Dear Friend,

While climate change affects surface water resources directly through changes in
the major long-term climate variables such as air temperature, precipitation,
and evapotranspiration, the relationship between the changing climate variables
and groundwater is more complicated and poorly understood. The greater
variability in rainfall could mean more frequent and prolonged periods of high
or low groundwater levels, and saline intrusion in coastal aquifers due to sea
level rise.

Groundwater resources are related to climate change through the direct
interaction with surface water resources, such as lakes and rivers, and
indirectly through the recharge process. The direct effect of climate change on
groundwater resources depends upon the change in the volume and distribution of
groundwater recharge. Therefore, quantifying the impact of climate change on
groundwater resources requires not only reliable forecasting of changes in the
major climatic variables, but also accurate estimation of groundwater recharge.
Quantification of the groundwater recharge will help in taking appropriate
adaptation strategies due to the impact of climate change.

There have been many studies relating the effect of climate changes on surface
water bodies. However, very little research exists on the potential effects of
climate change on groundwater.  The scientific understanding of an aquifer's
response to climate change has been studied in several locations within the past
decade. These studies link atmospheric models to unsaturated soil models (such
as Visual HELP), which were further linked into a groundwater model (Modflow).
The groundwater models used were calibrated to current groundwater conditions
and stressed under different predicted climate change scenarios. The
HELP-MODFLOW approach proceeds in the following manner -

1. Synthetic generation of daily values of precipitation, mean temperature, and
solar radiation (using a weather generator) for projected climate change.

2. Estimation of groundwater recharge based on available precipitation and
temperature records and anticipated changes to these parameters (using Visual
HELP).

3. Quantification of the spatially distributed recharge rates using the climate
data and spatial soil survey data.

4. Simulation of groundwater flow using each recharge data set and evaluation of
the changes in groundwater flow and levels through time.

Regarding the above approach, I would like to know the views of learned members
on the following aspects -

(a) Which is the most appropriate method to downscale GCM outputs for a basin?

(b) If there are any flaws associated with HELP-MODFLOW methodology (described
above) mostly used by various researchers during last few years?

(c) If the runoff generation process (rainfall-runoff modelling) needs to be
essentially incorporated in the study?

(d) Whether instead of HELP, distributed unsaturated modelling (Richards
equation) should be done for climatic impact studies? What are the relative
advantages of using HELP (e.g. simplistic approach and ease of use) and
disadvantages of distributed modelling (e.g. extensive data requirement and
large computation resources) and vice versa?

(e) Whether any comprehensive overland-unsaturated-saturated model such as
MIKE-SHE can be used for studying the impact of climate change on groundwater
recharge? And relative advantages and disadvantages?

I look forward for the comments on above.

Hello,

Try the USGS Program HYSEP http://water.usgs.gov/software/HYSEP/.

Washington State used the program to analyze ground water flow to
streams across the state,  http://www.ecy.wa.gov/biblio/99327.html.

please check the meteorology component again. If there is no output ( Flow,
Hydrograph,, etc) then there is something wrong with your input (eg. rainfall
etc)..

Dear All,

I am interested in HEC-HMS. I am trying to model my basin by using HEC-HMS.

I am building basin component, meteorology component and control specifications

correctly. I am running the model and it is not giving any error, it is running
successfully.

But when i check the results, i see that my model is not producing flow. There

is no hyetograph and outflow. I didnt understand the problem.  I m doing all
required parts(Loss, Transform,Baseflow,

required parameters). It is not producing flow even only one subbasin. I think I
am

doing a small mistake somewhere but where?

Any idea?

Cheers,

dear hydrologists..
I am very newbie in hydrology model , i want to make a rainfall runoff
model to prediction continuous river flow simulation , i have a hourly
rainfall data (near realtime) .

I need your advice, what kind a model i must use and learn, cause i
find a lot of kind model like pitman model, simple linear model,
Artificial neutral network model ,and etc,

thanks,,

Faridah,

You can use of AVSWAT model if your research about Point source pollutant. This
model is is open source, please see web site http://www.brc.tamus.edu/swat/

Hallo

Am carrying out an assessment on Nonpoint sources of pollution in lake victoria,
am interested in showing landuse change in the catchment and how water quality
in the rivers draiining into the lake is changing in time. I need to comeup with
managment strategies to reduce pollution from the catchment. I will delineate my
catchment and select my rivers of interest, then match with the most dorminate
landuse around the river to comeup with  the most polluting landuse. Do you have
any model options?     I saw  one called RiverLife GIS, do u have any knowlegde
about this? if not which other option should i use?

Faridah

i am very sure that you will not be able to create a high resolution
dem from contour maps, neither do i think that satellite imagery will
work. the common way would be laser scanning from a plane. notice that
creating a dem will be pretty expensive .
required resolution depends on the tasks you need to perform. we have
made the experience that 1 m resolution might not even be sufficient
if you want to perform detailled modelling of surface pathways as
structures that influence flow tend to be even smaller (e.g. kurbs).
in this case your data will need to be imroved by field surveys. you
may want to use a tin in this case rather than a dem.
for estimation of catchments a 1m dem will work perfectly fine even in
urban areas. however some manual adjustment from map data and field
surveys is required in this case, too. other problems may be pathways
crossing houses (in case of the dem), pathways blocked by vegetation
(in case of a surface modell) or pathways blocked by railway tracks or
streets.
the amount of work required for data preparation very much depends on
the results you are trying to achieve.
best,
roland

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

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.

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.

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,
