Enhancing Flood Hazard Assessments in Coastal Louisiana Through Coupled Hydrologic and Surge Processes

open access: yesFrontiers in Water, 2021
Traditional coastal flood hazard studies do not typically account for rainfall-runoff processes in quantifying flood hazard and related cascading risks.

Rainfall trends in India and their impact on soil erosion and land management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Under the threat of global warming it is vital to determine the impact that future changes in climate may have on the environment and to what extent any adverse effects can be mitigated.

Runoff and Sediment Production under the Similar Rainfall Events in Different Aggregate Sizes of an Agricultural Soil

open access: yesمجله آب و خاک, 2016
Introduction: Soil erosion by water is the most serious form of land degradation throughout the world, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. In these areas, soils are weakly structured and are easily disrupted by raindrop impacts.

Peak discharge mitigation effects in different rainfall patterns at a paddy plot with a runoff control plate

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2022
Study region: Tawaramoto Town, Nara Prefecture, Japan Study focus: In Japan, steep topography and humid climate make the country vulnerable to flooding and the importance of the flood mitigation function of rice paddy fields has been emphasized.

Development and application of a soil classification-based conceptual catchment- scale hydrological model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A conceptual, continuous, daily, semi distributed catchment-scale rainfall- runoff model that has the potential to be ultimately used in ungauged catchments is described.

Correcting the radar rainfall forcing of a hydrological model with data assimilation: application to flood forecasting in the Lez Catchment in Southern France [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The present study explores the application of a data assimilation (DA) procedure to correct the radar rain- fall inputs of an event-based, distributed, parsimonious hy- drological model.

Predicting Rainfall in the Context of Rainfall Derivatives Using Genetic Programming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Rainfall is one of the most challenging variables to predict, as it exhibits very unique characteristics that do not exist in other time series data. Moreover, rainfall is a major component and is essential for applications that surround water resource ...

The effects of simulated rainfall on immature population dynamics of Aedes albopictus and female oviposition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Larvae of Aedes albopictus Skuse typically inhabit natural and artificial containers. Since these larval habitats are replenished by rainfall, Ae. albopictus may experience increased loss of immature stages in areas with high levels of rainfall.

Capability of CORDEX RCMs in simulating extreme rainfall events over South africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Includes bibliographical references.In South Africa, extreme rainfall events often lead to widespread destruction, damage infrastructure, displace communities, strain water management and even destroy lives.

A rainfall simulation model for agricultural development in Bangladesh

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2000
A rainfall simulation model based on a first-order Markov chain has been developed to simulate the annual variation in rainfall amount that is observed in Bangladesh. The model has been tested in the Barind Tract of Bangladesh.
