Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract This paper presents a case study to estimate peak discharges of extreme flood events of Neckar River in southwestern Germany during the 19th century. It was carried out within the BMBF research project RIMAX (Risk Management of Extreme Flo...

[1] Despite significant recent developments in computational power and distributed hydrologic modeling, the issue of how to adequately address the uncertainty associated with hydrological predictions remains a critical and challenging one. This issue needs to be properly addressed for hydrological modeling to realize its maximum practical potential in environmental decision-making processes. Ar...

Most flood inundation models do not come with an uncertainty analysis component chiefly because of the complexity associated model calibration. Additionally, fact that are both data- and compute-intensive, since results from multiple sources, adds another layer for use. In present study, modeling was performed in Godavari River Basin using Hydrologic Engineering Center—River Analysis System 2D ...

Flooding is one of the most occurring natural hazards every year risking the lives and properties of the affected communities, especially in Philippine context. To visualize the extent and mitigate the impacts of flood hazard in Malingon River in Valencia City, Bukidnon, this paper presents the combination of Geographic Information System, high-resolution Digital Elevation Model, land cover, so...

Post-disaster flood risk assessment is extremely difficult owing to the great uncertainties involved in all parts of exercise, e.g., uncertainty hydrologic–hydraulic models and depth–damage curves. In present study, a robust fast data-driven tool for residential introduced. The proposed can be used by scientists, practitioners and/or stakeholders as first step better understanding quantifying m...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract Global Climate Models (GCMs) precipitation scenarios are often characterized by biases and coarse resolution that limit their direct application for basin level hydrological modeling. Bias-correction and spatial disaggregation methods are ...

Abstract The experiences from recent urban flooding events suggest that the conventional centralized detention systems based on size expansion with minimum costs need to accommodate extreme exceeding their design capacity. This study investigated resilience effects of decentralized address in areas. An integrated flood measure integrates regional performance sub-basins a control system was prop...

The last few years have witnessed an enormous study in the area of integrated hydrological modeling with GIS application. In this research, attempt was made to critically look at the application of HEC-GeoHMS which is an extension of ArcView in HEC-HMS; an HEC package which is a new generation of software being developed for rainfall-runoff simulation. The main role of HEC-GeoHMS is to formulat...

A distributed-framework hydrologic modeling system (DF-HMS) is a primary and significant component of basin (DFBMS), which simulates the hydrological processes responses after rainfall at scale, especially for non-homogenous basins. The DFBMS consists 11 feature units (HFUs) involving vertical horizontal geographic areas in basin. Appropriate or hydraulic methods are adopted different HFUs to s...
