Flood Hydrograph Analysis Through Employing Physical Attributes Using Two and Multiple Variables Regression Factor and Cluster Analysis (Case Study: Western Part of Jazmurian Watershed)

Since direct experimental evidence is not available, this must be verified through a modeling approach, provided adequate data be available. Many statistical methods are used to study the relation between independent and dependent variables.This research was carried out at the western part of Jazmurian basin tlocated in the southeast of Iran. In this paperused ten physical characteristics such as area (A), perimeter (Pr), average elevation of basin (av.e), average slope (av.s), gravelious coefficient (G), length of main stream (L), pure slope of main stream (P), length of output to one point equivalent center of basin (Lc), Time of concentration (Tc) and lag time(Tl) as independent variables and nine hydrograph component such as Qp, Q25, Q50, Q75, Tp, T25, T50, T75 and Tb as dependent variables.We investigate flood hydrograph through the physical attributes using two and multiple variables regression factor and cluster analysis.With the data of twelve hydrometric stations.

The Efficiency of SCS-CN, HEC-1, HEC-HMS, TR55, RATIONAL, and SNYDER UNIT Hydrograph Models for Determining Peak Flood Discharge in the Upper Part of Lesser Zab Basin, Kurdistan Region, Iraq

Iraqi Bulletin of Geology and Mining

The Unit Hydrograph (UH) and Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) are prevalent methods for estimating peak flow and peak time within the hydrological river basins. Different types of data, such as gauging data, morphometric analysis, and Land Use-Land Cover (LULC), are used to derive UH for the Kanarwe River Basin (KRB), which is an off-the-Lesser Zab River Basin (LZRB). Different hydrograph models, including HEC-1 (Hydrological Engineering Centre), TR55 (Technical release 55), HEC-HMS (Hydrological Engineering Centre-Hydrological Modeling System), Rational method, and Snyder unit hydrograph, have been applied and correlated with field data. Metrological data, geological setting, and land cover were integrated into the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Watershed Modelling System (WMS 11.1). The peak time (Tp) and peak flow (Qp) were estimated based on the five applied models. The results for models are (Qp = 739.93 m3/sec, Tp = 20 hr), (Qp 181.4 m3/sec, Tp = 14 hr...

Alubijid River Basin Hydrologic Modeling in Misamis Oriental for Flood Risk Management

Flood modeling studies for the purpose of forecasting, early warning, and disaster management of the local government and other disaster agencies have been done in many countries nowadays. With a similar rationale, this study aims to assess the precipitation-runoff capacity of the Alubijid River Basin which can put a significant number of 41,936 populations at risk to flooding. Using the 10-meter resolution SAR-DEM, the drainage system of the river basin was delineated in ArcMap 10.1 with the aid of HEC-GeoHMS. Data were collected last November 26-27, 2014 during the " Typhoon Queenie " which contributes to water level rise of 1.04 meter MSL of 86.7 mm accumulated rainfall with a peak discharge of 18.7 m3/s. The hydrologic data and generated basin model were inputted in HEC-HMS for calibration. After series of manual adjusting the river basin's parameters, the hydrologic modeling revealed that the river basin was accepted based on the conducted model validation and performance rating. The overall statistical measures conducted obtained very good and satisfactory ratings. As a result, the basin model is accepted for water level monitoring and forecasting as it gives lead time for the preparation of evacuation of the vulnerable community to the safe sites identified by the local government unit.

Estimation of flood influencing characteristics of watershed and their impact on flooding in datascarce region

annals of gis, 2021

The research is focused on the integrated use of satellite remote sensing, Geographic Information System (GIS), and extensive field observation techniques for a better understanding of the impacts of watershed characteristics on hydrological processes and floods. It aims to create a methodology for assessing flood hazards and risk on a regional and local scale so that protective measures can be designed. Floods have occurred in the study area for many years, causing serious damage to infrastructure and civic structures. The present study evaluates the linear, aerial and relief morphometric parameters using the Cartosat-1 digital elevation model (30 metres) along with the curve number for assessing the flood influencing characteristics of the Vishwamitri River's subwatersheds. The study prioritizes five sub-watersheds as high, medium, and low based on their flood influencing characteristics and compound value, as a result, needs the highest priority for flood mitigation measures. The sub-watersheds I and IV of Vishwamitri watershed have been categorized into high priority, sub-watersheds II and V into moderate priority, and subwatershed III into low priority. The geologic stage of development and erosion proneness of the watershed is quantified by hypsometric integral bearing value as 0.04, indicating the landscape to be in monadnock phase in landscape evolution indicative of a marked old stage in the basin's evolution. Moreover, the ability of the rain-on-grid model at the watershed scale to simulate flood events and predict flood-prone areas, considering multiple rain gauge data, which will facilitate more accurate flood inundation where ground-based observational data are unavailable is shown.

Applying Geostatistical Methods for Analyzing Regional Flood Frequency in North of Iran (Case Study: Mazandaran Catchments)

Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology, 2017

In Iran, applying geostatistics to regional analysis is said to be in its early stages. The fundamental principle of this technique emphasizes the interpolation of hydrological variables in physiographical, instead of geographical, spaces. This paper deals with the adaptation, application, and comparison of two regional analysis methods based on geostatistics. In this study, data from 38 gauging stations located in the north of Iran were used to investigate the performance of geostatistical methods in two physiographical spaces. Two multivariate analysis methods, namely, Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) and Principal Components Analysis (PCA), were used to identify physiographical spaces. Gaussian and exponential models were selected as the best theoretical variogram models in CCA and PCA spaces, respectively. Ordinary and simple kriging geostatistical estimators were also used for regional estimations in both physiographical spaces. Using the interpolation methods in CCA and PC...
