[1] A conceptual hydrological model structure contains several parameters that have to be estimated through matching observed and modeled watershed behavior in a calibration process. The requirement that a model simulation matches different aspects of system response at the same time has led the calibration problem toward a multiobjective approach. In this work we compare two multiobjective cal...

This paper aims in the construction of an Artificial Neural Network model that performs successful estimation of the Maximum Water Supply (m /sec) and of the Special Water Flow (m/sec*Km) using several topographic, meteorological and morphometric parameters as independent variables. Support Vector Machines applying specific Kernel algorithms [9] are used to determine the Error or Loss of the Ne...

[1] The Martian outflow channels were carved by the eruption of catastrophic floods from groundwater aquifers. This study models the time evolution of a typical outflow channel flood originating within a chaos region. The flood initiates when superlithostatic pore pressures within a confined aquifer lead to the propagation of hydrofractures through the confining cryosphere to the surface. The p...

In an attempt to provide a unified scheme for the simulation of changing behaviours of hydrological systems, a theoretical framework for stationary and non-stationary modelling is presented. The main triggers for hydrological change are reviewed, their impact on the long term properties of the inherent system are analysed and theoretical solutions are proposed for their representation. Model ca...

Recent progress is reviewed in the understanding of convective interaction with water vapor, and changes associated with water vapor in warmer climates. Progress includes new observing techniques (including isotopic methods) that are helping to illuminate moistureconvection interaction, better-observed humidity trends, new modeling approaches, and clearer expectations as to the hydrological con...

Understanding of hydrological processes, including consideration of interactions between vegetation growth and water transfer in the root zone, underpins efficient use of water resources in arid-zone agriculture. Water transfers take place in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, and include groundwater dynamics, unsaturated zone flow, evaporation/transpiration from vegetated/ bare soil and surf...

The paper discusses a software package that has been designed to enhance the efficiency of applying a range of hydrological and water resource simulation models. The SPATSIM (SPatial and Time Series Information Modeling) system has been developed in Delphi using MapObjects and incorporates a spatial data interface for access to the different types of information commonly associated with water r...

Improved knowledge regarding water pollution and dynamic water modeling have contributed to the development of hydrological models to evaluate water quality. When linked to Geographical Information Systems (GIS), these models become more accurate, more flexible and more efficient. In this paper I present an integrated software (SENEQUE) that combines a hydrological model (RIVERSTRAHLER) with a ...
