Confluences are the nodes of the fluvial network. They are typically characterized by highly heterogeneous conditions that are favorable for a sound fluvial ecosystem, and play a key role in the connectivity of the river system. During the past centuries, ...
A semi-distributed hydrological model was developed for the upper Rhone River basin in Switzerland to provide 72 h lead time discharge forecasts for the optimization of a multireservoir system during floods The performance of the model is presented and cor ...
Water resources management and hydrological risks are based, to a large extent, on our competence to generate relevant hydrological scenarios under present and future climatic situations. In alpine areas, characterized by highly complex topography, the ava ...
The main goal of the 3(rd) Rhone Correction project is to improve the flood protection in the Upper Rhone River basin. In this context, the MINERVE project aims contributing to a better flow control during flood events, taking advantage from the multireser ...
In alpine valleys with strong urban development, river training works for flood safety become more and more difficult to implement because of economic and environmental constraints. Thus flood management has a great importance especially in river basins eq ...
This paper presents a combined downscaling and disaggregation weather generator developed for multisite generation of hourly precipitation and temperature time series over complex terrain. Daily regional weather variables are first generated from Generaliz ...
During the last decades, the Upper Rhone River basin has been hit by several flood events causing significant damages in excess of 500 million Swiss Francs. From this situation, the 3rd Rhône river training project was planned in order to improve the flood ...
The MINERVE project of flood forecast and management upstream from Lake Geneva is nowadays operational. It aims to protect against inundations in the Rhone Valley, through the Valais and Vaud Cantons. Two main objectives are expected. The first is the hydr ...
The MINERVE project was initiated for flood management in the Upper Rhone river basin. Its first goal is the prediction of floods. The second one is the optimum management of the complex system of hydropower plants located in the basin in order to diminish ...
The main goal of the 3rd Rhône Correction project in Switzerland is to improve the flood protection in the Upper Rhone River basin. In this framework, the MINERVE project contributes to the flow control during flood events by preventive turbine and bottom ...
