Rain garden in the Allen Centennial Gardens on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. GreenRoof: Green roofs are another variation of a bio-retention cell that have a soil layer laying atop a special drainage mat material that conveys excess percolated rainfall off of the roof. Green Roofs (also known as Vegetated Roofs) are bio ...
A record-setting 24 hours of rain in North Texas has left much of the state dealing with deadly flooding. Record-setting rainfall in Texas claims life, requires rescues and forces evacuations Skip ...
In hydrology, routing is a technique used to predict the changes in shape of a hydrograph as water moves through a river channel or a reservoir. In flood forecasting, hydrologists may want to know how a short burst of intense rain in an area upstream of a city will change as it reaches the city. Routing can be used to determine whether the ...
Normally A increases with Q and S because the higher the water level is the higher the discharge capacity becomes. The factor is therefore called Aq instead of A. The non-linear reservoir has no usable unit hydrograph. During periods without rainfall or recharge, i.e. when R = 0, the runoff equation reduces to Q2 = Q1 exp { − Aq (T2 − T1 ...

Pan evaporation is a measurement that combines or integrates the effects of several climate elements: temperature, humidity, rain fall, drought dispersion, solar radiation, and wind. Evaporation is greatest on hot, windy, dry, sunny days; and is greatly reduced when clouds block the sun and when air is cool, calm, and humid. [ 1 ]
Mark Wentzel, a hydrologist at the Texas Water Development Board, said be prepared for a wetter season. “The months of April, May, and June historically bring a lot of rainfall to our state," he ...
The river's discharge at that location depends on the rainfall on the catchment or drainage area and the inflow or outflow of groundwater to or from the area, stream modifications such as dams and irrigation diversions, as well as evaporation and evapotranspiration from the area's land and plant surfaces. In storm hydrology, an important ...
