Abstract Details

2012, Master of Arts, Miami University, Geography.
Water is used to drink, water crops, generate power, as well as for many other purposes. Today more than ever anthropogenic effects on the hydrologic cycle are being studied, weighed, and considered. There are an estimated 2.6 million small water bodies in the continental United States (Renwick et al. 2005). Despite this large number, they are just beginning to be studied, and their impact on the hydrologic cycle is still largely unknown. A watershed in Southwestern Ohio was modeled to determine the effect of small impoundments on hydrologic regime on a storm-event scale using HEC-HMS. The impoundments have an overall minimal impact on regime. The counteracting forces of the storage effect of impoundments and their increase in surface runoff due to loss of permeable surface area are nearly balanced due to their topographic positions in the watershed.
