Prioritizing levee repairs: a case study for the city of Indianapolis, Indiana

Meunier, Brian; Merwade, Venkatesh - In: Natural Hazards 72 (2014) 2, pp. 997-1019

Levees are one of the major structures in the USA to protect land and property from devastating floods. Many of these were built primarily for protecting farmland in the mid-nineteenth century. However, urban development has led to increase in the number of homes sheltered by the levees, which...

Modelling Rainfall Runoff Relations Using HEC-HMS and IHACRES for a Single Rain Event in an Arid Region of Jordan

Abushandi, Eyad; Merkel, Broder - In: Water Resources Management 27 (2013) 7, pp. 2391-2409

The HEC-HMS and IHACRES rainfall runoff models were applied to simulate a single streamflow event in Wadi Dhuliel arid …-adjusted satellite-derived rainfall dataset (GSMaP_MVK+) to determine the location of the rainfall storm. The HEC-HMS model was applied … using the HEC-GeoHMS extension in ArcView 3.3 while the IHACRES is Java-based version model. The HEC-HMS model input data …

Flood Intensification due to Changes in Land Use

Saghafian, Bahram; Farazjoo, Hassan; Bozorgy, Babak; … - In: Water Resources Management 22 (2008) 8, pp. 1051-1067

The non-stationarity in runoff regime may be attributed to various causes such as climate change, land use change, and man-made runoff control structures. Degradation of land use can induce significant impact on infiltration and surface roughness leading to higher flood discharges. This study...
