Water Systems& Hydrology
Under DevelopmentModel precipitation runoff accumulation, simulate groundwater aquifer recharge rates, and extract watershed drainage matrices.
Watershed Basin Extraction
Watershed boundaries are extracted by executing drainage flow accumulation math on Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). By finding local depressions (sinks) and tracking flow paths perpendicular to slope contour lines, the hydrology engines map complex catchment networks.
Groundwater Darcy Flows
Aquifer flow velocities are modeled using Darcy's Law. This solves underground fluid pressure vectors using local geological porosity coordinates, aquifer thicknesses, and water tables heights.
DARCY FLUID FLOW VELOCITY
Where q is specific fluid discharge flux vector, K is local hydraulic conductivity, and dh/dl is hydraulic gradient steepness.
Precipitation Runoff Mechanics
Precipitation runoff is calculated by coupling CHIRPS rainfall grids with regional soil saturation values (SAVI) and land cover descriptors. Peak discharge flows are solved using the Rational Method.
RATIONAL METHOD HYDROLOGICAL FLOW
Where Q is peak runoff rate, C is dimensionless runoff coefficient, I is rainfall intensity from CHIRPS, and A is catchment area.
