Parsimonious hydrological modelling in urban areas: Towards integrated modelling

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Dario Del Giudice

Most popular urban hydrological model used in research and engineering (e.g. MOUSE, SWMM, MUSIC,P8) are spatially distributed with linknode drainage network. If some of them (e.g. PURPS, RUNQUAL, SLAMM, StormTac and WBM) treat the catchment in a lumped fas ...

Modelling hysteresis in sediment transport and continuous distributions of eroded sediment

David Andrew Barry

Sediment transport hysteresis occurs due to the different sediment fluxes for the same discharge on the rising and falling limb of the overland flow hydrograph. Experimental field data has shown that the common shapes of the hysteresis loops encompass (i) ...

Rainfall-discharge model of the Aubonne karst watershed (Swiss Jura)

Flavio Finger

The goal of this study was to develop a reservoir model for the Aubonne karst watershed in the Swiss Jura using the systems approach. The Aubonne karst aquifer drains towards two main springs at different altitudes. Three models with different structures w ...

Ecohydrological Footprints

Samir Suweis

Ecohydrological footprints are defined as the response of ecosystem functions or services to changes in their hydrologic drivers. In this thesis, several diverse footprints are addressed: noise-driven effects on storage-discharge relations and catchment st ...

Hydrologic response of an alpine watershed: Application of a meteorological wireless sensor network to understand streamflow generation

Martin Vetterli, Marc Parlange, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Daniel Nadeau, Marc Diebold, François Ingelrest, Simone Padoan, Silvia Simoni

A field measurement campaign was conducted from June to October 2009 in a 20 km2 catchment of the Swiss Alps with a wireless network of 12 weather stations and river discharge monitoring. The objective was to investigate the spatial variability of meteorol ...

Daily streamflow analysis based on a two-scaled gamma pulse model

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter

In this paper, we develop a simple analysis method to infer some properties of the watershed processes from daily streamflow data. The method is built on a simple streamflow model with a link to rainfall stochasticity, which characterizes the streamflow as ...

Comparative study of ecohydrological streamflow probability distributions

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Serena Ceola, Gianluca Botter

We run a comparative study of ecohydrological models of streamflow probability distributions (pdfs), p(Q), derived by Botter et al. (2007a, 2009), against field data gathered in different hydrological contexts. Streamflows measured in several catchments ac ...

Stochastic modeling of nutrient losses in streams: Interactions of climatic, hydrologic, and biogeochemical controls

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter

We present an analytical, stochastic approach for quantifying intra-annual fluctuations of in-stream nutrient losses induced by naturally variable hydrologic conditions. The relevance of the problem we address lies in the growing concern for the major envi ...

Nonlinear storage-discharge relations and catchment streamflow regimes

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter

Nonlinear storage-discharge relations may explain important hydrologic features frequently observed under a variety of environmental conditions. In this paper the catchment dynamic storage problem is addressed by incorporating nonlinear storage-discharge r ...

A limits of acceptability approach to model evaluation and uncertainty estimation in flood frequency estimation by continuous simulation: Skalka catchment, Czech Republic

In this study continuous simulation flood frequency predictions on the Skalka catchment in the Czech Republic (672 km 2, range of altitudes from 460 to 1041 m above sea level), are compared against summary information of rainfall characteristics, the flow ...
