In the United States, estimation of flood frequency quantiles at ungauged locations has been largely based on regional regression techniques that relate measurable catchment descriptors to flood quantiles. More recently, spatial interpolation techniques of point data have been shown to be effective for predicting streamflow statistics (i.e., flood flows and low-flow indices) in ungauged catchme...

The drainage networks of catchment areas burned by wildfire were analysed at several scales. The smallest scale (1–1000 m) representative of hillslopes, and the small scale (1000 m to 1 km), representative of small catchments, were characterized by the analysis of field measurements. The large scale (1–1000 km), representative of perennial stream networks, was derived from a 30-m digital elevat...

The paper presents an example of the application of the landscape functions and natural potentials methodology to the environmental assessment in the upland area of Pradnik and Dlubnia rivers catchments, south Poland. The aim of the research was to propose evaluation methodology applied in GIS environment and based on available digital (or easy for digitalization) spatial data. The study proved...

The Burdekin River, Queensland, Australia drains a catchment area of ~130,000 km and contributes approximately 30% of the total sediment supplied (~ 3.8 t) to the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon from all Great Barrier Reef catchments. Much of this watershed (~115,000 km) drains into the Burdekin Falls Dam, the largest dam reservoir in Queensland (1,860 GL capacity; 224 km surface area; average depth ...

The objective of this study is to assess the performance of a regional hydrological model in catchments treated as ungauged. The Catchment Resources and Soil Hydrology (CRASH) model is a daily, catchment-scale, rainfall-runoff model that has been previously regionalised for England and Wales. In this paper, the regional CRASH is evaluated in three catchments located in East Anglia – eastern Eng...

Knowledge of the hydrochemical dynamics of the trace metal manganese (Mn) in upland catchments is required for water quality management. Stream water Mn and other solutes and flow were monitored in two upland catchments in northern England with different soils: one dominated by peat (HS7), the other by mineral soils (HS4). Maximum Mn concentrations occurred at different times in the two catchme...
