An evaluation of the performance of a physically-based distributed model of a small Mediterranean mountain catchment is presented. This was carried out using hydrological response data, including measurements of runoff, soil moisture, phreatic surface level and actual evapotranspiration. A-priori model parameterisation was based as far as possible on property data measured in the catchment. Lim...

A wide range of nature-based solutions for flood hazard management work by storing and slowing flow within catchments, therefore, there is a need to identify the optimal locations implementing these solutions. This paper presents relative scoring-based mapping likely that contribute peak. Targeting reduction attenuating mitigation actions in can be an effective way reduce damages at impact poin...

In this paper trends of precipitation and stream flow are analyzed in the Atrak River basin in the North Khorasan province. Normal score linear regression, Mann-Kendall, and Seasonal Kendall trend tests were adopted. Three precipitation variables and two stream flow variables including total precipitation, maximum daily precipitation, and number of rainy days, mean discharge and peak discharge ...

Debris flows are among the most dangerous phenomena in mountain environment. Recently use of seismic and infrasonic recordings has proven to be a powerful tool for study monitor debris flows. However open questions remain linking signal characteristic flow parameters fluid dynamic processes. We present seismo-acoustic analysis activity between 2017 2019 at Illgraben catchment (Switzerland). Sei...

The MINERVE project was initiated for flood management in the Upper Rhone river basin. Its first goal is the prediction of floods. The second one is the optimum management of the complex system of hydropower plants located in the basin in order to diminish the peak discharge in the Rhone River and its tributaries. The MINERVE Interactive Decision Support (MINDS) proposes turbine and bottom outl...

Flood is a natural disaster that frequently happens and causes many material immaterial losses. During flooding, the suspended sediment carried along by streamflow. The amount of transported varies depends on anthropogenic factors. Limited studies have been conducted regarding relationship between peak flood volume its content. Therefore, study with purpose to understand rainfall characteristic...

In this paper, the El-Hames empirical method was used to determine the peak runoff flow in Iranshahr catchment. The El-Hames method is based on morphological parameters and SCS Curve Number of the studied area. The implementing was processed by collecting the required data including soil type and vegetation cover, land use maps, digital elevation model and satellite images from the associated i...

In July 2007 an intense summer storm resulted in significant activation of the sediment system Thinhope Burn, UK. Catchment- and reach-scale morphodynamic modelling is used to investigate geomorphic work undertaken by Burn; comparing this with more subdued responses shown its neighbours. Total efflux for Burn over 10 yr period 1998-2007 was 18, 801 m 3 four times that larger Knar catchment fift...

Conservation of endangered, cold-stenothermic species, such as the freshwater pearl mussel (FPM) and its salmonid host fish, are particularly challenging in headwater streams their last refuge areas. Understanding impact anthropogenic catchment features fish ponds on hydrology temperature regime is, therefore, important. In this study, runoff a FPM with more than 150 small was simulated using S...
