Theoretical hydrology with respect to scaling and heterogeneity over sparsely-gauged or ungauged basins
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to heterogeneity of lands over ungauged/sparsely gauged watersheds at which the hydrological flows occur, there is a need to upscale the hydrological conservation equations to the scale of the grid areas of the numerical mesh laid out over the watershed which is being modelled. A literature review of the various methods utilized in hydrology for the upscaling of hydrological conservation equations is provided. Then some recent formulae for the upscaling of hydrological processes are discussed with an application.

Floods are among the most catastrophic natural disasters around the globe impacting human lives and infrastructure. Implementation of a flood prediction system can potentially help mitigate flood-induced hazards. Such a system typically requires implementation and calibration of a hydrologic model using in situ observations (i.e., rain gauges and stream gauges). Recently, satellite remote sensi...

Extended abstract 1- Introduction Flood is one of the most complex and destructive natural phenomena that cause significant damage to agriculture, fisheries, housing, and infrastructure and significantly affects social and economic activities (Chang et al., 2008). The relationship between geomorphological and hydrological parameters makes it possible to predict floods in gauged basins and gen...

1.0 INTRODUCTION Floods account for about 15 % of the total death toll related to natural disasters, wherein typically more than 10 million lives are either displaced or lost each year internationally (Hossain, 2006). Rainfall is the primary determinant of floods and its intimate interaction with the landform (i.e., topography, vegetation and channel network) magnified by highly wet antecedent ...
