Hydrologic Response of Alternative Valley Fill Reclamation Designs
… MTM reclamation techniques increase stormflow response of the affected watersheds when compared to the original, undisturbed conditions. One method that has shown success in reclaiming surface mine sites in semi-arid regions of the western U.S. is geomorphic landform design. Geomorphic …

Hydrologic Response to Prescribed Burning in the Flint Hills, Kansas
… prescribed burning on crucial parameters of the hydrologic cycle in the Flint Hills region of Kansas. The study introduces the VELAS model, which employs a daily soil water balance component, providing a more comprehensive simulation of moisture changes. The analysis of the Flint Hills' daily …

Hydrologic Response to Conifer Removal from an Encroached Mountain Meadow
… there is little research that quantifies the hydrologic response to removal of conifers encroaching meadows in terms of implicating successful meadow restoration. This study has implemented a before after control intervention (BACI) study design to determine the hydrologic response associated …

Hydrologic Response to Conifer Removal and Upslope Harvest in an Encroached Montane Meadow
… larger river watersheds because of their unique hydrologic and ecological functions. Due to climate change, over grazing, and fire suppression, conifer encroachment into meadows has accelerated. In some western regions, nearly half of all meadow habitat has been loss due to conifer encroachment. …

Hydrologic Response Caused by Wetland Expansion at Huntley Meadows Park in Hybla Valley, Virginia
… monitoring instruments making observations of hydrologic and weather data, along with soils maps and soil borings, and observations of vegetation provided by scientists from Virginia Tech. Data from these sources were used to characterize the hydrologic drivers and responses throughout the area …

Integrated Numerical Modeling of Spatial and Time-Variant Hydrologic Response in Subsurface Drained Watersheds
… macropore flow resulted in higher magnitudes of response and better agreement with observed data, compared to simulations that considered sorptive flow alone. Simulations also showed that drain responses were in better agreement with observed flows during low rainfall, as compared to high …

Spatiotemporal variability of hydrologic response : an entropy-based approach using a distributed hydrologic model
Basin hydrologic response pertains to the partitioning of precipitation into stream-flow, evapotranspiration, and change in storage. The ability to explain or predict the response has many applications e.g. flood forecasting, water budget studies, and design of hydrological observing systems. …

A model to define hydrologic response units based on characteristics of the soil-vegetative complex within a drainage basin
… units that respond similarly. These were defined hydrologic response units and were a funtion of soil texture, soil depth, land use, and hydrology group classification. A computer model was developed to generate excess precipitation for each hydrologic response unit based on the Mein and Larson …

Evaluating Five Years of Soil Hydrologic Response Following the 2009 Lockheed Fire in the Coastal Santa Cruz Mountains of California
… region presented an opportunity for studying the hydrologic response of burned soils in the Santa Cruz Mountains where there is insufficient post-fire studies regarding fire-effects on watershed processes such as infiltration and near-surface runoff. Soil infiltration and soil water repellency …

Improved understanding and prediction of the hydrologic response of highly urbanized catchments through development of the Illinois urban hydrologic model (IUHM)
… must ask themselves when trying to integrate the hydrologic and hydraulic processes that affect the hydrologic response of urban catchments. The Illinois Urban Hydrologic Model (IUHM) has been developed to help answer this question and improve understanding and prediction of hydrologic response in …

Evaluation of climate change impacts on the hydrologic response of a sparsely-monitored basin in Sardinia, Italy, through distributed hydrologic simulations and hydrometeorological downscaling
The water resources and hydrologic extremes in Mediterranean basins are heavily influenced by climate variability. Modeling these watersheds is difficult due to the complex nature of the hydrologic response as well as the sparseness of hydrometeorological observations. In this work, we first …

Exploring the response of urban storm sewer system to the implementation of green roofs
… about the effect of BMP implementation on the hydrologic response of urban watersheds has become a hot topic. Green roofs, which have been reported as an effective means of reducing urban storm water runoff, have been widely used in Europe and are gaining increasing attention in the US. This …

Quantifying the impacts of climate and land use changes on the hydrological response of a monsoonal catchment
… flooding has received great attention in many hydrological modelling studies. However, currently many hydrologists are still uncertain how much these two factors contribute to runoff generation, particularly in monsoon catchments. The river Kelantan is in one of the states in Malaysia, which …

Flow Dynamics in Large River Basins: Self -Similar Network Structure and Scale Effects
The hydrologic response of a basin is shaped by the non-linear interaction between runoff generation, river-network geomorphology and the hydrodynamics of channel flow. In this research, the processes which contribute to the variance of the network hydrologic response are investigated by coupling …

A spatially responsive catchment model for predicting stormwater runoff from ungaged watersheds
… this concept the watershed was discretized into hydrologic response units (HRU's) based on soil mapping units and landuse to improve estimates of rainfall excess. The watershed's topography and drainage patterns were used to define finite elements to improve the accuracy of flow routing. These …

A Study of Geomorphologic Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph
… hydrograph model is developed to represent the hydrologic response of a drainage basin. The geomorphologic structure of a drainage basin is constructed according to Strahler's stream ordering system. The effective rainfall is transformed to direct runoff by using the geomorphologic instantaneous …
