4 Watershed Hydrology Watersheds We will apply some of what you ve learned about the global hydrologic cycle to watersheds. As you will see, a watershed is a logical accounting unit in hydrology and water resources. What is a watershed? Where is a watershed? And how large is a watershed? Delineating watersheds Topographic maps, contour lines and slopes where does the water flow? Begin with a point of interest, usually along a stream. Trace the outline of the watershed, beginning at one side of the stream, by following the steepest slope (gradient). Recall that the steepest gradient occurs at a right angle to contour lines. Then begin tracing the outline from the other side of the stream until your second trace meets up with the first. Check your work: Consider a rain drop falling over your delineated watershed. Pick several points around and even outside of your watershed and trace the downhill flow path of the rain drop. Is it consistent with your drawn watershed boundary?

10 Precipitation Introduction Precipitation is the primary driver for the land phase of the hydrologic cycle Total precipitation over land gets partitioned into different components: some soaks into the ground (infiltration), some evaporates from the surface of leaves and soil, some is taken up into plant roots and released back into the atmosphere (transpiration), some is stored at the surface as snow/ice. For a given watershed, how precipitation is partitioned depends on a number of environmental factors: Temperature Soil moisture Intensity of rainfall Vegetation (seasonal effects) Furthermore, the state of precipitation (liquid/solid) is very important for seasonal (and sometimes interannual) partitioning.

12 Precipitation Mean Areal Precipitation Precipitation measurements are point data; however, models often require the amount of rainfall over the watershed or area of interest. As a result, several methods have been developed to determine the average rainfall over the watershed - called the mean areal precipitation (MAP). MAP = Total Precipitation Volume Watershed Area G3 G4 Examples of methods include: Arithmetic Average (simple average of all stations) Thiessen Polygon (weighted average based on area of influence) Hypsometric (weighted average based on basin topography and location of stations) G1 G2 G6 G7 G5 STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 12
13 Precipitation Where to Obtain Precipitation Data (and Other Surface Observations) In the United States the National Weather Service ( has a network of precipitation gages 278 primary stations - staffed full time by paid technicians (~20 AK) 8,000 cooperative stations - mostly volunteer stations (~70 AK) Historical data for these stations may be downloaded at the National Climate Data Center website ( STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 13

16 Evapotranspiration STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 16
17 Evapotranspiration Overview Evaporation + Transpiration = Evapotranspiration Evaporation (E) occurs when water is converted into water vapor. This may occur from an open water surface or through exfiltration of soil moisture. Methods for estimating evaporation include: Water budget Energy budget Mass transfer techniques Pan evaporation measurements Transpiration occurs when water vapor is lost to the atmosphere through small openings in the leaves of plants. Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) is a combined estimate of the maximum potential evaporation + transpiration over an area. When there is limited water (open surface or soil moisture) actual rates of evapotranspiration (ET) are less than the potential rate. Transpiration Translocation soil surface Absorption STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 17
18 Evapotranspiration Estimating Evaporation: Water Balance Method Mass Balance for Water body: ΔV = P + SW in + GW in E SW out GW out Solve for E E = P + SW in + GW in SW out GW out ΔV Where, E = Evaporation P = Precipitation SW in = Surface Water Inflow SW out = Surface Water Outflow GW in = Groundwater Inflow GW out = Groundwater Outflow ΔV = Change in storage SW out P GW out ΔV E GW in SW in The water balance method is computationally simple. However, gathering the data for implementation of this method may be difficult. Each of the quantities in the equation above are measured or estimated, which results in uncertainty. Thus the calculation of evaporation includes the sum of the errors related to each component. STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 18

21 Infiltration Soil Properties The properties of a homogeneous soil matrix include: Porosity, φ = Water content, θ = Volume Air & Water V = VolumeAir, Water& Minerals V Field capacity, θ fc = water content at which further drainage due to gravity is negligible Permanent wilting point, θ pwp = water content at which plants are unable to extract additional water void VolumeWater V = Volume Air, Water & Minerals V tot w t ot Sand grains Clay particles Dingman, 2002 If a soil is saturated and then allowed to drain, its water content will decrease indefinitely in a quasi-exponential manner, with the drainage rate negligible within a few days to a week Dingman, 2002 STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 21
22 Infiltration Hydrologic Horizons Ground-water zone: Saturated, positive pressure; in absence of ground-water flow pressure is hydrostatic p( z) = γ w ( z1 z2) ; z1> z2, where p is the pressure, z is the height above the datum, and γ w is the specific weight of water Tension-saturated zone (capillary fringe): Saturated zone above the water table due to capillary rise through the pore spaces; pressure is zero at the top of the water table and negative in the capillary fringe Intermediate zone: Water enters as percolation from above and leaves by gravity drainage Root zone: Layer from which plant roots can extract water, bounded by the surface above and an indefinite and irregular lower bound; water enters by infiltration and leaves via transpiration and gravity drainage Dingman, 2002 STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 22
23 Infiltration The Infiltration Process Infiltration is the process by which water arriving at the soil surface enters the soil column. The maximum rate that a soil can accept water is called the infiltration capacity, f(t) *. At a given point the infiltration rate, f(t), changes systematically with time and is influenced by: The rate at which water arrives from above, w(t), or the depth of ponding on the surface, H(t) The hydraulic conductivity of the soil, K * h Antecedent soil moisture Three general conditions during infiltration may be distinguished No ponding: In this case the infiltration rate equals the water-input rate and is less than or equal to the infiltrability H ( t) = 0, f ( t) = w( t) f * ( t) Saturation from above: Ponding is present because the water-input rate exceeds the infiltrability in which case the infiltration rate equals the infiltrability H ( t) > 0, f ( t) = f * ( t) w( t) Saturation from below: Ponding is present because the water table has risen to or above the surface in which case the infiltration rate is zero H ( t) 0, f ( t) = 0 STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 23
24 Runoff STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 24
25 Runoff Basic Aspects of Stream Response Definitions Watershed response to an input event is characterized by stream discharge at a single point that defines the outlet of the watershed Hyetograph A graph of water input vs. time can be constructed from spatially averaged precipitation measurements and is called a hyetograph Rain (depth/time) A graph of stream discharge vs. time is a streamflow hydrograph Hydrograph A storm hydrograph is the time trace made by an observer at a fixed point of a flood wave moving downstream Discharge (volume/time) Dingman, 2002 STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 25
26 Runoff Basic Aspects of Stream Response Streamflow Streamflow is a spatially and temporally integrated response determined by Spatially and temporally varying input rates (precipitation, snow melt, glacial melt) Time required for each drop of water to travel from where it strikes the watershed surface to the stream network (determined by length, slope, vegetative cover, soils, and geology of hillslopes) Time required for water to travel from its entrance into the channel to the point of measurement Flow may enter the stream at the surface, from overland flow and channel precipitation, and as subsurface flow, from groundwater and interflow Flow in the stream takes the form of a flood wave that moves downstream through the stream network Dingman, 2002 STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 26
27 Runoff Response Hydrographs Effective Rainfall Only a fraction of water input to the watershed actually appears in the response hydrograph, with the remainder leaving the watershed as Evapotranspiration Streamflow that is realized too long after the input event to be associated with that event (baseflow) Groundwater outflow (other than baseflow) Depending on the type of model, it is often necessary to estimate the effective rainfall from the hyetograph of water input There are several approaches used for this estimation as shown here a) Losses equal to a constant fraction of water input for each time period b) Losses equal a constant rate throughout event c) Losses given by an initial abstraction followed by a constant rate d) Losses given by an approximation to an infiltration-type curve Dingman, 2002 STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 27
28 Runoff Response Hydrographs Hydrograph Separation Event flow is streamflow resulting from the effective rainfall Hydrograph separation divides the hydrograph into a portion attributed to event flow and a portion attributed to baseflow Gaging station measurements of streamflow cannot distinguish event flow from flow originating from a previous event Therefore, graphical hydrograph separation is often used as a convenient delineation in order to analyze and model event responses and the factors influencing them Graphical separation does not actually identify flow from different sources After Linsley and Franzini, 1979 STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 28

31 Runoff Simple Runoff Model Rational Method Regional equations suitable for assessing the impact of developing on peak discharge are not generally available for small watersheds One widely used method, intended for use on small watersheds, is the Rational Method, which relates the peak discharge of an area, q p (ft 3 /s), to Drainage area, A (acres), Rainfall intensity, i (in/hr), Runoff coefficient, C q = CiA Rainfall intensity is obtained from an intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve using a specified return period Primary use of Rational Method: design problems for small urban areas (small drainage areas, short times of concentration) STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 31
32 Runoff Sophisticated Model: Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting Model The model states consist of the contents of various conceptual reservoirs identified in the upper and lower soil zones Water fills and spills over in a cascade of reservoirs based on parameters that represent average soil characteristics in each reservoir This movement of water between compartments is governed by the precipitation rate, the capacities of each reservoir, evapotranspiration, and the rates at which water can transfer between compartments (infiltration, interflow, or percolation) While an infinite number of layers could be established, the goal of parameterization is to use no more than necessary to effectively describe the physical system STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 32

36 Groundwater Basic Groundwater Characteristics Definitions Water that enters the soil is considered soil moisture while in the unsaturated zone and is called groundwater once in the saturated zone. Within the saturated zone water occupies all pore space and is under hydrostatic pressure Aquifer- groundwater-bearing formations sufficiently permeable to transmit and yield usable quantities of water Unconfined Aquifer- permeable underground formation having a surface at atmospheric pressure Confined Aquifer- confined (or artesian) aquifers form between layers of very low permeability material If the layers are essentially impermeable they are called aquicludes If the layers are permeable to transmit water vertically to or from the confined aquifer, but not permeable enough for lateral transport, they are called aquitards Bouwer, 1978 STEP July, 2007: Hydrology Page No. 36

Present and future supply of water available from surface and/or ground water sources; 2. Present and future quality of surface and/or ground water; 3. Present and future frequency with which human activities will be subject to floods; and 4. Present and future frequencies of low streamflows and drought.

After Dingman, 2002 Pollution management: control the discharge of pollutants so that water quality is not degraded to an unacceptable extent below the natural background level. Davis and Cornwell To do so, we need to: Measure pollutants, predict impacts of pollutants, know background (natural) water quality, decide on acceptable water quality level for a water body.
