Computation of monthly runoff coefficients for Istanbul (Turkey)
2020
Water demand for Istanbul is supplied both by impounded reservoirs located
within its provincial boundaries and by water transfer from Western and
Eastern regions in peripheral areas, located in South-West Black Sea region.
The runoff coefficient defined as the ratio of the streamflow to the
precipitation, plays a key role in the calculation of the surface water
yield of water catchment areas. In this paper, we present the computation of
monthly runoff coefficients for an accurate estimation of the yield of the
catchment areas. We obtain statistical parameters for monthly temperatures
and precipitation, based on 105-year data recorded at Istanbul Kandilli
Observatory, modeled as Gaussian and Rayleigh distributed random variables,
respectively. We run simulations to predict temperatures and precipitation
over a horizon extending to 2100. We apply Turc’s formula and Thornthwaite
method to obtain monthly runoff coefficients based on long-term data. The
results are compared and discussed with the findings of previous researches
