Design flood estimation is often required in engineering practice such as design of hydrologic structures, flood plain management, river ecological studies and flood insurance studies. The national guideline for design flood estimation in Australia known as Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR) recommends the Design Event Approach as the preferred method of rainfallbased design flood estimation ...

Simulation of the runoff-rainfall process in forest lands is essential for land management. In this research, a hydrologic modelling system (HEC-HMS) and artificial neural network (ANN) were applied to simulate rainfall-runoff (RRP) Kasilian watershed with an area 68 square kilometres. The HMS model was performed using secondary data rainfall discharge at climatology hydrometric stations, Soil ...

Abstract. An increasing number of different types hydrological, land surface, and rainfall–runoff models exist to estimate streamflow in river networks. Results from various model runs global local scales are readily available online. However, the usability these products is often limited, as they come aggregated spatial units which not compatible with desired analysis purpose. We present here ...

[1] A reduction in surface water quality in urban watersheds due to nonpoint source phosphorus (P) loading has prompted municipalities to consider management practices to reduce P loss from landscapes. However, locating P source areas can be time consuming and expensive. Use of distributed models allows delineation of P source areas and focused management strategies. Using the spatially distrib...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract This paper presents an attempt of simulating daily fluctuations of river discharge at global scale. Total Runoff Integrating Pathways (TRIP) is a global river routing model which can help to isolate the river basins, inter-basin transport ...

We present a comparative analysis of projected impacts of climate change on river runoff from two types of distributed hydrological model, a global hydrological model (GHM) and catchment-scale hydrological models (CHM). Analyses are conducted for six catchments that are global in coverage and feature strong contrasts in spatial scale as well as climatic and developmental conditions. These inclu...

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...
