Full textAgricultural production has become vital to the Sandveld, of which Verlorenvlei is a part, in terms of both economic growth and food security. It is well documented as an area under threat of severe natural resource depletion if it is not well managed with sustainability in mind. Agricultural production, other human-driven development and the survival of the local ecosystems compete for the limited water resources. This study uses the SWAT hydrological model to simulate the transport of water through the catchment area. ArcSWAT, a third-party software extension to ArcGIS, is used as an interface between ArcGIS and the SWAT model. Spatial data (DEM, soil and landuse) is used in the preprocessing phase and fed into the SWAT model through the interface. Daily climate data were sourced and prepared according to the SWAT model’s input requirements. Considerable effort was required to fill temporal and spatial gaps in available climate data, and to infer certain unmeasured climate variables from other measurements (e.g. infer solar radiation from daylight hours, time of the year and latitude). The SWAT hydrological model was then run. The model results compared favourably to measured flow data. The study recommends building on from this first step using the SWAT hydrological model to simulate future land use scenarios for the catchment area.

Full textThe Hydrological Simulation Program - FORTRAN (HSPF) in its personal computer version, release 10.10, was used to perform the hydrological simulation of a sub-watershed of the Occoquan River drainage basin. The sub-watershed selected was the Cub Run Watershed located in the northern area of the Occoquan River catchment. A model in the form of a User Control Input (UCI) file was prepared. The Cub Run Watershed was analyzed considering its geological, edaphic and weather characteristics, and segmented accordingly. The model was calibrated to adjust simulated results to observed data. Several calibration runs were executed and a final run was done considering a further segmented watershed. The simulation results were good even when not all the desired data could be found. The annual percent difference between the best calibration run and the observed results was 21.28%. The ten-month percent difference, excluding June and July, was 5.82 %. The first value is a fair result for hydrologic calibration, the second value is an excellent result for the same type of calibration. Additional segmentation did not further improve the results obtained during the best calibration run. Differences in the calibration when considering just a pervious segment or two segments (one pervious and one impervious) could be noted, indicating the importance of considering impervious surfaces for the simulation. HSPF reacted quite logically to variations in the calibration parameters and the results from those variations could be predicted beforehand. In summary, the PC version of HSPF was demonstrated to be a good management tool for the hydrological simulation of this watershed.

Horner, Ivan. "Design and evaluation of hydrological signatures for the diagnostic and improvement of a process-based distributed hydrological model." Thesis, Université Grenoble Alpes, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020GRALU014.
Full textThe evaluation of hydrological models is typically based on comparisons of observed and sim-ulated streamflow time series using performance metrics such as the Nash-Sutcli˙e Eÿciency. Although it provides relevant measures of the predictive performance of a model, this type of approach provides very little information on the reasons behind good or bad performance. Instead, Gupta et al. (2008) proposed to use hydrological signatures which are indicators that characterize catchment behaviors. Because they can be related to hydrological processes, using them when comparing observation with simulation enable the evaluation of the model while o˙ering diagnostics, i.e. indications on the hydrological processes that are well or badly repre-sented in the model.In this PhD thesis, we focus on the interpretations and diagnostic power of hydrological signatures and how they can be used to guide the improvement of a distributed model. We present the building of a set of hydrological signatures, using only widely available data – pre-cipitation, streamflow and air temperature – to characterize the hydrological functioning of 4 Ardèche sub-catchments (South East of France) and 10 snow dominated catchments of the Southern Sierra mountains (California, USA). Already existing and new hydrological signatures are selected and/or designed. Collectively, they can characterize catchment behavior in a wide variety of hydro-climatic contexts. We demonstrate the value of additional snow measurements to evaluate the information content of snow dedicated hydrological signatures. In the context of the Ardèche catchment, we set up the J2000 distributed model and use a sensitivity analysis to understand how the hydrological signatures are linked to the model parameters. This provides insights into how they are to be interpreted in the context of the J2000 Ardèche model and allows the assessment of their diagnostic power. Finally, combining the results of the sensi-tivity analysis with comparisons between observed and simulated hydrological signatures, we undertake an in-depth diagnostic of the model to provide and test recommendations for its improvement. Deficiencies of the model functioning are identified, mainly related to soil and groundwater storage and fluxes, highlighting issues in the spatial representation of soil and geological properties

Full textThis paper presents the set-up and the performance of the SWAT model in the Modder River Basin. Two techniques widely used, namely quantitative statistics and graphical techniques, in evaluating hydrological models were used to evaluate the performance of SWAT model. Three quantitative statistics used were, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), present bias (PBIAS), and ratio of the mean square error to the standard deviation of measured data (RSR). The performance of the model was compared with the recommended statistical performance ratings for monthly time step data. The model performed well when compared against monthly model performance ratings during calibration and validation stage.

Full textrkiye. The basin is divided into three sub-basins named as Kirazdere, Kazandere and Serindere where each sub-basin is represented by its own characteristics. The largest peaks of inflow were observed when the storm events occur due to both snowmelt and rain. Therefore, observed flows for the period of 2001-2006 were grouped as daily and hourly storm events according to the event types such as rainfall, snowmelt or mixed events. Rainfall- Runoff Model (NAM) module of the model was used for the simulation of daily snowmelt and rain on snow events and Unit Hydrograph Method (UHM) module was used for the simulation of hourly rainfall events. A new methodology is suggested for the determination of Curve Number (CN) of the sub-basins by using the fractional area and topographic index values combined with hourly model simulations. The resulting CN values were used in the UHM module v and the suggested CN approach has been validated with the classical SCS-CN approach with GIS analysis. As a result of the study, the parameters of each sub-basin are calibrated with hourly and daily model simulations. The resulting flows are compared with the observed flows where model efficiency is tested with visual and statistical evaluations. The modeling studies give promising results for the computation of runoff during different seasons of a year.

Full textForecasts of hydrological information are vital for many of society's functions. Availability of water is a requirement for any civilization, and this necessitates quantitative estimates of water for effective resource management. The research in this dissertation will focus on the forecasting of hydrological quantities, with emphasis on times of anomalously low water availability, commonly referred to as droughts. Of particular focus is the quantification of uncertainty in hydrological forecasts, and the factors that affect that uncertainty. With this focus, Bayesian methods, including ensemble data assimilation and multi-model combinations, are utilized to develop a probabilistic forecasting system. This system is applied to the upper Colorado River Basin for water supply and drought forecast analysis.
This dissertation examines further advancements related to the identification of drought intensity. Due to the reliance of drought forecasting on measures of the magnitude of a drought event, it is imperative that these measures be highly accurate. In order to quantify drought intensity, hydrologists typically use statistical indices, which place observed hydrological deficiencies within the context of historical climate. Although such indices are a convenient framework for understanding the intensity of a drought event, they have obstacles related to non-stationary climate, and non-uniformly distributed input variables. This dissertation discusses these shortcomings, demonstrates some errors that conventional indices may lead to, and then proposes a movement towards physically-based indices to overcome these issues.
A final advancement in this dissertation is an examination of the sensitivity of hydrological forecasts to initial conditions. Although this has been performed in many recent studies, the experiment here takes a more detailed approach. Rather than determining the lead time at which meteorological forcing becomes dominant with respect to initial conditions, this study quantifies the lead time at which the forecast becomes entirely insensitive to initial conditions, and estimating the rate at which the forecast loses sensitivity to initial conditions. A primary goal with this study is to examine the recovery of drought, which is related to the loss of sensitivity to below average initial moisture conditions over time. Through this analysis, it is found that forecasts are sensitive to initial conditions at greater lead times than previously thought, which has repercussions for development of forecast systems.

Full textAlterações do uso do solo produzem efeitos nos processos hidrológicos de uma bacia através de alterações na evapotranspiração e no fluxo de água superficial e subterrânea na paisagem. Na região mediterrânica têm aumentado as preocupações devido a previsões de redução da precipitação e à ocorrência de períodos de seca prolongados, potencialmente afectando as comunidades humanas e a biodiversidade. Este trabalho consistiu na implementação de um modelo hidrológico na parte superior da bacia do rio Sabor, no nordeste de Portugal, para avaliar os impactos de alterações do uso do solo em processos hidrológicos, nomeadamente no caudal produzido. Esta bacia foi escolhida por representar uma paisagem de montanha em mudança numa região onde os tipos e taxas de alteração do uso do solo são conhecidos em detalhe nos últimos 50 anos. O SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) foi o modelo seleccionado para responder aos propósitos do trabalho. A implementação do modelo SWAT consistiu na recolha, preparação e desenvolvimento de uma base de dados com informação topográfica, de ocupação e uso do solo, meteorológica, dos tipos de solo e das práticas de gestão. A validação do modelo baseou-se em dados de caudal entre 1973 e 2008. Os resultados, em médias mensais, mostraram que a água produzida na bacia depende da cobertura do solo. Dos cenários testados, pode-se salientar que a substituição de área agrícola por área de matos faz aumentar a evapotranspiração e diminuir o caudal. Por outro lado, foi registado um aumento considerável do caudal quando na área, as áreas de pastagens passaram a ser dominantes. Os cenários com maior área agrícola ou de pastagem, foram os que apresentaram menor evapotranspiração. As respostas das classes de uso do solo variam ao logo do ano.

Full textThis study aims to explore the difficulties and the benefits of using Streams architectures for the simulation of hydrological events based on shallow water equations. For this purpose, is created foundation on hydrological modeling and some classes of existing models, heterogeneous architectures, and more specifically the two-dimensional model based on the equations used Saint-Venan. A timeline is constructed relating the applied optimizations beginning from the first serial model optimized for a GPU version showing each step taken in the form of an algorithm to reach the best performance. With these optimizations a speedup about 4 times was obtained for small areas and 10 times with a middle level of detailing for a large area with a high level of detailing. These results were produced comparing the GPU performance with a CPU and 24 threads version.

Full textQuesto lavoro di tesi riguarda lo studio di tecniche di assimilazione di dati basate sul metodo di Monte Carlo (MC) per la simulazione numerica di modelli idrologici in presenza di parametri stocastici. I metodi ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) e sequential importance resampling (SIR) sono implementati nel modello CATHY, un modello idrologico che accoppia il flusso d'acqua sotterraneo in mezzi porosi con la dinamica del flusso d’acqua superficiale. Il confronto dettagliato dei risultati ottenuti con i due filtri in un caso test sintetico evidenzia i principali vantaggi e inconvenienti associati a queste tecniche. Per migliorare le prestazioni del metodo SIR, in questa tesi è proposta una modifica del passo di update che risulta fondamentale nei casi in cui si usi un ensemble di dimensioni ridotte e la varianza associata all'errore di misura sia piccola. Grazie a questa modifica, entrambi i filtri sono in grado di assimilare misure di carico piezometrico e portata, riducendo la propagazione temporale di errori di modellizzazione dovuti, ad esempio, all'utilizzo di condizioni iniziali o al contorno distorte. La tecnica SIR sembra essere più adeguata dell'EnKF per l’applicazione ai casi test presentati. Si dimostra infatti che l'ipotesi di Gaussianità, che contraddistingue il metodo EnKF, non è soddisfatta in questi casi test, rendendo preferibili metodi più generali come il SIR. Ulteriori approfondimenti sono comunque necessari per stabilire l'affidabilità dei metodi di tipo particle filter, in particolare per garantire l'accuratezza del filtro SIR anche quando viene usato un numero relativamente piccolo di realizzazioni. Siccome il passo di previsione dei metodi SIR ed EnKF è basato sul metodo di MC, la seconda parte della tesi riguarda il problema di ridurre gli onerosi tempi di calcolo associati alla costruzione delle realizzazioni di MC. Con questo obbiettivo, si analizza il risparmio in tempo computazione ottenuto dall'uso di modelli di ordine ridotto (RM) per la generazione dell'ensemble delle soluzioni. La tecnica proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) è applicata alle equazioni lineari del flusso d’acqua sotterraneo in mezzi porosi saturi con ricarica stocastica e distribuita spazialmente, oppure con conducibilità idraulica stocastica e descritta per zone. Gli errori di approssimazione introdotti dal modello ridotto sul calcolo delle singole realizzazioni di MC e sulle corrispondenti statistiche sono analizzati in diversi casi test al variare della distribuzione probabilistica dei parametri stocastici. Particolare attenzione è dedicata alla procedura di calcolo delle principal components che sono necessarie per la proiezione delle equazioni del modello nello spazio ridotto. Il greedy algorithm seleziona gli snapshots tra le realizzazioni di MC considerate, facendo in modo che le principal components finali siano indipendenti dalla particolare realizzazione dei parametri stocastici. Infine, viene introdotta una stima innovativa della norma dell'errore associato alla soluzione del modello ridotto. Tale stima, basata sul calcolo del residuo, è di fondamentale importanza per stimare la precisione del RM e, quindi, inferire sul numero di principal components da usare nella riduzione. Le applicazioni numeriche effettuate su casi test sintetici e reali dimostrano che il greedy algorithm così modificato determina un numero minore di principal components rispetto al metodo tradizionale, pur mantenendo la medesima accuratezza.

The interaction between surface water and groundwater is a dynamic process in time and space influenced by factors such as soil moisture, hydrodynamic properties, geomorphology, storage and runoff. The quantification and modeling of the processes related to this dynamic constitute prerequisites for the effective water resources management, given that this interaction affects water availability, especially in semi-arid regions. Before this problem, this study aimed to simulate hydrological processes flow transmission between river and groundwater in basins characterized by distinct lithologies, inserted in the Brazilian semiarid region by generating a semi distributed and flexible hydrological model. Two distinct basins of Ceará semiarid region were monitored and used for application of the model developed. A watershed located in sedimentary structure with large underground water reserves (São Jose watershed in the sedimentary basin of Araripe - South of Ceará) and the other one inserted into the crystalline environment and characterized by water scarcity (Patos-Cariús-Iguatu subbasin - Jaguaribe river stretch in the Central-South region of Ceará). The monitoring of these areas between 2010 and 2014 enabled the generation of data and the choice of 10 events from each watershed monitored to evaluate the dynamic river-aquifer. In the evaluation of the data obtained by the monitoring observed aquifer recharges when large volumes precipitates occur in short periods of time. The high temporal spacing difficult the generation of large flows and the rising water levels of the alluvial aquifer. The proposed model was developed considering the three main processes of river-aquifer interaction: full wave propagation, vertical infiltration and groundwater flow. The simulations of the events showed that conductance of the riverbed and effective porosity are the most sensitive parameters of the model. Variations of these parameters allowed the reduction of flood peaks and consequently increases in the aquifer hydraulic loads. However, the simulations showed an underestimation of the hydraulic loads of the aquifer. For the surface discharges were obtained low efficiency ratios (-16.73 to -3.43) for short-term events and small magnitude. Already for long term events and high magnitude, the Nash and Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient performed between 0 and 1 (0.35 to 0.49), indicating a good behavior of the models used. However, for these events the average absolute error between the measured and the simulated loads remained high. The model needs to be adjusted to better define the dynamics of the river-aquifer interaction. A greater number of simulations in both watersheds, with the available events could indicate better where adjustments must be made. The possibility of application of MIRAS model in different lithological means and different spatial scales of semi-arid regions was not possible due to the inability to simulate the model for MHSJ. Thus, one must understands the failure to formulate an alternative and possibly improve the model. Because the use of this tool is the best option for resolving problems and decision making.
A interação entre água superficial e subterrânea é um processo dinâmico no tempo e no espaço influenciado por fatores como umidade do solo, propriedades hidrodinâmicas, geomorfologia, armazenamento e escoamento superficial. A quantificação e a modelagem dos processos relacionados a essa dinâmica constituem-se pré-requisitos para a gestão eficiente de bacias hidrográficas, haja vista que essa interação afeta a disponibilidade hídrica, principalmente em regiões semiáridas. Diante dessa problemática, este estudo objetivou simular processos hidrológicos de transmissão de fluxo entre rio e aquífero em bacias hidrográficas caracterizadas por litologias distintas, inseridas na região semiárida brasileira, através da geração de um modelo hidrológico semidistribuído e flexível. Duas bacias hidrográficas distintas da região semiárida cearense foram monitoradas e utilizadas para aplicação do modelo desenvolvido. Uma microbacia localizada em meio sedimentar com grandes reservas hídricas subterrâneas (microbacia hidrográfica do São José na bacia sedimentar do Araripe – Sul do Ceará) e a outra inserida no meio cristalino e caracterizada por escassez hídrica (bacia hidrográfica Patos-Cariús-Iguatu – trecho do rio Jaguaribe na região Centro-Sul do Ceará). O monitoramento dessas áreas entre 2010 e 2014 possibilitou a geração de dados e a escolha de 10 eventos de cada bacia monitorada para avaliação da dinâmica rio-aquífero. Na avaliação dos dados obtidos pelo monitoramento observou-se recargas aquíferas quando grandes volumes precipitados ocorrem em curtos espaços de tempo. O elevado espaçamento temporal dificultaram a geração de grandes vazões e a elevação dos níveis freáticos do aquífero aluvionar. O modelo proposto foi elaborado considerando os três principais processos da interação rio-aquífero: propagação de onda de cheia, infiltração vertical e fluxo subterrâneo. As simulações dos eventos mostraram que condutância do leito do rio e porosidade efetiva são os parâmetros mais sensíveis do modelo. Variações desses parâmetros possibilitaram a redução dos picos de cheia e consequentemente acréscimos nas cargas hidráulicas aquíferas. No entanto, as simulações realizadas apresentaram subestimativas das cargas hidráulicas do aquífero. Para as descargas superficiais obteve-se baixos coeficientes de eficiência (-16,73 a -3,43) para eventos de curta duração e pequena magnitude. Já para eventos de longa duração e elevada magnitude, o coeficiente de eficiência de Nash e Sutcliffe apresentou-se entre 0 e 1 (0,35 a 0,49), indicando um bom comportamento dos modelos utilizados. No entanto, para esses eventos o erro médio absoluto entre as cargas medidas e as simuladas continuaram elevados. O modelo precisa de ajustes para definir melhor a dinâmica da interação rio-aquífero. Um número maior de simulações nas duas bacias hidrográficas, com os eventos disponíveis poderia indicar melhor onde devem ser feitos os ajustes. A possibilidade de aplicação do modelo MIRAS em diferentes meios litológicos e escalas espaciais distintas de regiões semiáridas não fora possível devido à impossibilidade de simular o modelo para a MHSJ. Dessa forma, precisa-se entender as falhas para formular uma alternativa e, possivelmente, melhorar o modelo. Pois, o uso dessa ferramenta é a melhor opção para a resolução de problemas e tomada de decisão.

Full textThis research presents the numerical simulation to reproduce the transport and deposition processes of the sludge flow on March 15, 2017, strongly impacting the town of Pampapacta in Punta Hermosa-Peru.The debris flow initiation process in the basin was represented by hydrographs obtained from the estimated volumes of stormwater runoff and solid materials. The sludge flow was modeled in Flo2D to calculate hazard maps with the discharge event and others with different return periods.The numerical simulation results show acceptable results in relation to what happened. The model used to assess the hazard due to debris flow can predict and delineate, with acceptable precision, potentially hazardous areas for a landslide. The application of the proposed methodology to assess the hazard of disasters due to debris flows in basins and streams is useful to understand the extent of the impact of the mud flow during extreme weather events, as well as to develop emergency plans and formulate disaster policies.
