Hydrological modelling of the Zambezi River Basin taking into account floodplain behaviour by a modified reservoir approach

Anton Schleiss, Théodora Cohen Liechti, David Ferràs Segura

Floodplains are regions of great interest for environmental assessment as they constitute important ecological reserves and contribute efficiently to natural flood attenuation. However, the implementation of a model describing the basic hydrological behavi ...

Improving the degree-day method for sub-daily melt simulations with physically-based diurnal variations

Andrea Rinaldo, Cara Christine Tobin, Marc Parlange, Bettina Schaefli, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Ludovico Nicotina, Silvia Simoni

This paper proposes a new extension of the classical degree-day snowmelt model applicable to hourly simulations for regions with limited data and adaptable to a broad range of spatially-explicit hydrological models. The snowmelt schemes have been tested wi ...

Rock mass assessment and corresponding TBM operation optimization for TBM tunneling at depth - a case study of Jinping II hydropower station

Jian Zhao, Lijun Yin

During TBM tunneling at the great depth, problems such as high in situ stress, groundwater inflow and fractured rock masses are main reasons of the geotechnical risk occurrence in TBM tunneling. Thus it is necessary to modify TBM and optimize TBM operation ...

Hydrology and Pesticide Transport Modelling in the Petite Chamberonne catchment

Pascal Stalder

This project studied hydrological models used in the catchment of the Petite Chamberonne north-west of Lausanne. In a first step, input data have been analysed and prepared for the spatially explicit, conceptual hydrological model SEHR-ECHO. It has been pr ...

Trends and shifts in streamflow in Hawai'i, 1913-2008

Maoya Bassiouni

This study addresses a need to document changes in streamflow and base flow (groundwater discharge to streams) in Hawaii during the past century. Statistically significant long-term (19132008) downward trends were detected (using the nonparametric MannKend ...

Alternative conceptual models and the robustness of groundwater management scenarios in the multi-aquifer system of the Central Veneto Basin, Italy

Andrea Rinaldo

A three-dimensional (3D) groundwater flow model of the deep multi-aquifer Quaternary deposits of the Po plain sedimentary basin, within a 3,300-km(2) area (Veneto, Italy), is developed, tested and applied to aid sustainable large-scale water-resources mana ...

Non-Stationary Hydrologic Transport in the Vadose Zone: Experimental Results of Multiple Tracer Injections in Lysimeters

Andrea Rinaldo, Pierre Claude Jean Queloz

Travel and residence times are well-known descriptors of hydrologic and solute transport in the vadose zone. It has been observed that their probability density functions are stationary only under specific conditions, rarely encountered in natural catchmen ...

Coupled Hydrogeological and Geomechanical Modelling for the Analysis of Slowly-Moving Landslides

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari

Slow movements of natural slopes are quite frequent in mountainous or hilly areas. They may display occasional crises, mostly related to the increase of pore water pressures induced by exceptional climatic conditions. A methodology consisting of combining ...

Ecohydrology of Terrestrial Ecosystems

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo d'Odorico

Water controls the dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems directly, as a resource for the biota, and indirectly, as a driver for abiotic processes on the Earth's surface, in the atmosphere, and belowground The biota, in turn, modulate several hydrological proc ...
