Field Application of the Multilinear Muskingum Discharge Routing Method
Sahoo, Bhabagrahi - In: Water Resources Management 27 (2013) 5, pp. 1193-1205
To implicitly model the nonlinear dynamics of flood wave propagation in rivers with floodplains, a multilinear discharge-hydrograph routing method based on time distribution scheme is proposed. The framework of this method is based on the variable parameter Muskingum-type routing method, which...

The Use of the Recession Index as an Indicator for Streamflow Recovery After a Multi-Year Drought
Kienzle, Stefan - In: Water Resources Management 20 (2006) 6, pp. 991-1006
A procedure is proposed that enables the estimation of natural baseflow in a gauged watershed through analyses of recession curves and stream hydrographs. The analysis results in a surrogate for the recovery level of a watershed after a prolonged drought and allows the medium term prediction of...
