Parameter Changes from Upscaling of a Local Scale, Process-Based Erosion Model

Soil erosion affects agricultural productivity, the natural environment and infrastructure security. Soil loss and its associated impacts are important environmental problems. Consequently, model-based predictions of erosion are beneficial for a variety of ...

Analysing the temporal dynamics of model performance for hydrological models

Bettina Schaefli

The temporal dynamics of hydrological model performance gives insights into errors that cannot be obtained from global performance measures assigning a single number to the fit of a simulated time series to an observed reference series. These errors can in ...

Groundwater flow and contaminant transport in an alluvial aquifer: in-situ investigation and modelling of a brownfield with strong groundwater - surface water interaction

Jordi Batlle-Aguilar

The continuous demand on new residential and economic areas of the modern society has to face up with problems posed by polluted sites related to former industrial activities, typically located in suburbs areas. These sites, known as brownfields, are often ...

Observation and modeling of catchment-scale solute transport in the hydrologic response: A tracer study

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter

The coherent description of water flow and solute transport within heterogeneous hydrologic media (e.g., hillslopes or entire catchments) in response to external rainfall forcings represents a challenge in hydrological modeling. In this paper the mechanism ...

Quantifying hydrological modeling errors through a mixture of normal distributions

André Musy, Bettina Schaefli

Bayesian inference of posterior parameter distributions has become widely used in hydrological modeling to estimate the associated modeling uncertainty. The classical underlying statistical model assumes a Gaussian modeling error with zero mean and a given ...

Limitation of the transport capacity approach in sediment transport modeling

David Andrew Barry, Marc Parlange

In a recent paper by Polyakov and Nearing (2003) it was shown experimentally that the sediment transport capacity in a rill is not unique for a given soil type, slope, and flow rate. Indeed, they found that the transport capacity was dependent on whether s ...

Distributed, high-resolution modelling of 18O signals in a meso-scale catchment

Laurin Wissmeier

A combined simulation of runoff dynamics and distributed transport of the stable isotope oxygen-18 (18O) was performed in the mountainous Dreisam basin (258 km2) in the southwest of Germany. For this purpose, a mixing cell solute routing scheme was impleme ...

Selected groundwater studies of EU project AquaTerra leading to large-scale basin considerations

Jordi Batlle-Aguilar, Cédric Schmidt

Several local groundwater studies within the EU project AquaTerra in the Basins of the Meuse, Elbe point at significant influences of groundwater on surface water, while the Brévilles Catchment shows a distinct problematic of pesticide loading to groundwat ...

Transport at basin scales: 2. Applications

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Gianluca Botter

In this paper, the second of a series, we apply the models discussed in Part 1 to a significant case study. The nature of the catchment under study, the transport phenomena investigated (i.e. nitrates moving as solutes within runoff waters) and the scales ...

Streambank erosion hazard mapping

John Beck

Streambank erosion hazard mapping has received much less attention than flood inundation mapping in the past due to the complexity of the task as well as bank protection works that have reduced bank erosion and unfortunately, the ecological functions of ou ...
