    • Automatic Parameter Estimation of a Large Conceptual Rainfall-runoff Model: A Maximum Likelihood Approach 

      Restrepo Posada, Pedro J.; Bras, Rafael L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resources Systems, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982-03)
      A stochastic parameter estimation procedure to be applied to large conceptual rainfall-runoff models is proposed. The procedure is based on a maximum likelihood approach, which is enhanced to allow for the use of prior ...

    • Conservation in Long-term Conjunctive Use: Irrigation Demands Using Disaggregate Choice Models 

      Marks, David H.; Wilson, John L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981-03)
      Section 1:This report presents the hierarchy of sub-problems involved in modelling the demand for conjunctive use. An historical description of the development of conjunctive user irrigation and a review of current policy ...

    • Simulation of Random Fields with the Turning Bands Method 

      Mantoglou, Aristotelis; Wilson, John L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory Hydrology and Water Resources Systems, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981-07)
      This report presents and extends the Turning Bands Method (TBM) for the synthetic simulation of random fields. Originally introduced by G. Matheron (1973) of the Ecole des Mines de Paris, the TBM can be applied to stationary ...
