A Width Parameter Estimation Through Equivalent Rectangle Methodology for Hydraulic Modeling Applications

"A Width Parameter Estimation Through Equivalent Rectangle Methodology for Hydraulic Modeling Applications" by Ricardo Bonilla Brenes, Rafael Oreamuno Vega, and Jochen Hack now available on the JWMM site (chijournal.org).

The width parameter has a high sensitivity in the EPA SWMM modeling results; therefore, an inaccurate estimation of the parameter leads to unrepresentative results. For this reason, this study seeks to find an optimal methodology to reduce modeling uncertainty and achieve more accurate simulations of an irregular watershed's hydrological response.
