The Brazilian Cerrado biome (BCB) is among 25 biodiversity hotspots identified worldwide, and covers the recharge area of important aquifers rivers in South America. increase deforestation has been threatening water availability this region. In order to assist water-resource management BCB, study models daily streamflow a basin Cerrado, using two approaches: process-based model (Soil Water Asse...

Abstract. Satellite-based Earth observations (EO) are an accurate and reliable data source for atmospheric environmental science. Their increasing spatial temporal resolutions, as well the seamless availability over ungauged regions, make them appealing hydrological modeling. This work shows recent advances in use of high-resolution satellite-based EO In a set six experiments, distributed model...

The precipitations are characterized by important spatial and temporal variation. Model determination for such series is of high importance for hydrological purposes (e.g. weather forecasting, agriculture, flood areas, administrative planning), even if discovering patterns in such series is a very difficult problem. The objective of the current study is to describe the use of an adaptive evolut...

This paper investigates the value of observed river discharge data for global-scale hydrological modeling of a number of flow characteristics that are e.g. required for assessing water resources, flood risk and habitat alteration of aquatic ecosystems. An improved version of the WaterGAP Global Hydrology Model (WGHM) was tuned against measured discharge using either the 724-station dataset (V1)...
