Regionalização automatizada de parâmetros de modelos chuva-vazão integrada a um sistema de informações geográficas

No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 7934601 bytes, checksum: 83089393956abb6b7fa32c5295791684 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-03-30 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / A major difficulty for studies of small hydrological watersheds is the lack of good quality time series of hydrologic data, mainly because the flow rates in small watersheds are not monitored. Another important issue is that available rainfall runoff models are almost always developed focusing on watersheds of medium and large scale. Regionalization studies have become an important tool to attempt to overcome these limitations. Suitable in most of the hydrological studies is the regionalization of rainfall runoff-model parameters by using specific characteristics of a watershed. A tool was developed in a Geographic Information System which automatically gets the physical characteristics of watersheds from a digital elevation model by selecting the outlet and then generating the rainfall runoff model parameters with neural networks. This study uses data from small dams in the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil. The developed methodology is applied using target watersheds for the parameter estimation. The results show that the developed tool can be very useful for rainfall runoff estimation in small watersheds. / Uma das maiores dificuldades para os estudos de pequenas bacias hidrográficas é a falta de séries históricas de dados hidrológicos, principalmente porque a fluviometria em pequenas bacias hidrográficas não é monitorada. Outra questão importante é que, os modelos chuva-vazão disponíveis quase sempre são desenvolvidos com foco em bacias de médio e grande porte. Estudos de regionalização se tornaram uma ferramenta importante para tentar superar essas limitações. A regionalização de parâmetros de modelos chuva-vazão, usando características específicas das bacias hidrográficas, é adequada para a maioria dos estudos hidrológicos. Uma ferramenta foi desenvolvida em um Sistema de Informação Geográfica, que determina automaticamente as características físicas das bacias hidrográficas a partir de um modelo digital de elevação, e, em seguida, gera os parâmetros do modelo chuva-vazão com redes neurais artificiais. Este trabalho usa dados de pequenas barragens na região semiárida do Nordeste do Brasil. A metodologia desenvolvida é aplicada e avaliada utilizando também o método da bacia meta para a estimativa dos parâmetros. Os resultados mostram que a ferramenta desenvolvida pode ser muito útil para o estudo da relação chuva-vazão em bacias hidrográficas de pequeno porte.

A combined field data and empirical modeling approach to precipitation-runoff analysis in an agro-forested Prairie watershed

Petzold, Halya 04 June 2015 (has links)
Low relief, heavily human-impacted landscapes like those of the Prairies in south-central Canada have received little attention in previous hydrological research. Here, the rainfall-runoff relationship in the context of both a field-based investigation and an empirical model is examined in an effort to provide insight into Prairie hydrology. Rainfall and water level data were collected for nested sub-watersheds of the Catfish Creek watershed, a 642 km2, near-level, mixed land use and engineered Prairie watershed. First, the dataset is examined for runoff controls. Second, the history of the United States Curve Number Method is reviewed and its initial abstraction ratio examined against collected field data to determine the applicability of a single, constant ratio to Prairie landscapes. Overall, the results indicate that Prairie runoff generation processes differ significantly from those of humid, pristine catchments of higher relief and a conceptual model is proposed with that regards.
