Design Water Level Calculation for Tidal River in Ungauged Basins

Estimation of Design Flow in Ungauged Basins by Regionalization

Estimating design flow in ungauged basins is a task frequently encountered in the design and planning of hydraulic and water resources engineering. Regionalization is a way to deal with this issue. In this study, a regional formula for peak flows was established using gauged flows and basin topographic characteristics in order to estimate the design flows in ungauged areas within the homogeneou...

Water quality modelling for small river basins

Water quality modelling in small rivers is often considered unworthy from a practical and economic viewpoint. This paper shows instead that a simple model structure can be set up to describe the stationary water quality in small river basins in terms of carbon and nitrogen compounds, when the use of complex models is unfeasible. In short rivers point and nonpoint sources play a key role in shap...

River Basins: Water and Complex Adaptive Systems

National Airborne Field Experiments for Prediction in Ungauged Basins

Environmental remote sensing has matured significantly over the past two decades as a result of new satellites and intensive airborne campaigns. As such, current remote sensing technology has a huge potential for hydrologic prediction in ungauged basins, through an ability to measure many land surface states, fluxes and parameters that impact on basin prediction. For instance, it is now possibl...

The water footprint of agricultural products in European river basins

This work quantifies the agricultural water footprint (WF) of production (WFprod, agr) and consumption (WFcons, agr) and the resulting net virtual water import (netVWi, agr) of 365 European river basins for a reference period (REF, 1996–2005) and two diet scenarios (a healthy diet based upon food-based dietary guidelines (HEALTHY) and a vegetarian (VEG) diet). In addition to total (tot) amounts...
