This study modified the BTOPMC (Block-wise TOPMODEL with the Muskingum-Cunge routing method) distributed hydrological model to make it applicable to semi-arid regions by introducing an adjustment coefficient for infiltration capacity of the soil surface, and then applied it to two catchments above the dams in the Karun River basin, located in semi-arid mountain ranges in Iran. The application results indicated that the introduced modification improved the model performance for simulating flood peaks generated by infiltration excess overland runoff at a daily time scale. The modified BTOPMC was found to fulfil the need to reproduce important signatures of basin hydrology for water resource development, such as annual runoff, seasonal runoff, low flows and flood flows. However, it was also very clear that effective model use was significantly constrained by the scarcity of ground-gauged precipitation data. Considerable efforts to improve the precipitation data acquisition should precede water resource development planning.Key words BTOPMC; water resource development; infiltration excess overland runoff; snowpack and snowmelt; data scarcity; semi-arid; Karun River basin; Iran Défis de l'analyse hydrologique pour le développement des ressources en eau dans les régions montagneuses semi-arides : étude de cas en Iran Résumé Dans cette étude, nous avons modifié le modèle hydrologique distribué BTOPMC (Block-wise TOPMODEL with the Muskingum-Cunge routing method -TOPMODEL par bloc avec méthode de routage Muskingum-Cunge) pour le rendre applicable à des régions semi-arides, en introduisant un coefficient d'ajustement de la capacité d'infiltration de la surface du sol. Nous l'avons ensuite appliqué à deux bassins versants situés en amont de barrages sur le bassin de la rivière Karun, dans des zones montagneuses semiarides d'Iran. Les résultats de cette application ont indiqué que la modification introduite a amélioré la performance du modèle pour simuler les pointes de crue générées par ruissellement de surface par dépassement de la capacité d'infiltration, au pas de temps journalier. Nous avons trouvé que le modèle BTOPMC modifié répond au besoin de reproduction des signatures importantes de l'hydrologie du bassin pour le développement des ressources en eau, telles que les écoulements annuels ou saisonniers, les débits d'étiage ou de crue. Cependant, il est apparu également très clairement que l'utilisation concrète du modèle a été considérablement contrainte par la rareté des données de précipitations issues de postes au sol. Des efforts considérables devraient être faits pour améliorer l'acquisition de données de précipitations préalablement à la planification du développement de la ressource en eau.Mots clefs BTOPMC ; développement des ressources en eau ; ruissellement de surface par dépassement de la capacité d'infiltration ; manteau neigeux et fonte nivale ; rareté des données ; semi-aride ; bassin de la rivière Karun ; Iran

Simple export coefficient modeling approach was used to estimate loadings of organic matters and nutrients from both point and non point sources into Fuji River, Japan. First, we estimated the land use export coefficients of organic matters (biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand), and nutrients (nitrate nitrogen and inorganic dissolved phosphorus) specific to Fuji River basin. Semi-monthly water quality monitoring data of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (CODMn), nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) and inorganic dissolved phosphorus (PO4-P) from 8 stations, 6 years (1995-2000) stream discharge from 3 stations and land use information were used to estimate land use export coefficients using available hydrological, statistical and spatial tools. A distributed hydrological model, Blockwise use of TOPMODEL with Muskingum-Cunge routing (BTOPMC), was used to estimate discharge for those stations where continuous discharge data was not available. A seven parameter log linear model was used to estimate loadings using historical water quality concentration along with observed and estimated discharge for each sub basins. The annual, seasonal, wet/dry season, high/low flow season and monthly yield as dependent variable and land use proportion in each sub basins as independent variables were used to derive the land use export coefficients through multiple regression technique. These land use export coefficients were used to estimate the total loadings and relative contribution of point and non point source loadings of organic matters and nutrients within the basin by developing empirical source-contribution model. It was observed that forest is the dominant source of organic matters and inorganic dissolved phosphorus loadings and agriculture as the dominant source of nitrate nitrogen loadings within the basin. Whereas point source organic matters and nutrients loadings represent a much smaller portion of the overall loadings as compared to non point source loadings. Therefore this study shows that proper management practices has to bedeveloped to reduce organic matters and inorganic dissolved phosphorus loadings from forest and nitrate nitrogen loadings from agriculture to reduce current and future water quality problems in the basin.

“…Although many methods provide runoff estimation in ungauged basins (Snyder, 1938;Gray, 1961;SCS, 1986), they are limited to small basins and under specific geomorphic conditions. The renewed researches for runoff routing in ungauged areas are TOPMODEL (Beven & Kirkby, 1979;Takeuchi et al, 1999) and the geomorphic instantaneous unit hydrograph (GIUH). In the GIUH approach (Rodriguez-Iturbe & Valdes, 1979;Gupta et al, 1980), rainfall excess is assumed to follow different runoff paths to reach the basin outlet according to the drainage pattern.…”

In a typical reservoir routing problem, the givens are the inflow hydrograph and reservoir characteristic functions. Flood attenuation investigations can be easily accomplished using a hydrological or hydraulic routing of the inflow hydrograph to obtain the reservoir outflow hydrograph, unless the inflow hydrograph is unavailable. Although attempts for runoff simulation have been made in ungauged basins, there is only a limited degree of success in special cases. Those approaches are, in general, not suitable for basins with a reservoir. The objective of this study is to propose a procedure for flood attenuation estimation in ungauged reservoir basins. In this study, a kinematic-wave based geomorphic IUH model was adopted. The reservoir inflow hydrograph was generated through convolution integration using the rainfall excess and basin geomorphic information. Consequently, a fourthorder Runge-Kutta method was used to route the inflow hydrograph to obtain the reservoir outflow hydrograph without the aid of recorded flow data. Flood attenuation was estimated through the analysis of the inflow and outflow hydrographs of the reservoir. An ungauged reservoir basin in southern Taiwan is presented as an example to show the applicability of the proposed analytical procedure. The analytical results provide valuable information for downstream flood control work for different return periods.Key words reservoir routing; kinematic-wave based GIUH; Runge-Kutta method Laminage de crues de bassins versants non jaugés par un réservoir Résumé Classiquement, dans un problème de laminage par un réservoir, les données sont l'hydrogramme d'entrée et les fonctions caractéristiques du réservoir. L'étude du laminage de la crue peut être menée aisément en appliquant un transfert hydrologique ou hydraulique à l'hydrogramme d'entrée pour estimer l'hydrogramme de sortie, sauf si l'hydrogramme d'entrée est indisponible. Bien que des tentatives de simulation de débit aient été réalisées sur des bassins versants non jaugés, elles ne sont satisfaisantes que dans certains cas. Ces approches ne sont en général pas applicables à des bassins versants présentant un réservoir. L'objectif de cette étude est de proposer une procédure d'estimation du laminage de crue en bassins versants non jaugés présentant un réservoir. Nous nous sommes appuyés sur un modèle de type HUI géomorphologique à base d'onde cinématique. L'hydrogramme entrant dans le réservoir a été généré par convolution de la pluie nette et de l'information geomorphologique caractérisant le bassin versant. Puis une méthode de Runge-Kutta du quatrième ordre a été utilisée pour transférer l'hydrogramme entrant en hydrogramme sortant du réservoir, sans recours à des données observées. Le laminage a été estimé à partir de l'analyse des hydrogrammes entrant et sortant du réservoir. La procédure analytique ainsi proposée est mise en oeuvre sur un bassin versant non jaugé présentant un réservoir au sud de Taiwan. Les résultats analytiques fournissent une information pertinente pour le cont...
