SWAT is a continuous time model that operates on a daily time step at basin scale. The objective of such a model is to predict the long-term impacts in large basins of management and also timing of agricultural practices within a year (i.e., crop rotations, planting and harvest dates, irrigation, fertilizer, and pesticide application rates and timing).
SWMM-CAT is a utility that adds location-specific climate change adjustments to a Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) project file. Adjustments can be applied on a monthly basis to air temperature, evaporation rates, and precipitation, as well as to the 24-hour design storm at different recurrence intervals.
In this context, flood forecasting models are designed to predict when the water level or discharge will surpass a predefined threshold, usually based on historical data and established risk levels. On the other hand, more comprehensive flood forecasting methods involve predicting the flood extent by utilizing hydrodynamic information from models.
Sinkholes can range in size from a few feet wide to hundreds of acres, and anywhere from 1 to 100 feet or more deep. Sinkholes can swallow up cars, parts of roads and even houses.
The sinkhole opened Friday near the site of another sinkhole in June, on land being developed. It has been monitored by Polk County. Lakeland sinkhole off Scott Lake Road 'active but stable ...
A hydrologic model is a simplification of a real-world system (e.g., surface water, soil water, wetland, groundwater, estuary) that aids in understanding, predicting, and managing water resources. Both the flow and quality of water are commonly studied using hydrologic models.
Lake Nyos, the site of a limnic eruption in 1986. A limnic eruption, also known as a lake overturn, is a very rare type of natural hazard in which dissolved carbon dioxide (CO 2) suddenly erupts from deep lake waters, forming a gas cloud capable of asphyxiating wildlife, livestock, and humans.
Sinkholes filled with water, also known as blue holes, completely surround the island nation of The Bahamas, and now OceanGate’s co-founder wants to explore the deepest of them all ...
