Hydrological drought is critical from both water management and ecological perspectives. Depending on its hydrological physical features, the resilience level of a catchment to groundwater can differ that meteorological drought. This study presents comparison indices based levels 1987 2018. A small area in Croatia, consisting two sub-catchments with continental climate minimum land-use changes ...

abstract this research evaluates climate change effects on drought severity in the region of gharesou, iran. the standardized precipitation index (spi) has been used for estimation of drought severity. a geographical information system is applied for calculating the mean areal precipitation time series from 11 meteorological stations, in and out of the area for the hydrological period jan 1971-...

A water-table dependent reservoir model to investigate the effect of drought and vascular plant invasion on peatland hydrology. Author manuscript, published in "Journal of Hydrology (2013) 32 p." 2 ABSTRACT: This paper investigates the water table dynamics in a peatland showing a wide range of water table fluctuations. A reservoir model of water table fluctuations in a double-porosity peat is p...

Despite being a water-rich country, Nicaragua struggles to secure clean water access for many of its residents. In addition to distributional and water quality issues, a prolonged drought affecting all regions of the country has compounded preexisting governance challenges to ensuring rural water needs. This article focuses on a rural community along the southwest Pacific Coast of Tola, Nicarag...

The Mediterranean region is one of the hot spots of climate change. This study aims at understanding what are the conditions sustaining tree diversity in Mediterranean wet forests under future scenarios of altered hydrological regimes. The core of the work is a quantitative, dynamic model describing the coexistence of different Mediterranean tree species, typical of arid or semi-arid wetlands. ...

Hydrological forecasting is of primary importance to better inform decision-making on flood management, drought mitigation, water system operations, resources planning, and hydropower generation, among others [...]
