From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My name is Geoffrie Kramer. I am a graduate student in Biosystems & Agricultural Engineering at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul, MN USA.

My main interests are traveling, playing sports, and spending time with family & friends.

I have a soft spot for statistics and graphical representations of any kind of data (maps & graphs).

I am hoping to share some of my knowledge of hydrology and run-off processes by starting some pages on wikipedia. I was going to start with a page on the rational method, but then realized that the time of concentration for a watershed (needed to explain the rational method) is not a page yet either. The beginnings of my time of concentration page are below.

Time of Concentration

Time of concentration is a concept used in hydrology to represent the response of a watershed to a rain event. It is defined as the time needed for water to flow from the most remote point in a watershed to the watershed outlet. It is a function of the topography and geology in a watershed. It can depend on things such as slope of areas in the watershed, soil types, channel for conveying water to the outlet, and even land use, including crop or vegetation cover.

Rainfall events lasting longer than the time of concentration can potentially have water from all areas in the watershed traveling through the outlet at the same time. For events lasting less than the time of concentration,

I have begun work on the snowmelt page after gaining some experience in modeling snowpack dynamics and melt in Norway.
