Catchment Classification and Hydrologic Similarity
Hydrology does not yet possess a generally agreed upon catchment classification system. Such a classification framework should provide a mapping of landscape form and hydro-climatic conditions on catchment function (including partition, storage, and release of water), while explicitly accounting for uncertainty and for variability at multiple temporal and spatial scales. This framework would pr...
متن کاملOn the need for catchment classification
The rapid growth in our ability to generate new descriptions of catchment heterogeneity, using both experimental and modeling approaches, is now outstripping our ability to use the knowledge effectively in theory and practice. Studies in experimental catchments have identified the idiosyncrasies of many river basins, and produced very complex, yet highly qualitative descriptions of catchment be...
متن کاملStorage dynamics in hydropedological units control hillslope connectivity, runoff generation, and the evolution of catchment transit time distributions
We examined the storage dynamics and isotopic composition of soil water over 12 months in three hydropedological units in order to understand runoff generation in a montane catchment. The units form classic catena sequences from freely draining podzols on steep upper hillslopes through peaty gleys in shallower lower slopes to deeper peats in the riparian zone. The peaty gleys and peats remained...
متن کاملConsidering Uncertainty When Performing Environmental Noise Measurements
In general, estimates of uncertainties in measured values give an idea of the quality of the measurement. However with environmental noise measurements this is not necessarily the case since the variables affecting the measured levels can often not be controlled. Consequently an appreciation of the uncertainties in results lead rather to a better understanding of the measurement and its potenti...
متن کاملConsidering Trade-offs When Assessing Resilience
This article describes the development of a prototype Resilience Analysis Grid for rail traffic management. The findings from testing of the initial model led to the identification of a set of potential vectors for improvement, in particular the need to integrate trade-offs. Based on Resilience Engineering trade-off theory this paper discusses how to integrate trade-offs into the system descrip...
