  2. Catchment hydrology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catchment_hydrology

    Catchment zone in Nattai, Australia containing drinking water. Catchment hydrology is the study of hydrology in drainage basins. Catchments are areas of land where runoff collects to a specific zone. This movement is caused by water moving from areas of high energy to low energy due to the influence of gravity.

  3. Watershed delineation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watershed_delineation

    Watershed delineation is the process of identifying the boundary of a watershed, also referred to as a catchment, drainage basin, or river basin.It is an important step in many areas of environmental science, engineering, and management, for example to study flooding, aquatic habitat, or water pollution.

  4. Flash flood guidance system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_flood_guidance_system

    The flash flood guidance approach to developing flash flood warnings rests on the real-time comparison of observed or forecast rainfall volume of a given duration and over a given catchment to a characteristic volume of rainfall for that duration and catchment that generates bank full flow conditions at the catchment outlet. If the observed or ...

  6. Runoff model (reservoir) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runoff_model_(reservoir)

    A watershed or drainage basin. A runoff models or rainfall-runoff model describes how rainfall is converted into runoff in a drainage basin (catchment area or watershed). More precisely, it produces a surface runoff hydrograph in response to a rainfall event, represented by and input as a hyetograph.

  7. Storm Water Management Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Water_Management_Model

    The last rewrite of EPA SWMM was produced by the Water Supply and Water Resources Division of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Risk Management Research Laboratory with assistance from the consulting firm of CDM Inc under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). SWMM 5 is used as the computational engine for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrologic_Research_Center...

    Hydrologic Research Center (HRC.), founded in 1993, is a public-benefit non-profit research, technology transfer, and science cooperation and education organization, dedicated to the development of effective and sustainable solutions to global water issues.

  9. Hydrograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrograph

    A stream hydrograph is commonly determining the influence of different hydrologic processes on discharge from the subject catchment. Because the timing, magnitude, and duration of groundwater return flow differs so greatly from that of direct runoff, separating and understanding the influence of these distinct processes is key to analyzing and simulating the likely hydrologic effects of ...
