The objective of this research is to improve the comprehension of the hydrological behaviour of natural catchments. The main originality of this work is to associate different types of measurement in order to obtain a better vision of hydrological processe ...
This study addresses two major challenges in the field of climate change impact analysis on water resources systems: i) incorporation of the largest possible range of potential climate change scenarios and ii) quantification of related modelling uncertaint ...
Urban land-use planning and management are in constant mutation throughout the world. With sustainability as a goal, the use of participative GIS is becoming more and more in demand. Given the willingness of local authorities to test participatory models a ...
High mountainous water resource systems are particularly sensitive to climate change impacts. The hydrological regime of such environments is strongly influenced by water accumulation in form of snow and ice and the corresponding melt processes. A modifica ...
The development of a hydrological forecasting model is conditioned by the available data collected in the entire hydrological catchment for which discharge has to be predicted. The forecast quality not only depends on the available historical data but also ...
In high mountainous catchments, the spatial precipitation and therefore the overall water balance is generally difficult to estimate. The present paper describes the structure and calibration of a semi-lumped conceptual glaciohydrological model for the joi ...
Hydrological model calibration should consider two different concepts of predictive uncertainty referring respectively to the statistical uncertainty and the so-called multi-objective equivalence. Currently available studies present different methods to qu ...
The present work analyzes the climate change impacts on the runoff regimes of mountainous catchments in the Swiss Alps having current glaciation rates between 0 and 50 %. The hydrological response of 11 catchments to a given climate scenario is simulated t ...
The classical single-objective model calibration and validation approach using different time periods for each of them is known not to be sufficient to judge whether the model predictions are consistent or to detect model structural deficiencies. It is how ...
High spatio-temporal resolution monitoring has only been progressively developed in the Rhine–Meuse basins over the last few decades. As a consequence, basic hydrological information can be very scarce in some areas. In regions which are homogeneous from a ...
