Rainfall-Runoff Analysis and Modeling

Rainfall-runoff analysis and modeling is
concerned with the physical processes that occur within a catchment and lead to the transformation of rainfall into stream runoff: (1) Rainfall Hyetograph: Time-series of rainfall in a catchment. (2) Streamflow Hydrograph: Time-series of stream discharge at catchment outlet.

The transformation between rainfall and streamflow is known as rainfall-runoff analysis or modeling
It is typically complex and site dependant according to the characteristics of the land surface, vegetation, stream channel and human infrastructure (flood control, irrigation, dams, roads, etc). The rainfall-runoff transformation is considered to be: (a) non-linear, (b) scale-dependant, (c) sitespecific and (d) complex.

The rainfall-runoff transformation is the reflection of: 1. Excess rainfall input 2. A complex transfer function catchment characteristics 3. Event runoff output determined by
Dr. Sameer Shadeed

Streamflow
is spatially variable, as determined by:
and
temporally
1. Spatial and temporal variation of rainfall input 2. Travel time across hillslope pathways determined by surface topography, soils, vegetation cover, geology 3. Travel time through the channel network determined by length, cross sectional area, flow resistance and surface-groundwater interactions
Rainfall-Runoff (Hydrological Models)

The rainfall-runoff model is a hydrological model that
determines the runoff signal that leaves the catchment from the rainfall signal received by this catchment. The tasks for which rainfall-runoff models are used are varied 1. Modeling existing catchments for which input-output data exist 2. Runoff estimation on ungauged catchments 3. Prediction of effects of catchment change e.g. land use change, climate change 4. Coupled hydrology and geochemistry e.g. nutrients, acid rain 5. Coupled hydrology and meteorology e.g. global climate models
Classification of Hydrological Models

Hydrological Models
Deterministic
Stochastic
Lumped
Semi-distributed
Distributed
Space-independent
Space-correlated
Empirical
Conceptual
Physically-based
Dr. Sameer Shadeed

(1) Stochastic or deterministic model: models that always provide the same result for a given set of parameters are deterministic. If the model accounts of uncertainty in these quantities and provides a measure of the distribution of possible outcomes, it is stochastic.

(2) Lumped or distributed model: models that treat the entire catchment as a single unit are lumped, while distributed models discretize a domain into small elements. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages.
Dr. Sameer Shadeed

(3) Conceptual or physically-based model: a conceptual model relies on storage volumes and fluxes that may only represent the catchment response and have parameters that cannot be associated to measurements. Physically-based models attempt to parameterize processes using equations for which parameter values can be readily measured.

Lumped models Parameters do not vary in space Low data requirements Limited physical representation Semi-distributed models Parameters partially vary in space Compromise (input data - complexity) Distributed models Parameters fully vary in space Most advanced approach, high accuracy Data extensive modeling

Event-process models Designed to simulate individual events Emphasis on infiltration and surface runoff Peak discharge and volume Continuous-process models Designed for long-term simulations Emphasis on all hydrologic processes Drought and water balance

Selection of Hydrological Models

General guidelines for model selection:
1. Ease of use: skill required, ease of interpreting results, assumption required by model. 2. Availability of data: ability to use readily available data, ability to handle small and variable time increments, data accuracy and data resolution. 3. Availability of models: cost to operate in terms of computing time and hardware system. 4. Application to management activities: number of parameters predicted, sensitivity to change in management activities. 5. Broad regional coverage: ability of a model to operate in various hydrological areas, extrapolation of model. 6. Accuracy of prediction: ability to predict relative change and absolute effects needed to calibrate model, repeatability of model predictions, error between actual and predicted values for volumes.

HEC-HMS
The Hydrologic Engineering Centers (HEC) Hydrologic Modeling System (HMS)

Dr. Sameer Shadeed
HEC-HMS
The Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC HEC-HMS) is designed to simulate the rainfall-runoff processes of dendritic watershed systems. It is designed to be applicable in a wide range of geographic areas for solving the widest possible range of problems. This includes large river basin water supply and flood hydrology, and small urban or natural watershed runoff. Hydrographs produced by the program are used directly or in conjunction with other software for studies of water availability, urban drainage, flow forecasting, future urbanization impact, reservoir spillway design, flood damage reduction, floodplain regulation, and systems operation.
HEC-HMS
The program is a generalized modeling system capable of representing many different watersheds. A model of the watershed is constructed by separating the hydrologic cycle into manageable pieces and constructing boundaries around the watershed of interest. Any mass or energy flux in the cycle can then be represented with a mathematical model. In most cases, several model choices are available for representing each flux. Each mathematical model included in the program is suitable in different environments and under different conditions. Making the correct choice requires knowledge of the watershed, the goals of the hydrologic study, and engineering judgment.
HEC-HMS
The program features a completely integrated
work environment including a database, data entry utilities, computation engine, and results reporting tools. A graphical user interface allows the seamless movement between the different parts of the program. Program functionality and appearance are the same across all supported platforms.
Uses of the HEC-HMS

Models the rainfall-runoff process in a catchment based on catchment physiographic data
Offers a variety of modeling options in order to compute UH for basin areas Offers a variety of options for flood routing along streams Capable of estimating parameters for calibration of each basin based on comparison of computed data to observed data
HEC-HMS (Features)
HEC-HMS is comprised of
a graphical user interface (GUI), integrated hydrologic analysis components, data storage and management capabilities, and graphics and reporting facilities The Data Storage System, HEC-DSS, is used for storage and retrieval of time series, paired-function, and gridded data, in a manner largely transparent to the user
HEC-HMS (Components)
HEC HEC-HMS model components are used to simulate the hydrologic response in a catchment HMS model components include basin model, meteorologic models, control specifications, and input data A simulation calculates the rainfall-runoff response in basin model given input from the meteorologic model The control specifications define the time period and time step of the simulation run Input data components, such as time series data, paired data, and grided data are often requied as parameter or boundary conditions in basin and meteorologic models

Developing an HMS Project

To develop a hydrologic model, the user must complete the
following steps: 1. Create a new project. 2. Input time series, paired, and gridded data needed by the basin or meteorologic model. 3. Define the physical characteristics of the catchment by creating and editing a basin model. 4. Select a method for calculating subbasin precipitation and enter required information. Evapotranspiration and snow melt information are also entered at this step if required. 5. Define the control specifications. 6. Combine a basin model, meteorologic model, and control specifications to create a simulation. 7. View the results and modify the basin model, meteorologic model, or control specifications as needed.
Example 5-1
A small undeveloped watershed has the parameters listed in the following tables. A unit hydrograph and Muskingum routing coefficients are known for subbasin 3, shown in Fig. E5.1(a). TC and R values for subbasins 1 and 2 and associated SCS curve numbers (CN) are provided as shown. A 5-hr rainfall hyetograph in in./hr is shown in Fig. E5.1(b) for a storm event that occurred on June 19, 1983. Assume that the rain fell uniformly over the watershed.

Sensitivity Analysis and Uncertainty Assessments

In order to assess the coupled TRAIN-ZIN model sensitivity to different parameters uncertainties, a series of sensitivity analyses were undertaken

Scenario Modeling Impacts of Land Use Change (1/3)
Scenario 1: Urbanization, the simulated runoff response to an increase in built-up areas of 10% and 50% respectively was obtained
95
Dr. Sameer Shadeed

Scenario 2: Land reclamation, it is a common practice nowadays in the upper Faria catchment (mainly in Al-Faria subcatchment) that farmers in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture are changing the cover to grassed land agriculture areas
96
Dr. Sameer Shadeed

Scenario 3:
Extensions of the scattered and poorly managed olive areas to more dense and well managed olive areas. As a result the generated runoff expected to decrease due to management practices that enhance the soil infiltratibility (e.g. ploughing, soil tillage and terraces)
97
Dr. Sameer Shadeed
Scenario Modeling Impacts of Climate Change (1/3)

Peer and Safriel (2000) summarized the currently most likely climate scenarios for the region Scenario 1: By 2020, mean temperature will increase of 0.3-0.4oC and reduction in precipitation by 2% to 1% Scenario 2: By 2050, mean temperature will increase of 0.7-0.8oC and reduction in precipitation by 4 % to 2%
98
Dr. Sameer Shadeed

Under the GLOWA-JR project, climate simulations for the Near East and the Jordan River Region were studied The climatic scenarios are based on the IPCC A1B and A2 emissions scenarios and two different GCMs were used: Scenario 3 (A1B): By 2021-50, mean temperature will increase 1-1.25oC and reduction in mean annual precipitation by (0 - 50 mm) Scenario 4 (A2): By 2021-50, mean temperature will increase 1.75-2oC and increase in mean annual precipitation by (50 -100 mm)

Management Options Surface Water Assessment

available volume of streamflow that lost in winter season, downstream is 4 MCM The annual obtainable water resources are estimated at about 19 MCM The annual water demands (agricultural and domestic) are estimated at about 21 MCM Resulting in a deficit of 2 MCM between supply and demand

Management Options Urban Rainwater Harvesting System
Assuming that the rooftops runoff represents about 50% of the generated built-up areas runoff and a consumption rate of 70 liters/capita/day Rainwater harvesting from rooftops can fulfill the domestic demands for nearly 24,000 inhabitants for more than 4 months from May to September when the water resources are very limited
Management Options Rural Rainwater Harvesting System
Although the catchment areas of the proposed cisterns accounts only for 15% of the entire catchment, the flood generation out of these areas are 30% and 62% for event 1 and event 2
Management Options Spring Water Harvesting

No pumping is required More than 14 MCM/year available without cost The water is fresh and free from pollution It is proposed to build a deep enough box into a hillside of the spring mouth to access the spring water source This box allows water to enter from the bottom and fill up to a certain level depending upon the spring yield and the filling time of the box
Management Options Construction of Irrigation Ponds

Irrigation pond is proposed to be built for each farm along the water course to collect the streamflow for irrigation use
106
Dr. Sameer Shadeed
Management Options Wastewater Treatment and Reuse in Agriculture

About 1.5 MCM/year of wastewater effluent from Nablus city is discharged to the streams and mixes with the fresh surface water without any treatment It is proposed to construct a wastewater treatment plant to stop this increasing threat and to use the treated effluent for agricultural purposes The reuse of treated wastewater for agricultural purposes in the Faria catchment can be used as strategy to release the spring fresh water for domestic use and to improve the quality of stream water to reduce the environmental degradation in the catchment
Management Options Outstanding Challenges

1. The sustainability of water resources management in the Faria catchment is being challenged by five important factors: Technical because our scientific understanding of the physical phenomena of rainfall, runoff, evapotranspiration, seepage, sediment transport and flooding are still insufficient Financial because the existing water resources are poorly managed and the demands of the growing population are urgent Environmental because of declining water quality and increased urban and agricultural pollution Institutional and legal because of weak regulatory and legal framework required to implement policies efficiently regarding allocation, management and pollution of water resources in the Faria catchment Political because the political situation in the region is very complicated and constrains the development of water resources management in the catchment

Management Options To Summarize

More efforts are needed to manage and save water to shape a better future of the Palestinian Kids
Therefore, It is necessary to go beyond the basic research and undertake demonstration projects for possible application of the proposed management options in the Faria catchment
Conclusions (1/2)
Three years of monitoring rainfall and runoff combined with field campaigns are considered to be the cornerstones for the success of this study
The main research question that was addressed by this PhD research study what is the best hydrological model that can be used to assess the active runoff generation process in arid and semi-arid regions (IEOF and/or SEOF) was answered
Despite difficulties, limitations and uncertainties associated with obtaining observations and measured parameters, this study ended-up with optimistic results for the simulation of single events and entire seasons in continuous mode
Conclusions (2/2)
Rainfall characteristics (mainly the rainfall intensity) and the initial soil moisture content are the main parameter that controlled the runoff generation processes (IEOF and/or SEOF) that took place in the Faria catchment The seasonal water balance which cab be obtained out of the coupled TRAIN-ZIN model is the main input for sustainable water resources management in the Faria catchment The results of this research study show that the impacts of land use and climate changes on runoff behavior are eventdependent and that event characteristics (intensities and duration) as well as the initial soil moisture content should be identified for different scenarios
