We offer a model for integrated water quality management. The proposed model integrates water protection, land and water use, preservation of ecosystem sustainability, preservation of functional unity of catchment and river flow and socio-economic activity in the catchment. The model has been developed on the basis of combining existing models, including balancing, deterministic (2D) and statis...

Parameterization of physically based and distributed hydrological models for mesoscale catchments remains challenging because the commonly available data base is insufficient for calibration. In this paper, we parameterize a mesoscale catchment for the distributed model HydroGeoSphere by transferring evapotranspiration parameters calibrated at a highly-equipped headwater catchment in addition t...

In this study biogeochemical export in a set of catchments that vary from 6ha to almost 1500ha is investigated. Studying catchments across this large range of scales enables us to investigate the scale dependence and fundamental processes controlling catchment biogeochemical export that would not have been possible with a more limited data set. The Devil Canyon catchment, in the San Bernardino ...

Catchment urbanisation leads to increased hydraulic and pollutant loadings into receiving waterbodies. Issues concerning pollution that endangers the sustainable utilisation of water resources have focused government authorities towards integrated catchment management, where both causes and effects of pollution are addressed. Recent research has provided a platform for improving urban stormwate...

Hydrological, hydrodynamic and water quality models are often used to simulate surface water in a correct way to be a good basis for decisions regarding the development and management of water resources. Molenbeek is one of the main tributaries of the River Dender basin (Belgium). The hydraulic model is implemented by using the MIKE 11 software of the Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI). It is a v...

there are technical and theoretical knowledge of the gully, ditch the clean areas on topographic maps and digital models that will help. however, the ability to use maps (dem) to identify the location and frequency of gully requires knowledge about the process of creating a moat.the present study modeled gulliation prone areas in dyreh river basin done. materials and methods used in this resear...

six catchment areas of fars, where belong to bioclimatic zone of deciduous temperate forests of palearctic realm, first were . surveyed, and mapped (scale:1: 100,000). then, after ecological and socio economic data analysis and integration, the ecosystem map (mapping unit) of the area was depicted (makhdoum 1992). the ecological capability of catchment areas for agriculture, range management, f...

The achievement of a good water quality in all water bodies until 2015 is legally regulated since December 2000 for all European Union member states by the European Water Framework Directive (EU, 2000). The aim of this project is to detect nutrient entry pathways and to assess the dominating hydrological processes in complex mesoscale catchments. The investigated Treene catchment is located in ...
