Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleImproved Continuing Losses Estimation Using Initial Loss-Continuing Loss Model for Medium Sized Rural CatchmentsMahbub Ilahee, Monzur Alam ImteazProblem statement: The rainfall based design flood estimation techniques are commonly adopted in hydrological design and require a number of inputs including information on soil loss characteristics. Approach: A conceptual loss model known as the ‘Initial Loss-Continuing Loss (IL-CL) model’ is widely used in Australia. Results: The Initial Loss (IL) occurs at the beginning of the rainfall event, prior to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,594 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExponential Smoothing Method of Base Flow Separation and Its Impact on Continuous Loss EstimatesGurudeo Anand Tularam, Mahbub IlaheeThe calculation of loss is vital for design flood estimation models and in order to estimate continuing loss (CL), proportional loss (PL) and volumetric runoff coefficient, the surface runoff has to be separated from the total given in a stream flow hydrograph. To obtain the volume of surface runoff from the streamflow hydrograph, baseflow separation becomes necessary and in this … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,484 accessesView PDF Cite
