Development of Rainfall-Runoff Model Using Tank Model: Problems and Challenges in Province of Aceh, Indonesia
Aceh International Journal of Science and Technology, 2 (1): 26-36 April 2013 ISSN: 2088-9860 REVIEW Development of Rainfall-runoff Model Using Tank Model: Problems and Challenges in Province of Aceh, Indonesia Hairul Basri Faculty of Agriculture, Syiah Kuala University, Banda Aceh 23111, Indonesia Corresponding author: Email: [email protected] Abtstract - Rainfall-runoff model using tank model founded by Sugawara has been widely used in Asia. Many researchers use the tank model to predict water availability and flooding in a watershed. This paper describes the concept of rainfall-runoff model using tank model, discuss the problems and challenges in using of the model, especially in Province of Aceh, Indonesia and how to improve the outcome of simulation of tank model. Many factors affect the rainfall-runoff phenomena of a wide range of watershed include: soil types, land use types, rainfall, morphometry, geology and geomorphology, caused the tank model usefull only for concerning watershed. It is necessary to adjust some parameters of tank model for other watershed by recalibrating the parameters of the model. Rainfall runoff model using the tank model for a watershed scale is more reasonable focused on each sub-watershed by considering soil types, land use types and rainfall of the concerning watershed. Land use data can be enhanced by using landsat imagery or aerial photographs to support the validation the existing of land use type. Long term of observed discharges and rainfall data should be increased by set up the AWLR (Automatic Water Level Recorder) and rainfall stations for each of sub-watersheds. The reasonable tank model can be resulted not only by calibrating the parameters, but also by considering the observed and simulated infiltration for each soil and land use types of the concerning watershed. -

2010 Stanly County Land Use Plan
STANLY COUNTY SECTION 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE STANLY COUNTY LAND USE PLAN Introduction to the Final Report This revision of the Land Use Plan for Stanly County updates the 2002 Land Use Analysis and Development Plan that was prepared for the Board of Commissioners by the County Planning Board and County Planning Department. While the 1977 and 2002 plans provided an adequate planning and infrastructure decision-making tool for county officials and the public, changes in county development patterns necessitate an update. Stanly County and the rest of the Yadkin-Pee Dee Lakes region have a reputation as a place of wonderful natural beauty, from the lakes and rivers of eastern Stanly County, to the “rolling Kansas” district of Millingport, to the Uwharrie Mountains near Morrow Mountain State Park. The steady rise in population over the years verifies Stanly County’s livability and reputation as an excellent place to live, work, and play. The county remains one of the leading agricultural counties in North Carolina. The agricultural economy was for decades augmented by a strong industrial sector based on the textile and aluminum industries, among others. In addition, tourism has emerged as an important industry for the county. Today Stanly County lies at the edge of the growing Charlotte metropolitan region, a region that now extends into Cabarrus and Union Counties, both of which share Stanly County’s western border. While indications are already apparent that parts of western Stanly County are experiencing increased development activity, it is expected that major infrastructure projects— among them the completion of the eastern leg of the Interstate 485 Charlotte by-pass, and the widening of NC 24/27 to four lanes from the county line to Albemarle—will speed the rate of development and growth in the county. -

Irrigation Influence on Catchment Hydrology Modelling with Advanced Hydroinformatic Tools
Research Journal of Agricultural Science, 48 (1), 2016 IRRIGATION INFLUENCE ON CATCHMENT HYDROLOGY MODELLING WITH ADVANCED HYDROINFORMATIC TOOLS Erika BEILICCI, R. BEILICCI Politechnica University Timisoara, Department of Hydrotechnical Engineering George Enescu str. 1/A, Timisoara, [email protected] Abstract: Agriculture is a significant user of water resources in Europe, accounting for around 30 per cent of total water use. Because water is essential to plant growth, irrigation is essentially to overcome deficiencies in rainfall for growing crops. Irrigation is a basic determinant of agriculture because its inadequacies are the most powerful constraints on the increase of agricultural production. Irrigation was recognized for its protective role of insurance against the vagaries of rainfall and drought. But the irrigation, besides the positive effects, has a significant environmental impact. The environmental impacts of irrigation are variable and not well-documented; some environmental impacts can be very severe. The main types of environmental impact arising from irrigation appear to be: water pollution from nutrients and pesticides; damage to habitats and aquifer exhaustion by abstraction of irrigation water; intensive forms of irrigated agriculture displacing formerly high value semi-natural ecosystems; gains to biodiversity and landscape from certain traditional or ‘leaky’ irrigation systems in some localized areas; increased erosion of cultivated soils on slopes; salinization, or contamination of water by minerals, of groundwater sources; both negative and positive effects of large scale water transfers, associated with irrigation projects. Minor irrigation schemes within a catchment will normally have negligible influence on the catchment hydrology, unless transfer of water over catchment boundaries is involved. Large irrigation schemes may significantly affect the runoff and the groundwater recharge through local increases in evapotranspiration and infiltration as well as through operational and field losses. -

Solver for Hydrologic Unstructured Domain (SHUD): Numerical modeling of watershed hydrology with the finite volume method Lele Shu1, Paul Ullrich1, and Christopher Duffy2 1Department of Land, Air, and Water Resources, University of California, Davis, Davis, California 95616, USA 2Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802, USA Correspondence: Lele Shu ([email protected]) Abstract. Hydrological modeling is an essential strategy for understanding natural flows, particularly where observations are lacking in either space or time, or where topographic roughness leads to a disconnect in the characteristic timescales of overland and groundwater flow. Consequently, significant opportunities remain for the development of extensible modeling systems that operate robustly across regions. Towards the development of such a robust hydrological modeling system, this 5 paper introduces the Solver for Hydrological Unstructured Domain (SHUD), an integrated multi-process, multi-scale, multi- timestep hydrological model, in which hydrological processes are fully coupled using the Finite Volume Method. The SHUD integrates overland flow, snow accumulation/melting, evapotranspiration, subsurface and groundwater flow, and river routing, while realistically capturing the physical processes in a watershed. The SHUD incorporates one-dimension unsaturated flow, two-dimension groundwater flow, and river channels connected with hillslopes via overland flow and baseflow. 10 This paper introduces the design of SHUD, from the conceptual and mathematical description of hydrological processes in a watershed to computational structures. To demonstrate and validate the model performance, we employ three hydrolog- ical experiments: the V-Catchment experiment, Vauclin’s experiment, and a study of the Cache Creek Watershed in northern California, USA. -

Joseph Hyde Fratt, State Geologist LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Chapel Hill, N. C., May 22, 1918. To his Excellency, Honorable Thomas W. Bickett, Governor of North Carolina. Sir:—The protection of our forests from fire is generally recognized and urged as a necessary war measure, as well as an essential step towards safeguarding our Nation's future welfare. Owing to the lack of a State appropriation for carrying out the provisions of the forestry law of 1915, education and publicity are prac- tically the only weapons left to the Survey with which to fight this common menace. A report on the destruction to property in this State by forest fires during the past three years, as reported by correspondents in the various townships, together with a sketch of what has been done to combat this evil, should go far in convincing the people of North Carolina that stronger and more effective measures are a vital necessity. I, therefore, submit herewith, for publication as Economic Paper No. 48 of the Reports of the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey, a report on the Forest Fires in North Carolina During 1915, 1916, and 1911 , and the Present Status of Forest Fire Prevention in North Carolina. -
