The lack of observed streamflow datasets for calibration rainfall-runoff models imposes substantial problems their applicability, especially in poorly gauged or ungauged river basins. Developing satellite technologies and increasing computational powers over the past decades, have provided an environment researchers to simulate several water balance components globally using these assimilation ...

This paper presents an object-oriented toolkit for building computer models for water resource planning. The focus is on building a program for flood calculations in river systems with several reservoirs and water transfer structures. The foundation for the flood model is a framework for building hydrologic models. The general framework provides the user with tools for describing the structural...

Accurate estimation of spatial and temporal distribution of the water resources parameters is a crucial for hydrologic models. During the last decades, engineers and planners have shown keen interest in applying Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and satellite based Remote Sensing (RS) technologies to extract land surface parameters, which acted as a threshold in early days, to obtain reasona...

The resources of the enviroGRIDS system are accessible to the large community of users through the BSCOS Portal that provides Web applications for data management, hydrological model calibration and execution, satellite image processing, report generation and visualization, citizens oriented applications, and virtual training center. The portal publishes through Internet both the geospatial fun...
