    • Simulation of the Continuous Snowmelt Process 

      Laramie, Richard L.; Schaake, Jr., John C. (Cambridge Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972-01)
      The efficient design of many water management projects requires the ability to predict the time distribution of runoff from a melting snowfield. A continuous model of the snow accumation and melting processes is presented ...

    • The Methodology of Bayesian Inference and Decision Making Applied to Extreme Hydrologic Events 

      Wood, Eric F.; Rodriguez-Iturbe, Ignacio; Schaake, Jr., John C. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Department of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1974-01)
      This study presents the methodology of Bayesian inference and decision making applied to extreme hydrologic events. Inference procedures must consider both the natural or 'modelled' uncertainty of the hydrologic process ...

    • Porous Boundary Effects in Turbulent Shear Flow 

      Ruff, J. F.; Gelhar, L. W. (Cambridge, Mass. : Water Resources and Laboratory, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1970-07)
      A technique of measuring seepage velocities is developed in order to investigate the velocity distribution in a porous boundary exposed to a turbulent shear flow. Measurements are performed in a 1.2 in. thick polyurethane ...
