Abstract:
The importance of understanding the effects of rainfall on different materials over time makes it essential to carry out controlled tests to reduce analysis time. Rainfall simulators have been in use for decades and have been implemented as technology and knowledge of the physical behavior of water advanced. There are two main types of rainfall simulators: gravity simulators and pressure simulators. In the former, the drop velocity is normally smaller than the terminal velocity reached by natural droplets; in the latter, the drop size is too small to be representative and has far more speed th

Abstract:
Dripping rainfall simulators are important instruments in soil research. However, a large number of non-standardized simulators have been developed, making it difficult to combine and compare the results of different studies in which they were used. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to become familiar with the design and performances of the current rainfall simulators. A search has been conducted for scientific papers describing dripping rainfall simulators (DRS) and papers that are thematically related to the soil research using DRS. Simulator design analysis was performed integrally,

Abstract:
Rainfall simulation technique is used worldwide to identify and assess the nature and pattern of rainfall occurring in any particular area and its impact on the soil taking into consideration the various climatic and topographical factors. Whenever rainfall occurs heavily, it generates some unwanted physiographical processes such as high run-off, flood, soil erosion of different forms, landslides, etc. thereby redistributing the soil far from its original placement and sometimes rearranging the land topography to a large extent. Due to occurrence of flood, crops in agricultural fields get dama

Abstract:
Interpreting soil loss from rainfall simulators is complicated by the uncertain relationship between simulated and natural rainstorms. Our objective was to develop and test a method for estimating soil loss from natural rainfall using a portable rainfall simulator (1 m2 plot size). Soil loss from 12 rainstorms was measured on 144-m2 plots with barley residue in conventional tillage (CT), reduced tillage (RT) and zero tillage (ZT) conditions. A corresponding "simulated" soil loss was calculated by matching the simulator erosivity to each storm's erosivity. High (140 mm h−1) and low (60 mm h−1)

Rainfall simulation is widely used in the laboratory and in field work to produce artificial rainfall for small-scale surface hydrology and soil erosion studies. Simulated rainfall produced by simulators must be predictable, accurate and consistent to be useful to model the related physical processes. Pressure fluctuations in the water supply system frequently cause variation in rainfall intensity during simulated events. This study describes a hydraulic system that is attached to the outlet (nozzle) of a rainfall simulator to ensure constant pressure and discharge, which consequently facilita

Abstract:
AbstractExperimental studies of flash floods require rainfall simulations. For this reason, various rainfall simulators have been designed, built, and employed in previous studies. These previous rainfall simulators have provided good simulations of constant rainfall intensities; however, these simulators cannot generate temporally varied rainstorms. Thus, the effect of the temporal distribution of a rainstorm on flash flooding cannot be studied using current rainfall simulators. To achieve accurate and reliable results in flash flood studies, simulating rainstorms that are similar to natural precipitation events is essential, and natural rainfall varies temporally. Thus, a rainstorm simulator was designed and built using cascading tanks to generate rainstorm hyetographs that cannot be obtained using traditional rainfall simulators. The result of the rainstorm generated by the proposed instrument and its numerical model showed that the instrument can simulate the temporal distributions of rainstorms with an accuracy of 95 percent. Consequently, the proposed instrument and its numerical model can be applied for generating artificial rainstorm hyetographs in experimental and field studies of flash floods.

Abstract:
AbstractHeavy rainfall often causes devastating landslides. Early warning based on reliable rainfall prediction can help reduce human and economic damages. This paper describes a recent development of reliable high-resolution prediction of orographic (topographic) rainfall using our next-generation numerical weather prediction model, the Multi-Scale Simulator for the Geoenvironment (MSSG). High-resolution computing is required for reliable rainfall prediction, and the MSSG can run with very high resolutions. Robust cloud microphysics is another key to realizing reliable predictions of orographic clouds, where the atmospheric boundary turbulence can affect. This paper clarifies that in-cloud turbulence can enhance cloud development. The recent cloud microphysics model that can consider turbulence enhancement is newly implemented in the MSSG. The emerging machine-learning technology is also coupled with the MSSG for reliable operational predictions. We show the recent development towards reliable predictions of orographic rainfall for realizing early warning of landslides.

Abstract:
AbstractIn Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, groundwater from the alluvial aquifer in Wadi Bih was the only source of freshwater for various uses prior to the construction of a seawater desalination plant in 1998. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the Wadi Bih dam on groundwater resources and to increase knowledge of the hydrodynamics of the aquifer. A local-scale numerical groundwater flow model was developed and used to investigate the impacts of different groundwater management options on groundwater resources. The calibrated and validated model was defined as the base case, and subsequently, simulations were performed to analyze different management scenarios. The simulations indicated that maximum recharge occurred during years of high rainfall (1995–1998). Minimum recharge occurred in 2000, 2002, and 2004. The major contribution to the water balance was from subsurface inflows from the upper wadi zone and the two tributaries. Overall, the annual water balance was negative in most years, with an average net decline of 0.6 MCM per year, indicating a slow but continuous depletion of groundwater resources. At the end of the simulation, the total groundwater recharge due to rainfall and water storage in the ponding area was 9.81 MCM.

Abstract:
AbstractIt is commonly accepted that the Earth’s climate is changing and will continue to change in the future. Rising temperatures are one of the direct indicators of global climate change. To investigate how the rising global temperature will affect the spatial pattern of rainfall in West Africa, the precipitation and potential evapotranspiration variables from ten Global Climate Models (GCMs) under the RCP8.5 scenario were driven by the Rossby Centre regional atmospheric model (RCA4) from the COordinated Regional Climate Downscaling EXperiment (CORDEX) and analyzed at four specific global warming levels (GWLs) (i.e., 1.5 °C, 2.0 °C, 2.5 °C, and 3.0 °C) above the preindustrial level. This study utilized three indices, the precipitation concentration index (PCI), the precipitation concentration degree (PCD), and the precipitation concentration period (PCP) over West Africa to explore the spatiotemporal variations in the characteristics of precipitation concentrations. Besides, the analysis of the effect of the specified GWLs on the Consecutive Dry Days (CDD), Consecutive Wet Days (CWD), and frequency of the intense rainfall events allowed to a better understanding of the spatial and temporal patterns of extreme precipitation in West Africa. Results reveal that, for the projections simulations and at each GWL, the rainfall onset starts one month earlier in the Gulf of Guinea in response to the control period. To encourage adaptation to the various changes in climate in general, and particularly in respect of rainfall, this study proposes several adaptation methods that can be implemented at the local (country) level, as well as some mitigation and adaptation strategies at the regional (West African) level.

Abstract:
AbstractNature-based solutions (NBS) such as rainwater gardens and permeable paving can be deployed as an alternative to conventional urban gardens to improve cities’ resilience against increasing rainfall. This study describes the application of an agent-based model (ABM) to assess the role of private gardens toward the enhancement of water management by households. The ABM simulates the process of switching from “gray” (i.e., paved) to green gardens, taking into account the effect of “soft” (garden networks and gardening workshops) and “hard” (monetary) incentives. The ABM is supported by a water balance model to consider the effect of rainfall on soil water retention. Four different cities in Europe were analyzed: Szeged (Hungary), Alcalá de Henares (Spain), Metropolitan city of Milan (Italy), and Çankaya Municipality (Turkey). The results demonstrate that greening private gardens can generate impact on water run-off and catchment in cities in the order of 5–10%, reaching picks up to 20% in certain cases. While the proposed model is not devoid of limitations, the results provide useful insights in the ways different instruments (e.g., municipal subsidies and knowledge support) could assist with the greening of private gardens for NBS promotion to respond to cities’ water management challenges.

Abstract:
The objective of this one-year project was to show whether a significant correlation can be established between the decreasing infiltration rate of the soil, during simulated rainstorm, and a following increase in the reflectance of the crusting soil. The project was supposed to be conducted under laboratory conditions, using at least three types of soils from each country. The general goal of this work was to develop a method for measuring the soil infiltration rate in-situ, solely from the reflectance readings, using a spectrometer. Loss of rain and irrigation water from cultivated fields is

Abstract:
The US Army Corps of Engineers’s (USACE) Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) rainfall-runoff model is widely used within the research community to develop both event-based and continuous rainfall-runoff models. The soil moisture accounting (SMA) algorithm is commonly used for long-term simulations. Depending on the final model setup, 12 to 18 parameters are needed to characterize the modeled watershed’s canopy, surface, soil, and routing processes, all of which are potential calibration parameters. HEC-HMS includes optimization tools to facilitate model calibrati

Abstract:
The overall objective of this study was to develop, optimize and evaluate novel formulations, which reduce herbicide leaching and enhance agronomic efficacy. Numerous studies have demonstrated that CsT promotes environmental quality and enhances sustainable crop production, yet continued use of CsT-practices appears threatened unless cost effective alternative weed control practices can be found. The problem is pressing in the southern portion of the Atlantic Coastal Plain region of the eastern USA where cotton and peanut are produced extensively. This research addressed needs of the region’s
