Computation of backwater effects in surface waters of tidal lowland catchments including control structures – An efficient and re-usable method implemented in the hydrological open source model Kalypso-NA (4.0)
Abstract:Abstract. Backwater effects in surface water streams as well as on adjacent lowland areas caused by mostly complex drainage structures are not directly computed with hydrological approaches, yet. A solution of this weakness in hydrological modelling is presented in this article. The developed method enables to transfer discharges into water levels and to calculate backwater volume routing along streams and adjacent lowland areas by balancing water level slopes. The implemented and evaluated method extends the … Show more
