Practical Formulation of Snow Surface Diffusion by Wind for Watershed-Scale Applications, A
Prediction of snow drift is of importance for structure design and traffic management on snowy and windy prairie landscapes. The snow redistribution by wind is also regarded as one of the largest sources of error in ... -
Kinetics of Permanganate Consumption by Natural Oxidant Demand in Aquifer Solids
Effectiveness of permanganate (MnO4-) injection for in situ chemical oxidation is often controlled by the natural oxidant demand (NOD) of the aquifer solids. In this work, a simple procedure was developed and applied to ... -
Estimates of Biomass and Fixed Carbon at a Rainforest in Panama
This paper presents an estimation of the quantity of carbon fixed in trees in a one hectare (ha) plot at the Cerro Pelado-Gamboa Hydrology Tropical Observatory, which is located in the province of Colon, Panama. The ... -
Study of Seasonal Rainfall Infiltration via Time-lapse Surface Electrical Resistivity Tomography: Case Study of Gamboa Area, Panama Canal Watershed
The present investigation was focused on the variations in rainwater infiltration experienced by soils of Gamboa zone (Panama Canal Watershed) during various seasons of the year, employing a time-lapse analysis of electrical ... -
Relative Importance of Impervious Area, Drainage Density, width Function, and Subsurface Storm Drainage on Flood Runoff from an Urbanized Catchment
The literature contains contradictory conclusions regarding the relative effects of urbanization on peak flood flows due to increases in impervious area, drainage density and width function, and the addition of subsurface ... -
Effect of Land Cover and Use on Dry Season River Runoff, Runoff Efficiency, and Peak Storm Runoff in the Seasonal Tropics of Central Panama
A paired catchment methodology was used with more than 3 years of data to test whether forests increase base flow in the dry season, despite reduced annual runoff caused by evapotranspiration (the sponge-effect hypothesis), ...
