Sulawesi Province. The main objective of this study is to design a Synthetic Unit Hydrograph Model, including the peak flood discharge equation (Qp) and the time to reach the flood peak (Tp), which among others is a function of the watershed area (A), longest river length (L), and form factor Watershed. The watershed form factor is the ratio of perimeter (K) and area (A) of the watershed. Model analysis uses regression with various alternatives. The result is synthetic unit hydrograph modeling (HSS) with a broad variable watershed (A), longest river length (L), and DAS (FD) form factor and of course according to the criteria of the coefficient of determination, it is expected to have a high enough sensitivity. The DAS (FD) form factor is expected to have a linear relationship with the parameters of synthetic unit hydrographs.

The policy of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources that provides permits for mining production activities for PT. MCM in the Batang Alai River area has an impact on the hydrology of the area. This study will discuss the changes in land use in the Batang Alai River area, Batang Alai Timur District, Hulu Sungai Tengah to the aspects of high flow and low flow hydrology.          The research method used is manual calculation with rational methods for high flow hydrology and calculations using the ArcSWAT 2012.10.1.18 for low flow hydrology. The data needed in the processing are rainfall data, DEM data, daily discharge data, climatology data, land use data, land use change data, and Batang Alai watershed data.          The results of the study were that the ratio of peak discharge of land use was changed to the mining area and land use was not converted into a mining area for high flow hydrology calculations. There is an increase in plan flood discharge in the Batang Alai River if there is a change in land use into a mining area, the design flood discharge always increases in each period. Whereas for low flow hydrology is the comparison between the daily use of land use converted into a mining area and land use is not converted into a mining area, then the daily discharge results are calculated for the availability of water. The results of low-flow hydrological modeling are categorized as good and have high influence based on the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency value grouping and the coefficient of determination, and water availability decreases if land use is converted into a mining area.

Timber volume is an important asset, not only as an ecological component, but also as a key source of present and future revenues, which requires precise estimates. We used the Trimble TX8 survey-grade terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) to create a detailed 3D point cloud for extracting total tree height and diameter at breast height (1.3 m; DBH). We compared two different methods to accurately estimate total tree heights: the first method was based on a modified version of the local maxima algorithm for treetop detection, “HTTD”, and for the second method we used the centers of stem cross-sections at stump height (30 cm), “HTSP”. DBH was estimated by a computationally robust algebraic circle-fitting algorithm through hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). This study aimed to assess the accuracy of these descriptors for evaluating total stem volume by comparing the results with the reference tree measurements. The difference between the estimated total stem volume from HTTD and measured stems was 2.732 m3 for European oak and 2.971 m3 for Norway spruce; differences between the estimated volume from HTSP and measured stems was 1.228 m3 and 2.006 m3 for European oak and Norway spruce, respectively. The coefficient of determination indicated a strong relationship between the measured and estimated total stem volumes from both height estimation methods with an R2 = 0.89 for HTTD and R2 = 0.87 for HTSP for European oak, and R2 = 0.98 for both HTTD and HTSP for Norway spruce. Our study has demonstrated the feasibility of finer-resolution remote sensing data for semi-automatic stem volumetric modeling of small-scale studies with high accuracy as a potential advancement in precision forestry.

Abstract. With the energetic particle telescope (EPT) performing with direct electron and proton discrimination on board the ESA satellite PROBA-V, we analyze the high-resolution measurements of the charged particle radiation environment at an altitude of 820 km for the year 2015. On 17 March 2015, a big geomagnetic storm event injected unusual fluxes up to low radial distances in the radiation belts. EPT electron measurements show a deep dropout at L > 4 starting during the main phase of the storm, associated to the penetration of high energy fluxes at L < 2 completely filling the slot region. After 10 days, the formation of a new slot around L = 2.8 for electrons of 500–600 keV separates the outer belt from the belt extending at other longitudes than the South Atlantic Anomaly. Two other major events appeared in January and June 2015, again with injections of electrons in the inner belt, contrary to what was observed in 2013 and 2014. These observations open many perspectives to better understand the source and loss mechanisms, and particularly concerning the formation of three belts.

In the urban area, flooding becomes the most common disaster that has not been resolved until today. The utilization of river border area into housing and lack of absorption area becomes the trigger factor of urban flooding, as what is happening around Way Halim River on Seroja street. In this area, floods often happen during the rainy season, with the latest events recorded on January 21st, 2021. Analysis of flood intensities and discharges can be parameters for the decision-making of flood mitigation strategies. This study aims to analyze the flood discharges along Way Halim River, Seroja street by comparing the flood discharges resulting from three analysis methods of Synthetic Unit Hydrograph (SUH) including Gama I SUH, Nakayasu SUH, and Snyder SUH. Finally, suitable flood mitigation strategies were also proposed in this study based on the flood discharges and rain intensities. The results showed that Nakayasu SUH had the highest peak flood discharge than Snyder SUH and Gama I SUH. Based on the results of the investigation of land suitability; and analysis of rainfall intensities and flood discharges, the proposed flood mitigation in Seroja street is by installing biopore infiltration holes along Seroja street for storing water and reducing the risk of flooding in the area.

ABSTRACT Rainfall time series with high temporal resolution are required for estimating storm events for the design of urban drainage systems, for performing rainfall-runoff simulation in small catchments and for modeling flash-floods. Nonetheless, large and continuous sub-daily rainfall samples are often unavailable. For dealing with the limited availability of high-resolution rainfall records, in both time and space, this paper explored an alternative version of the k-nearest neighbors algorithm, coupled with the method of fragments (KNN-MOF model), which utilizes a state-based logic for simulating consecutive wet days and a regionalized similarity-based approach for sampling fragments from hydrologically similar nearby stations. The proposed disaggregation method was applied to 40 rainfall gauging stations located in the São Francisco and Doce river catchments. Disaggregation of daily rainfall was performed for the durations of 60, 180 and 360 minutes. Results indicated the model presented an appropriate performance to disaggregate daily rainfall, reasonably reproducing sub-daily summary statistics. In addition, the annual block-maxima behavior, even for low exceedance probabilities, was relatively well described, although not all expected variability in the quantiles was properly summarized by the model. Overall, the proposed approach proved a sound and easy to implement alternative for simulating continuous sub-daily rainfall amounts from coarse-resolution records.

AbstractPotential Evapotranspiration (PET) plays a crucial role in water management, including irrigation systems design and management. It is an essential input to hydrological models. Direct measurement of PET is difficult, time-consuming and costly, therefore a number of different methods are used to compute this variable. This study compares the two sensitivity analysis approaches generally used for PET impact assessment on hydrological model performance. We conducted the study in the Upper Benue River Basin (UBRB) located in northern Cameroon using two lumped-conceptual rainfall-runoff models and nineteen PET estimation methods. A Monte-Carlo procedure was implemented to calibrate the hydrological models for each PET input while considering similar objective functions. Although there were notable differences between PET estimation methods, the hydrological models performance was satisfactory for each PET input in the calibration and validation periods. The optimized model parameters were significantly affected by the PET-inputs, especially the parameter responsible to transform PET into actual ET. The hydrological models performance was insensitive to the PET input using a dynamic sensitivity approach, while he was significantly affected using a static sensitivity approach. This means that the over-or under-estimation of PET is compensated by the model parameters during the model recalibration. The model performance was insensitive to the rescaling PET input for both dynamic and static sensitivities approaches. These results demonstrate that the effect of PET input to model performance is necessarily dependent on the sensitivity analysis approach used and suggest that the dynamic approach is more effective for hydrological modeling perspectives.
