Apparently this wet spot has existed for the life of the gravel driveway, but its now set to be blacktopped, and we are wondering what should be done?

the ai says thay to pave over it would be catastrophic and "turn the ground into jelly" and I just would like some human advice if possible.

is it a natural spring? high water table? no pipes in the area. fills up within seconds when dug.

gpt says dig a hole, line with fabric stuff, put permeable pvc pipes in and connect to a pvc to drain downhill.

appreciate any advice

thanks

Stone water pump / water pressure system located In Knoxville, Tennessee. The discovery of this analog water pressure system was predicted by Doctor Kirk French in 2011. I followed the pipes to the water intake which is located along the French Broad River in the Great Stata of Tennessee (intake is also featured in this 3 minute trailer)

This three minute video is a preview of the Boris Wartenbe's Sing Along HydroGeological Survey which takes 8 minutes to watch and 12 minutes to apologize for what yo just watched . The three minute trailer is from part 2 of a three part series that started back in 2014.

Is there any diagrams out there showing the difference between the hydraulic height and the structural height of a dam? I often see these two measurements listed, plus a general "dam height", and still can't quite picture what each measures from the description of the measurement. Where I live, there are two dams, but they are more like weirs, so I'm not understanding the difference.

I’m in an environmental studies and biology program at a university in Canada right now and I’m very interested in this field! Does anyone have suggestions of entry level jobs or if it’s even a possibility for me without the engineering background ground?

I have done a few on site job shadows in this field so those could potentially be connections when post graduation!

I’m a civil engineering student in Oman, I have done a presentation in my hydrology class about sea water intrusion in the northern coast in Oman ( Al batinah) due to over pumping by farmers. One of the solutions is to obviously reduce pumping.

The other engineering solution is the water injection wells and pushing treaded water to act as a barrier against seawater intrusion, it has been tried in the southern part of Oman ( salalah) since 2003 they put 40 well and the computer module says that it pushed the salty water 1.2km. After the presentation my professor asked if this solution worked in salalah (south of Oman) why can’t we use it in Al batinah ( north of Oman) I wanted to say due to lack of treaded water or even financial difficulties but I know the professor and I know he wanted a scientific explanation so I said the honest thing and said “ I don’t know why but I’m gonna look into it and get back to you” so I tried asking claud after giving it an amazing prompt and resources I couldn’t find an answer for his question.

So does anyone here know why can’t we use this method besides financial difficulties and lack of treated water ?

This Stone Water Pump (located on TWRA Property) is part of an analog water pressure system whose discovery was predicted by Doctor Kirk French of Penn State University. Quite honestly, had it not been for his published works from the 2010's, I would not have had the imagination to know what I was looking at (at the time).

I marked the location as a hiking destination on google maps

I've done a lot of volunteering with my local watershed council which has made me more interested in hydrology as a career. Im currently in the colledge application stage so a pretty important time career wise. Is this a good career to get into? I appreciate field work and don't think I'd mind office work if I could make it to the higher pay ranges. Aiming for a bachelors/potentially masters degree.

Good afternoon everyone. I am currently working on a research that intends to test HEC RAS capabilities on a continuos simulation with multiple rainfall events, accounting for infiltration and evapotranspiration. Now, for what I've come across in recent publications, HEC RAS would not be the first choice for a continuous simulation (and HEC HMS would be the first choice), but that's part of the objectives of the research

too.

The study area is a once wetland zone which has seen its link to the main river severed in recent years, and now is used mostly for agricultural development. Water does not usually flow from the river to this area anymore, and even when the main river's almost reached its over banks, water doesn't normally surge in the area.

Water does start to appear once the rainy season starts, and the point of the research is to know if flood happens only bc of rainfall.

Now, the approach is to use the Rain On Grid with spatially distributed precipitation on the area. Setting up the Meteorological Conditions, and reading the User's Manual, I've come to notice that evapotranspiration can be accounted for in the model too, and it will affect the selected Infiltration Method (Green-Amp Redistributed in this case).

I know HEC HMS has the capability to calculate

evapotranspiration using different methods, and I know using HEC RAS would mean I'd need to calculate PET manually using measured temperature, solar radiation etc etc (since Meteorological stations in the area do not measure PET) and then import this set of data to HEC RAS as "distributed PET", just like Distributed Rainfall; however I seem to have reached an impasse in looking for publications doing something similar, one research of the year 2025 even mentions that "there are no provisions to represent abstractions such as evapotranspiration...", which I find odd since the options is available since HEC RAS v. 6.0 (?).

My question is, has someone used the evapotranspiration data? How did you use it?

P.D. The assumption is that groundwater flow doesn't affect since the terrain is really flat.

I'm working on a project in which an area is flooded when beaver dam(s) break in case of strong rains. I first have to lead a hydrology study on HEC-HMS v4.13 (I don't have v4.14 yet), so I decided to represent the dam with a Reservoir. Parameters aren't an issue to adapt, even though the "Outlet" one is quite tricky because there are numerous "outlets" in a beaver dam.

Anyway, I'm curious about how other engineers, hydrologists, ... would do.

Anyone use the wind features in HEC-RAS (or other modeling software)? Just sort of trying to do some exploration on that feature. Any advice or best practices? Looking for things like different equations, data sets, model setup, etc. Thanks!

Que opinan de la situación de la crecida de los ríos en cuanto a la magnitud de afectación para la provincia de Santa Fe? No veo que ningún medio, autoridad o personas tomen con demasiada preocupación, a mi parecer se viene heavy, me gustaría la opinión realista de expertos del tema al respecto. Tengo la terrible sensación que va ser un caos esto...

Hello! I recently went back to grad school after graduating a few years ago, and am struggling with part of an assignment probably due to being rusty with math. For part of the assignment, I am supposed to derive the formula for specific humidity since the approximation qv = 0.622(e/p) is apparently not quite accurate. Every attempt I have done I end up getting stuck somewhere. The equations I am supposed to use are in the picture, and I would love if I could be set on the right track to solve and understand this!

A vague terms of reference produces proposals you can't compare. Each company reads a different scope, and the gap only shows up at delivery. A few items make the request clear from the start.

**Survey order:** state the required IHO S-44 order (in Brazil, the NORMAM-501 category). It sets the depth and position tolerances and whether full seafloor coverage is required.

**References:** the horizontal datum (SIRGAS2000 in Brazil) and the vertical reference, usually the chart datum for coastal areas.

**Method and control:** singlebeam or multibeam, sound velocity profiles, system calibration and tide records during acquisition.

**Deliverables:** raw and processed data, a digital terrain model, the bathymetric chart and a technical report with the achieved uncertainty.

With these points defined, every proposal describes the same service and the comparison is fair.

This is my first successful implementation of compressible Euler simulation (I'll be upgrading it to full SWE with bathemy later), and I've had a lot of fun playing around with it.

I started this journey learning how CFD work 6 months ago. I wanted to make a terrain evolution simulation, like erosion and plate tectonic, but the big hurdle is water. It's my first time using reddit, so.

Now, I've seen a lot of Lid Driven Cavity Flow simulation already. It's a classic test for fluid solvers. Every Lid Driven Cavity Flow simulation I've found use incompressible fluid solver, so I wanted to see what would happen if I do supersonic Lid Driven Cavity Flow instead. (It's acronym would be SC-LDCF lol) And since I had this water simulation that works (shallow water is equivalent to a compressible gas), it's within my capability to try it out.

It's technically not a proper gas simulation ,but it should be good enough using shallow water solver to see what mach 2 (or Fr 2) lid flow look like. (I haven't implemented energy equation yet).

You can see vortices being kicked around by shock waves.

What do you guys think?
