| description | Climate change is the main parameter affecting water resources. This parameter will exacerbate hydrologic extreme events like
drought and flood. Determination of possible peak flow in the agricultural watershed is important in terms of preventing crop losses.
The materials and the methods suitable for agricultural watersheds (hydrology) were used in this study. The general aim of this study
is to determine the success of estimation power of the Windows Technical Release-55 (WinTR-55) Model. In this study, the peak flows
estimated by the WinTR-55 model using the data of the Kirklareli Vize and Samsun Minoz Stream watersheds were compared with the
observed peak flows. The most successful estimation was for the 100-year return period with error 25% in the Vize stream watershed
and was for the 10-year return period with error 2% in the Minoz Stream watershed. With the aid of the WinTR-55, which tends to
predict larger peak flow rates, greater peak flow rates were estimated compared with observed peak flow for each return period. So,
it was understood that WinTR-55 can be used for the prevention of flood damage in the Vize and Minoz Stream watersheds confidently.
As a result, it is recommended that calculated peak flow in public institutions such as State Hydraulics Works (SHW) should made with
the help of the WinTR-55 model. |
