Open AccessHydrological assessment of some old dams in Saudi Arabia under the current climate, environmental conditions, and the use of the advanced technology
Dams were built in Saudi Arabia (SA) starting from the late fifties. The rainfall record at that time is rather short since the early rainfall records in the study area were in the mid-sixties. Therefore, due ...

Effect of reservoir models and climate change on flood analysis in arid regions
Dams are built in arid regions across watersheds for flood control among other purposes. Capacity-elevation (C-E) curves are vital for reservoir routing and dam operation. Different models are available for re...

The impact of rainfall distribution patterns on hydrological and hydraulic response in arid regions: case study Medina, Saudi Arabia
Rainfall distribution patterns (RDPs) are crucial for hydrologic design. Hydrologic modeling is based on Soil Conservation Services (SCS) type RDPs (SCS type I, IA, II, and III). SCS type II method is widely used...

Reservoir routing in ephemeral streams in arid regions
This paper presents a methodology for reservoir routing in general and for arid region in particular. The proposed methodology combines the mass conservation equation of the dam reservoir, the discharge equati...
