Climate change in Northwest China could lead to the change of the hydrological cycle and water resources. This paper assessed the influence of climate change on runoff in the Manas River basin as follows. First, the temporal trends and abrupt change points of runoff, precipitation, and mean, lowest and highest temperature in yearly scale during the period of 1961–2015 were analyzed using the Ma...

Accurately estimating basin-wide snow water equivalent (SWE) is the most important unsolved problem in mountain hydrology. Models that rely on remotely sensed inputs are especially needed in ranges with few surface measurements. The NASA Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO) provides estimates of SWE at 50 m spatial resolution in several basins across the Western U.S. during the melt season. Primaril...

KUČEROVÁ, D., JENÍČEK, M. (2014): Comparison of selected methods used for the calculation of the snowpack spatial distribution, Bystřice River basin, Czechia. Geografie, 119, No. 3, pp. 199–217. – The knowledge of the water volume stored in the snowpack, including its spatial distribution, is vital for many hydrological applications. Such information is useful for hydrological forecasts and it ...

River water quality was evaluated with respect to eutrophication and land use during spring snowmelt and summer base flow periods in Abashiri (mixed cropland-livestock farming) and Okoppe (grassland-based dairy cattle farming), eastern Hokkaido, Japan. Water from rivers and tributaries was sampled during snowmelt and summer base flow periods in 2005, and river flow was measured. Total N (TN), N...

This article presents the elements involved in the design of a bioretention planter/trench infiltration-detention system as part of a very large-scale urban retrofit project. The prototype system was designed to intercept all of the runoff from a synthetic 5.08-mm 24-h rainfall event. Diverted flows were conveyed into bioretention planter for treatment. The bioretention systems were fingerprint...

Snowmelt is an important source of stream flows in mountainous areas. This study investigated the impact snowmelt on flooding. First, area was divided into four zones based elevation. Second, Snow-Covered Area (SCA) from 2013 to 2018 estimated daily MODIS images with help Google Earth Engine. Runoff then simulated using Model (SRM). As a result, short periods high runoff and possibility floods ...

[1] The distribution of snow and the energy flux components of snowmelt are intrinsic characteristics of the alpine water cycle controlling the location of source waters and the effect of climate on streamflow. Interannual variability of these characteristics is relevant to the effect of climate change on alpine hydrology. Our objective is to characterize the interannual variability in the spat...

Hypothesized feedbacks between climate and tectonics are mediated by the relationship topography long-term erosion rates. While many studies show monotonic relationships channel steepness rates, degree of nonlinearity in this varies landscape. Mechanistically explaining controls on natural settings is critical because highly nonlinear imply low sensitivity tectonics. To end, we present a coordi...

The purpose of the study was to determine the role of land use, seasonality, and hydrometeorological conditions on the relationship between stream water potassium (K+) concentration and discharge during different types of floods-short- and long-duration rainfall floods as well as snowmelt floods on frozen and thawed soils. The research was conducted in small catchments (agricultural, woodland, ...

Mountain rain-on-snow (ROS) generates large flooding events worldwide. Climate warming will enhance the frequency, magnitude, and widespread nature of these events. Past studies indicate rainfall, not snowmelt, typically drives much runoff response during ROS. However, there is substantial event-to-event variability—resulting from shifting atmospheric drivers nuanced physical mechanisms governi...
