On flow duration curve modelling in Alpine catchments

Mountain regions are considered to be the natural "water towers" of the world due to their importance as sources of many rivers. Reliable tools to estimate the availability and variability of streamflows in such regions are still rare. In this context, the ...

Estimation of streamflow recession parameters: New insights from an analytic streamflow distribution model

Andrea Rinaldo, Bettina Schaefli, Ana Clara Pereira Barbosa Santos

Streamflow recession analysis characterizes the storage-outflow relationship in catchments. This relationship, which typically follows a power law, summarizes all catchment-scale subsurface hydrological processes and has long been known to be a key descrip ...

Tapping hidden hydropower potential in Swiss Alpine catchments in the context of the planned nuclear power phase out

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Bettina Schaefli, Ana Clara Pereira Barbosa Santos

In its Energy Strategy 2050, Switzerland is revising its energy perspectives with a strong focus on renewable sources of energy and in particular hydropower. In this context, the Swiss Government funded a number of competence centers for energy research (S ...
