Population density and water balance influence the global occurrence of hepatitis E epidemics

In developing countries, the waterborne transmission of hepatitis E virus (HEV), particularly the genotypes 1 and 2, leads to the onset of large recurrent outbreaks. In order to identify the geographical regions at higher risk of HEV epidemics and the cond ...

StreamFlow 1.0: an extension to the spatially distributed snow model Alpine3D for hydrological modelling and deterministic stream temperature prediction

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Francesco Comola, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay, Tristan Jonas Brauchli, Aurélien Gallice

Climate change is expected to strongly impact the hydrological and thermal regimes of Alpine rivers within the coming decades. In this context, the development of hydrological models accounting for the specific dynamics of Alpine catchments appears as one ...

Characterisation of the subaquatic groundwater discharge that maintains the permanent stratification within Lake Kivu; East Africa

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

Warm and cold subaquatic groundwater discharge into Lake Kivu forms the large-scale density gradients presently observed in the lake. This structure is pertinent to maintaining the stratification that locks the high volume of gases in the deepwater. Our re ...

Prolonged river water pollution due to variable-density flow and solute transport in the riverbed

David Andrew Barry

A laboratory experiment and numerical modeling were used to examine effects of density gradients on hyporheic flow and solute transport under the condition of a solute pulse input to a river with regular bed forms. Relatively low-density gradients due to a ...

Controls on the diurnal streamflow cycles in two subbasins of an alpine headwater catchment

Marc Parlange, Steven Vincent Weijs, Marc Calaf Bracons, Holly Jayne Oldroyd, Raphaël Mutzner

In high-altitude alpine catchments, diurnal streamflow cycles are typically dominated by snowmelt or ice melt. Evapotranspiration-induced diurnal streamflow cycles are less observed in these catchments but might happen simultaneously. During a field campai ...

Transport of fluorobenzoate tracers in a vegetated hydrologic control volume: 2. Theoretical inferences and modeling

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Pierre Claude Jean Queloz, Luca Carraro, Gianluca Botter

A theoretical analysis of transport in a controlled hydrologic volume, inclusive of two willow trees and forced by erratic water inputs, is carried out contrasting the experimental data described in a companion paper. The data refer to the hydrologic trans ...

Scale-dependent effects of solar radiation patterns on the snow-dominated hydrologic response

Andrea Rinaldo, Michael Lehning, Bettina Schaefli, Francesco Comola, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay, Gianluca Botter, Pierfrancesco Da Ronco

Solar radiation is a dominant driver of snowmelt dynamics and streamflow generation in alpine catchments. A better understanding of how solar radiation patterns affect the hydrologic response is needed to assess when calibrated temperature-index models are ...

Modelling Lake Kivu water level variations over the last seven decades

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

This study aimed at analysing the hydrological changes in the Lake Kivu Basin over the last seven decades with focus on the response of the lake water level to meteorological factors and hydropower dam construction. Historical precipitation and lake water ...
