Abstract Inundation patterns in the Pantanal remain in a relatively natural state, yet a number of significant human influences have occurred in the past, and there is potential for more severe human impacts as development of the region continues in the future. The objectives of this paper are 1) to briefly review the linkages between hydrology and ecological structure and function in the Panta...

This paper describes the use of a genetic algorithm to solve a hydrology design problem determining an optimal prescription of Best Management Practices in a flood-prone watershed. The result is an interactive tool for hydrology engineers that can be used to explore the effects of water retention and infiltration devices as an alternative to traditional storm sewers. The model has proved capabl...

This article will demonstrate the utility of a thermal-based remote sensing technique for monitoring evapotranspiration (ET), vegetation health/stress, and soil moisture status at local to continental scales. The paper is intended for researchers in a broad range of scientific disciplines – from the biosciences, atmospheric sciences, and hydrology – and also for policy makers in environmental a...

The Information Age offers much to mankind and I would like to think that we will rise to the challenges it presents. But it is vital to remember that information, in the sense of raw data, is not knowledge that knowledge is not wisdom, and that wisdom is not foresight. But information is the first essential step to all of these. 4 Design, calibration and field evaluation of a prototype acousti...

This contribution brings to a close a special issue of Hydrology and Earth System Sciences concerning the assessment of nitrogen dynamics in catchments across Europe within a semi-distributed Integrated Nitrogen model for multiple source assessment in Catchments (INCA). The wide range of issues involved in relation to hydrology and within-catchment processes, scale (from small catchments to maj...

For the purposes of this Special Issue Hydrology, “Stormwater/Drainage Systems and Wastewater Management”, it is worth noting that hydrology, as defined by US National Research Council [...]

abstract in current study, an irrigation examination and acquisition of environmental water in kor-river fields, that is dominated from doroudzan dam to bakhtegan lake, was done by an integrated economy-environmental model. the model was considered by economic, hydrologic and agronomic components. in the economic component, an optimal harvesting of water was done using non-linear programming in...
