ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ABBOT, J.w. 1911: .Continuous simulation of storm water runoff for use in aquat- ic systems models-. Paper presented at Annual. Spring Meeting of the AGU, Wash- ington. D.C. EOS. Vo1.58161: p388. K~y words: mathematical models: 8tO~ runoff; hydrographs: low f~ow: model studies. The quality and quantity of storm water runoff can be predicted for long tet. continuous periods of time using STOR~, a mathematical model. The pri~ary types of hydrologic analyses where STORM can be used are: (ll prediction of quanti-ties of runoff and pollutants for use in receiving water assessment: and (2) preliminary sizing of temporary detention reservoirs and storm water treatment (or release) rates. Any ma- thematical mOdel used in hydrological analyses should be considered to be a relatively unchanging set of procedures for simulation of a certain aspect (or aspects) of the hydrologic cycle. However, additions are constantly being made to the newer hydrologic models and, to a lesser extent, improvements are still being made to existing tech- niques. Ouring the past ye~r, several major additions have been made to the STORM model. These include metric units, use of u.s. Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Curve Number Techniaue for computing runoff quantity, the SCS triangular unit hydrograph to define runoff from subba~ins, quantity and quality of dry weather flow, increase in the maximum number of land uses fro. six to twenty and ability to specify pollutant accumulation in terms of pounds per acre per day. An example application is discussed where STOR~ was used to predict quantity and quali- ty of storm runoff. The storm runoff quantities and pollutographs were used in an aquatic system model to assess the impact of landuse alternatives on in-stream water quality.

Office of Water Resources Research, Report of Panel on Watershed Research, June 1966: 2lpp. Key words: mathematical models, model studies, urbanisation. An advisory report on watershed re- search is presented, coverinq the fol- lowing subject areas: (1) the princi- pal subject matter and geographic areas of watershed research for which previ- ous work has alrea~y provided substan- tially adequate knowledge: (2) wat- ershed research subjects or techniques which past work indicates are not like- ly now to yield results sufficient to justify additional substantial research effort; (3) watershed research sub- jects that now appear promising areas for increased emphasis: and (4) recom- mendations as to measures under the water resources research act that might aid in bringing about needed increases of research. The panel recommendations for consideration of OWWR in adminis- .~ terlnq proqr... under P.L. 88-319 cover watershed research on: esperl.ental watersbeds, representative watersheds, physical sodels, aatheMati- cal models, and effects of urbanisa- tion. Mathematical modeling of wat- ershed behaviour is a fruitful field of study. Greater ..phssis on the subject of effects of urbanisation is recom- ..oded. . AITKEN.

The Board of Works of Melbourne, Aus- tralia, has designed and constructed 16 stora water retarding basins varying in capacity fro. 13 acre-feet to 2,359 acre-feet. The aia of the storm water retard ing basin is to -re-duce the peak flow downstream of the -b~sin by tempQ- rarily Btorinq a po-r,tion of the inflow from the upstream catchment. The nor- mal outlet is generally designed to pass all storms with recurrence inter- val less than 20 years. Greater storms cause the spillway to operate. The ca- pacity dependS on the catchment size and the rainfall intensity-frequency-duration relation- ship. for the locality. For Melbourne, the moat satisfactory basins have capa- cities about 1/18 acre-foot pee acre of catchment. The duration of the criti- cal design store ia aany times that of the storm usually used to calculate time of concentration: thus th. spill- way-design flood .ay be evaluated by transposing the .aximu~ recorded storms in the region to th~ catchment under study.
