Decision support for planning and management of water resources needs to consider many target criteria simultaneously like water availability, water quality, flood protection, agriculture, ecology, etc. Hydrologic models provide information about the water balance components and are fundamental for the simulation of ecological processes. Objective of this contribution is to discuss the suitabil...

Hydrologic processes in the pinyon-juniper woodlands of the western region of the United States are variable because of the inherent interactions among the occurring precipitation regimes, geomorphological settings, and edaphic conditions that characterize the ecosystem. A wide range of past and present land-use practices further complicates comprehensive evaluations of these hydrologic process...

An ensemble local hydrologic forecast derived from the seasonal forecasts of the International Research Institute for Climate Prediction (IRI) is presented. Three-month seasonal forecasts were used to resample historical meteorological conditions and generate ensemble forcing datasets for a TOPMODEL-based hydrology model. Eleven retrospective forecasts were run at Florida and New York sites. Fo...

Over the next decade, it is likely that science and engineering research will produce more scientific data than has been created over the whole of human history. The successful use of these data to achieve new scientific breakthroughs will depend on the ability to access, integrate, and analyze these large datasets. The way these data are organized and manipulated either enables or inhibits the...

Basin hydrologic response is a function of soil moisture distributional featuresAn information-based dimensionless index of hydrologic complexity is appliedThe complexity index characterizes soil moisture distributional features.

Hydrologic extremes such as floods and droughts are often spatially related, which increases management challenges potential impacts. However, these spatial relationships in high low flows overlooked risk assessments we know little about their differences origins. Here, ask how of both types hydrologic hydro-meteorological drivers differ vary by season. We propose lagged upper- lower-tail corre...

While the process of modeling and mapping a 100-year floodplain is inherently full of uncertainty, engineers are still required to determine a single line boundary for flood insurance rate and other floodplain studies. This is despite the fact that a good engineer knows that, within reasonable limits, different modeling parameters can be chosen that result in shifting the floodplain boundary ei...
