Hydro-Meteorological Incident and Disaster Response in Sri Lanka. Case Study: 2016 May Rain Events

open access: yesEarth, 2021
This paper investigates hydro-meteorological hazards faced by Sri Lanka, a lower-middle-income island country in Asia. It provides a case study of a major hydro-meteorological disaster incident that resulted in one of the largest landslides in the ...

Is there really "nothing you can do"? Pathways to enhanced flood-risk preparedness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Whilst policy makers have tended to adopt an ‘information-deficit model’ to bolster levels of flood-risk preparedness primarily though communication strategies promoting awareness, the assumed causal relation between awareness and preparedness is ...

Socio-Hydrologic Modeling of the Dynamics of Cooperation in the Transboundary Lancang-Mekong River [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020
Abstract. The transboundary Lancang-Mekong River Basin has experienced dynamics of cooperation over the past several decades, which is a common emergent response in transboundary human-water systems. Downstream countries rely on Mekong River for fisheries, agriculture, etc., while upstream countries have been constructing dams to generate hydropower ...

Multiobjective Simulation–Optimization of Crop Allocation and Water Resources in Canal Command Areas Using Genetic Algorithms

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops an integrated simulation–optimization framework for sustainable crop allocation and water resource management in the Bargarh Canal Command (BCC), eastern India. Efficient irrigation allocation remains a critical challenge due to competing demands, groundwater–surface water interactions and environmental constraints ...

A question driven socio-hydrological modeling process [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2015
Abstract. Human and hydrological systems are coupled: human activity impacts the hydrological cycle and hydrological conditions can, but do not always, trigger changes in human systems. Traditional modeling approaches with no feedback between hydrological and human systems typically cannot offer insight into how different patterns of natural ...

Machine Learning‐Based Estimation of Reference Evapotranspiration and Crop Coefficients for Wheat Under Diverse Climatic Conditions

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) and crop coefficients (Kc) is critical for irrigation planning, particularly in data‐limited regions where agriculture dominates freshwater consumption. Although machine learning (ML) methods have been widely applied to ET0 and Kc estimation, most studies address these parameters ...

The seventh facet of uncertainty:wrong assumptions, unknowns and surprises in the dynamics of human–water systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The scientific literature has focused on uncertainty as randomness, while limited credit has been given to what we call here the “seventh facet of uncertainty”, i.e. lack of knowledge. This paper identifies three types of lack of understanding: (i) known

SOCIO-HYDROLOGY: THE PROS AND CONS OF A NEW INTERDISCIPLINARY FIELD OF RESEARCH [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Geography, 2021
The purpose of the survey study was to characterize the state of affairs in sociohydrology, the concept of which began to actively gain positions in the world in the early 2000s. The publication of 2012 by M. Sivapalan et al. is considered to be the reference in the appearance of a statement about a certain systematic design of sociohydrology.

The Role of Daily and Monthly Bias Corrected Data in Preserving the Monthly Cross‐Correlation Between Precipitation and Temperature

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Daily bias‐correction aggregated to monthly scale preserves the cross‐correlation between precipitation and temperature better than direct monthly bias‐correction. The Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) method outperforms Quantile Regression (QR) and MACA, yielding lower bias and higher accuracy, highlighting its suitability for multivariate climate ...
