Today water bodies are suffering from numerous anthropogenic impacts. One of the key players is urban drainage. The directive STORM published by the VSA in 2007 proposes a procedure for an immission oriented strategy for remediation of urban drainage. At t ...
Evaporation from porous media is a key process in the hydrologic cycles, waste isolation, biological and food processes and other engineering application. Drying rate and patterns in porous media are strongly influenced by transport properties of the mediu ...
This paper synthesizes recent works at the interface of hydrology, geomorphology, and ecology under an integrated framework of analysis with an aim for a general theory. It addresses a wide range of related topics, including biodiversity of freshwater fish ...
Insight into the spatial variability of the (rain) drop size distribution (DSD), and hence rainfall, is of primary importance for various environmental applications like cloud/precipitation microphysical processes, numerical weather modeling, and estimatio ...
Modeling groundwater flow and contaminant transport in industrialized and urbanized alluvial plains is challenging because of the dynamic nature of the strongly interacting river – groundwater system and the scarcity of data. An original combined regional ...
Water resources management and hydrological risks are based, to a large extent, on our competence to generate relevant hydrological scenarios under present and future climatic situations. In alpine areas, characterized by highly complex topography, the ava ...
The relative influences of hydrologic processes and biogeochemistry on the transport and retention of minor solutes were compared in the riverbed of the lower Merced River (California, USA). The subsurface of this reach receives ground water discharge and ...
Mailapalli et al. (2009) presented an explicit numerical scheme for calculation of solutions to the 1D Green and Ampt (1911) infiltration equation. They compared their numerical solution to a numerical solution obtained using the Newton-Raphson method (e.g ...
• Societal motivation: rising demand for tools predicting extreme events • Scientific issue(s) Analogy with flood and statistical hydrology Some specific features of avalanches • Combining Monte Carlo simulations and avalanche-dynamics models • Perspective ...
Intense Mediterranean precipitation can generate devastating flash floods. A better understanding of the spatial structure of intense rainfall is critical to better identify catchments that will produce strong hydrological responses. We focus on two intens ...
