Geostatistical interpolation by quantile kriging [PDF]
The widely applied geostatistical interpolation methods of ordinary kriging (OK) or external drift kriging (EDK) interpolate the variable of interest to the unknown location, providing a linear estimator and an estimation variance as measure of ...

Investigation of hydrological time series using copulas for detecting catchment characteristics and anthropogenic impacts [PDF]
Global climate change can have impacts on characteristics of rainfall–runoff events and subsequently on the hydrological regime. Meanwhile, the catchment itself changes due to anthropogenic influences.

Probabilistic downscaling of EURO-CORDEX precipitation data for the assessment of future areal precipitation extremes for hourly to daily durations [PDF]
This work presents a methodology to inspect the changing statistical properties of precipitation extremes with climate change. Data from regional climate models for the European continent (EURO-CORDEX 11) were used.

Optimization of urban water pipe network design using fast-messy genetic algorithms (fmGA)
To have an efficient water distribution network, optimal design alternatives need to be identified and analysed using combined hydraulic modelling and optimization.

Beam model for hydraulic fracturing [PDF]
We investigate numerically the shape of cracks obtained in hydraulic fracturing at constant pressure using a square-lattice beam model with disorder. We consider the case in which only beams under tension can break, and discuss the conditions under which the resulting cracks may develop fractal patterns.

A Stochastic Framework to Optimize Monitoring Strategies for Delineating Groundwater Divides
Surface-water divides can be delineated by analyzing digital elevation models. They might, however, significantly differ from groundwater divides because the groundwater surface does not necessarily follow the surface topography.

Definition of Spatial Copula Based Dependence Using a Family of Non‐Gaussian Spatial Random Fields
Spatial structures of natural variables are often very complex due to the different physical chemical or biological processes which contributed to the emergence of the fields. These structures often show non‐Gaussian spatial dependence.
