I am working on urban runoff modeling using a grid based distributed
model, I want to select a study site for my research, new residential
area, I can do simulation on DEM from 1m and higher. I want urban area
(small- 5-10 ha), I need very detail DEM, the topography of urban areas
is very complex, I need also to consider the shape of the roof ,
probably I will end up working on a grid size of less than 2.5 m, to
incorporate all the detail of pervious and impervious surface,
including the roof. I am not sure the best way to get a DEM (less than
2.5 m), digitize from contour map? Or from fine-scale multispectral
satellite imagery? Field survey ? Also how to incorporate the details
of the roofs and other BMPs structures? Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

You might also consider employing HEC GeoRAS and HEC GeoHMS for model setup. See
link below for links to these programs, tutorials, etc.

Hello everybody, I am a phd student. My area of work is mountain
hydrology. In my phd we decided to do flood mapping. I am searching
for models at this time. We will use a model to calculate the runoff
of the watershed and one model to calculate the sediment transport. In
addition we will use GIS for the presentation of the outputs and to
calculate many of the parameters of the area. Finally we will produce
buffers to mapping the areas of flood risk. Until now I have found the
above models : SWAT , MIKE 11 or MIKE SHE and SOBEK. My study area is
in Greece. I would like if somebody knows other programs compatible to
my area ( Mediterranean ) to inform me (it does not bother me if the
runoff and sediment transport are in different models) . Thank you in
advance.

Try SWAT, Topmodel + other for sediments, MIDHAS, etc.

Software hydrological modelling (SHE, MIKE -SHE), etc) It has many problems
because use many parameters.

My advice is “developer your own model”, you have all equation in the books.
Example TOPMODEL: “The Primer” -Beven

Hello Everyone,
 
While exporting the ¡storage-outflow¢ curve from HEC-RAS to a DSS file
(File>>Export to HEC-DSS>>Storage Outflow), the program crashes and gives out
¡Run-time error '9': Subscript out of Range¢ error (snapshot attached).
Interesting fact is that the versions (3.1.1, 3.1.3,  or 4.0) do not matter and
I am getting the same error irrespective of versions.
 
I am sure that I am missing one minor but critical link in the puzzle. Before
digging too much into it,  I was wondering if anyone has ever faced this
problem. Your suggestions are highly appreciated and I will summarize your ideas
after resolution of the issues.
 
Thanks in advance
Amit

INTRODUCTION

Problems such as industrialization in parallel with irregular urbanization,
water-solid waste, sewage, selection of unsuitable land and unreasonable use of
natural sources are rapidly growing in many countries with the rapid and dynamic
development, societal change and industrialization.

Sustainable development could be succeeded with the good management of
sustainable development principles and with the manner of understanding to
provide continuity, but not with the destructive ways in source use,
agricultural activities, urbanization and industrialization.

As a Faculty of Engineering of Kyrgyzstan-Turkey Manas University, we consider
our social duty to implement mutual informative studies related with the
determination of environmental problems worldwide and the suggestions for the
possible solutions.

The environmental problems and the solutions discussed in a broad perspective at
the symposium would provide participants of the countries to determine the
environmental impacts of sustainable development and also to shed light on the
economic results of environmental politics. An environmental problem already
occurred in one country will enlighten the other countries. While the scientists
share their knowledge with each other, environmental administrators transfer
their experiences and new collaborations would be managed between participant
countries.

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the symposium are investigation and discussion of
environmental problems or issues occurred in many countries, sharing technical
and scientific improvements/developments and transferring them to wider
population and also bringing  researchers,  company representatives and
administrators into close contact at the same platform.

Hi,

I am trying to simulate the water flow in a Brazilian Experimental
Basin of about 100 km2 using FEFLOW and I have some doubts that the
software manuals do not explain. I would be grateful if someone can
help me...

The basin is instrumented with 4 rain stations, 60 piezometric
stations, 7 water level river stations and a climatological station
(Penman-Monteith).

My queries:

1. How to input rain data (recharge) in the FEFLOW considering its
time variation?

- Can I use the water balance equation, or a % of the rain, and,
after that, convert the result in recharge, as constant Flux (m/day)
during a certain period of time (file .trp), for example?

- Can I use a Power file (.pow)???

- Other suggestion....

Thanks,

Objet : [hydrologymodel] help for a FEFLOW model

Greetings to Everybody!

I am looking from some advice regarding a numerical simulation in
FEFLOW, including flow and mass transport in transient state, for an
unsaturated model.

The model was built based on the field data and parameters as taken
from referenced literature. However, for some reason, I have the
feeling that I get too much dispersion through the model domain.

If anyone could give some advice, I can provide more specific
information.

Thank you with anticipation!

Good Day,

I invite suggestions from the learned members regarding most
appropriate methods to estimate groundwater recharge from artificial
recharge and rainwater harvesting structures (such as anicuts, field
bunds, gabions etc) in a hard rock area for studying their impacts on
groundwater resources. Whether any specific softwares are available

Re: Modelling of seawater intrusion
Monday, September 22, 2008 3:52 PM
From: "alessandro.casasso" <alessandro.casasso@...>
To: "C. P. Kumar" <cpkumar@...>

Have you found any answer to you questions? I'm working at a MS thesis about
Feflow modelling of a shallow aquifer in Venice. I will not try to model salt
pans - too difficult even to think where they are.

About rainfall and evapotranspiration: I've got rainfall and temperature data. I
calculated ET with Blaney-Criddle formula, but I found that results are
overestimated. I tried to reduce risults by comparing modeling results with real
results (in the area I'm studying, I can get results from 11 piezometers..) and
I found that BC formula results can be divided by 3. I found that ET estimation
is one of the most difficult parts of shallow aquifers modeling...

I've got no idea about brackish water in rivers. In my model, I assigned the
tidal oscillations (1st type boundary conditions) also to a channel of Venice
lagoon that encloses my modeling domain.

I developed a relation between TDS and conductivity (I've got specifical
conductivity measures), but I did a very rude approximation. As I'm modeling a
peninsula, I thought that seawater contains most NaCl , so conductivity
(microSiemens per cm) is dominated by NaCl concentration. Conductivity is linked
to NaCl concentration in this way: - every ion has an equivalent conductivity,
that is the specifical conductivity for a concentration of 1 equivalent/liter
(for NaCl, 1 equivalent = 1 mole); - this equivalent conductivity is also linked
to concentration by Onsager formula; - specifical conductivity = equiv conduct x
concentration [mole/liter]

I visited your site some time ago, I found it very interesting. Sorry for my
English, I have to improve it. About my tip on TDS-conductivity: as we say in
Italy "here I tell it, and here I deny it" :-) I'm only a MS student and I got
these advice reading a laboratory chemistry manual...

See you soon on this forum,
Alessandro Casasso

Dear Group Member,

I am grateful to the following members/experts for their interesting/useful
observations/comments/suggestions on my report "Modelling of a Coastal Aquifer
using FEFLOW" (available at ftp://ftp.wasy.de/FEFLOW/Goa.pdf ).

(1) Reinhard Zapata (Waterloo Hydrogeologic, Canada)
(2) Krishnaiah C. (India)
(3) S.V.N.Rao (Roorkee, India)
(4) V.V.S. Gurunadha Rao (Hyderabad, India)
(5) Michael Jorgensen (Australia)

I am prompted to seek further suggestions for the following issues in modelling
the seawater intrusion in coastal aquifers.

(a) How to model the effect of salt pans on groundwater in coastal areas?

(b) How to incorporate the evaporation from open water surfaces (e.g. to define
time-variant boundary condition in case of rivers) and evaporation from shallow
groundwater table?

(c) How to model the effect of brackish water in rivers (due to tidal backwater
effect from sea) on groundwater in coastal areas?

(d) How to develop correlation between resistivity values and TDS and between
resistivity values and hydraulic conductivity.

(e) Suitability of Kriging, Akima and Inverse Distance Weighting techniques for
interpolation/regionalization of different parameters/variables.

Any suggestions for the above will be helpful for extension of this (or similar)
study in future.

There is a small errata in the report - title of figure 7 may be read as
"Measured Values of Hydraulic Conductivity (*10E-4 m/s)" - the multiplier was
missing.

Kumar
