Dalton Medal Lecture: How far can we go in distributed hydrological modelling? [PDF]
This paper considers distributed hydrological models in hydrology as an expression of a pragmatic realism. Some of the problems of distributed modelling are discussed including the problem of nonlinearity, the problem of scale, the problem of ...

A physically-based parsimonious hydrological model for flash floods in Mediterranean catchments [PDF]
A spatially distributed hydrological model, dedicated to flood simulation, is developed on the basis of physical process representation (infiltration, overland flow, channel routing).

Early warning of shallow landslides: Monitoring of pre-failure suction-induced deformation [PDF]
Most of the Landslides Early Warning Systems (LEWS) in operation are based uniquely on monitoring rainfall data, limiting their performance due to false alarms generated by rainfall thresholds.

Comparison of hydrological model ensemble forecasting based on multiple members and ensemble methods
Ensemble hydrologic forecasting which takes advantages of multiple hydrologic models has made much contribution to water resource management. In this study, four hydrological models (the Xin’anjiang model (XAJ), Simhyd, GR4J, and artificial neural ...

A goodness of fit measure related to r² for model performance assessment [PDF]
Checking the predictive worth of an environmental model inevitably includes a goodness of fit metric to quantify the degree of matching to recorded data, thereby giving a measure of model performance. Considerable analysis and discussion have taken place

Assessing the influence of the Merzbacher Lake outburst floods on discharge using the hydrological model SWIM in the Aksu headwaters, Kyrgyzstan/NW China [PDF]
Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF) often have a significant impact on downstream users. Including their effects in hydrological models, identifying past occurrences and assessing their potential impacts are challenges for hydrologists working in ...
