Quantifying Mountain Basin Runoff Mechanisms for Better Hydrologic Design (Sep 2020, MPC-20-419)
Hydrologic analyses are used for dam safety evaluations to determine the flow a dam must pass without failing. They are also used to evaluate bridge and culvert designs. Many current guidelines model flood runoff solely by an infiltration-excess mechanism. Saturation-excess runoff and subsurface stormflow...
Incorporating River Network Structure for Improved Hydrologic Design of Transportation Infrastructure (Mar 2020, MPC-20-412)
When designing transportation infrastructure, stormflow hydrographs are commonly estimated using synthetic unit hydrograph (UH) methods, particularly for ungauged basins. Current synthetic UHs either consider very limited aspects of basin geometry or require explicit representation of the basin flow...
