The Santa Tecla flash flood, a very heavy event occurred in western Catalonia (NE Spain) in 1874, was reconstructed with hydraulic and hydrological modelling tools in three basins. The hydrograph obtained in a first step and the basin soil moisture information ultimately allowed the estimation of the range of the rainstorm magnitude which caused the flash flood. The reconstruction of historical...

Human intervention makes river channels adjust their slope and bed surface grain size as they transition to a new equilibrium state in response engineering measures. Climate change alters the controls through hydrograph changes sea level rise. We assess how channel climate compares human over this century (2000–2100), focusing on 300-km reach of Rhine River. set up schematized numerical model r...

Formulation of an automatic calibration strategy for the MIKE 11/NAM rainfall–runoff model is outlined. The calibration scheme includes optimisation of multiple objectives that measure different aspects of the hydrograph: (1) overall water balance, (2) overall shape of the hydrograph, (3) peak flows, and (4) low flows. An automatic optimisation procedure based on the shuffled complex evolution ...

Seven nested headwater catchments (8 to 161 ha) were monitored during five summer rain events to evaluate storm runoff components and the effect of catchment size on water sources. Two-component isotopic hydrograph separation showed that event-water contributions near the time of peakflow ranged from 49% to 62% in the 7 catchments during the highest intensity event. The proportion of event wate...

understanding of the runoff generation processes is important in understanding the magnitude and dynamics ofgroundwater discharge. however, these processes continue to be difficult to quantify and conceptualize. in this study,two digital filter based separation modules, the recursive filtering method (rdf) and a generalization of therecursive digital filter (grdf) were1991–2002 in the hableh ro...
