Floods accompanied by thunderstorms in developed cities are hazardous, causing damage to infrastructure. To secure infrastructure, it is important to employ an integrated approach, combining remote sensing, GIS and precipitation data. The model was developed based on the estimation of event-based runoff and investigated the relationship between runoff and impervious surfaces. The novel approach of combining Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System (HEC-GeoRAS) along with satellite imagery was utilized, where spatial data was combined with real-time values to run the model. As a first step, the Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) model was fed with information about precipitation, slope, soil type, as well as land use and land cover. The results reveal that the subbasins of Deira, Nief and Jumeirah have the largest impervious area and, thus, a higher probability of flood occurrence. The model was calibrated and validated using previous runoff events and by comparing observed and simulated streak flow and peak discharge against those reported in previous studies. It was found that the model is efficient and can be used in similar regions.

This study assesses the performance of the Weather Research and Forecasting-Hydrological modeling system (WRF-Hydro) in the simulation of street-scale flood inundation. The case study is the Hackensack River Watershed in New Jersey, US, which is part of the operational Stevens Flood Advisory System (SFAS), a one-way coupled hydrodynamic-hydrologic system that currently uses the Hydrologic Engineering Center's Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) to simulate streamflow. The performance of the 50-m gridded WRF-Hydro model was assessed for potential integration into the operational SFAS system.

Assessment of water availability in sub-humid regions is important due to distinct climatic and environmental conditions. In this study, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) models have been assessed in simulating streamflows in the sub-humid tropical Kabini basin in Kerala, India, spanning 1260 km. Calibration and validation utilized daily weather data from 1997 to 2015 from the Muthankera gauging station.

Rainfall is a key hydro meteorological variable. Climate change is disrupting the hydrological cycle and altering the usual cycle of rainfall, which frequently results in long-lasting storms with significant rainfall. A first step in hydrologic design of project is to determine the design storm or rainfall events to be used.

Water planning and management is very crucial for all computing sectors for water uses to maximize the scarce and allocated water uses based on their demands sustainably in Ethiopia's upper Bilate watershed. The shortage of surface water, especially during dry months, has become a major point of contention between upstream and downstream water users in the upper Bilate River. Therefore, the key objectives of the study are to evaluate the surface water resources and determine the best distribution for a range of requirements in the watershed.
