“…Moreover, the HEC-HMS is selected as the appropriate protocol to conduct rainfall runoff simulation because it is widely used and freely available. The HEC-HMS model has proven reliable and applicable for many hydrological simulations (Halwatura and Najim 2013). The WASH123D model has been recently applied to several regionally significant projects, e.g., The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) and Regional Engineering Model for Ecosystem Restoration (REMER) projects.…”

The study uses weather generation models to generate future daily rainfall and temperature, and incorporates a land coverage model to simulate future land use changes. These future scenarios are then simulated by a rainfall runoff model to study their impacts on basin discharge, river, and groundwater levels. The Fengshan Creek basin in northern Taiwan is selected as test site. The RCP2.6 scenario is adopted to project future climate. The hydrological impacts, in the context of groundwater, for the near future (2020 -2039), future (2050 -2069), and distant future (2080 -2099) are discussed. Simulations indicate that the influence of climate change is more important compared to local land cover changes at our study site. Both river stage and groundwater levels are influenced under future scenarios, but seasonally rather than annually; the dry and wet seasons are amplified. The results indicate that future water resources will be scarce in the dry season and more abundant in the wet season. In addition, changes in groundwater levels for mountainous region are more significant than in the downstream flat areas.

“…Hydrologic model can be classified into three main categories which are lumped, semi-distributed and distributed models. The model uses several components to simulate the hydrological behavior of the basin [5]. These hydrological elements use mathematical functions to describe the physical processes in the watershed.…”

Abstract. The applications of computer technology to analysis of the rainfall-runoff process and the hydrological dynamics of natural rivers have greatly expanded in the past few years. A large number of general purpose programs and a few programs designed for specific application have been developed and applied to hydrologic engineering problems. This paper briefly describes the study of climate change effects on the hydrological dynamics of the Satluj and Beas river system using computer models like HEC-RTS (Hydrologic Engineering Center-Real Time Simulation). It also presents the use of real time data collection and processing on a GIS platform so as to derive a real time decision support system.

“…HEC-HMS, developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, is a conceptual semi-distributed hydrological model that has been used extensively in rainfall-runoff modeling and other related hydrological studies (Anderson et al, 2002;Neary et al, 2004;Knebl et al, 2005;Amengual et al, 2009;Chu and Steinman, 2009;Halwatura and Najim, 2013;Meenu et al, 2013;Seyoum et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2013;Yang and Yang, 2014). The model uses a number of adjustable empirically derived parameters that describe the overall structure of the basin including parameters for runoff, baseflow and river routing (Feldman, 2000).…”
