Hydrologic and Water-Quality Characterization and Modeling of the Chenoweth RunBasin, Jefferson County, Kentucky

摘要

Rainfall, streamflow, and water-quality data collected in the Chenoweth Run Basinduring February 1996-January 1998, in combination with the available historical sampling data, were used to characterize hydrologic conditions and to develop and calibrate a Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran (HSPF) model for continuous simulation of rainfall, streamflow, suspended-sediment, and total-orthophosphate (TPO4) transport relations. Study results provide an improved understanding of basin hydrology and a hydrologic-modeling framework with analytical tools for use in comprehensive water-resource planning and management.
