Surface RunoffWater flow that occurs when the soil is infiltrated to
full capacity and excess water from rain, meltwater, or other sources flows over the land (wikipedia).
Modeling
• Watershed runoff must be predicted to provide the information for certain activities:• Increased volume of runoff for proposed changes to land
use in a watershed.
• A model relates something unknown (the output) to something known (the input).
Modeling Systems
• Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS)• 2013
• EPA’s Storm Water Management Model (SWMM)• 2011
• Overland flow diffusion wave model• 2013
HEC-HMS
• US Army Corps of Engineers• Four versions since HEC-1 • Version 1: Graphical user interface.• Version 2: Continuous simulation.• Version 3: New computational features and graphical user
interface.• Snowmelt, evapotranspiration, infiltration, data management,
increase user efficiency.
• Version 4: New computation features.• Surface erosion and channel sediment transport• Nutrient water quality simulation
HEC-HMS
• Kinematic wave
• Lag
• Modified PuIs
• Muskingum
• Muskingum-Cunge Standard Section
• Muskingum-Cunge 8-point Section Confluence
• Bifurcation
Routing Models
EPA SWMM
• Routing models • Steady flow• Kinematic wave• Dynamic wave
EPA SWMM
• Steady Flow: Instantaneous translation of a hydrograph with no time delay or change in shape due to conduit storage.
• Kinematic Wave: Efficient but simplified approach that cannot deal with backwater effects, pressurized flow, flow reversal, and non-dendritic layouts. Numerical stability attained with moderately large time steps, on the order of 5 to 15 minutes
• Dynamic Wave: Can represent these conditions. However, the procedure requires more computation time, due to the need for smaller time steps to maintain numerical stability.
Overland flow diffusion wave model
Simulates catchment dynamics using the diffusion wave model developed by Ponce (1986). The program is a numerical model of overland flow using an open-book schematization.
• Outflow hydrograph does not vary with the choice of grid size.• Physical diffusivity of Hayami:
• Numerical diffusivity of Cunge:
• Cell Reynolds number:

Overland flow diffusion wave model
• Diffusion wave with dynamic components• Dynamic hydraulic diffusivity:
• Numerical dispersion is minimized by setting the Courant number C equal to 1:

Further Studies
• Run HEC-HMS and SWMM.
• Run the runoff simulation models with the data used in Overland flow of diffusion wave model.
• Compare the results.
