This paper discusses the notion of similarity often used in regionalization studies hydrological models. We compare two different visions similarity: apparent defined on basis observable catchment properties, and behavioral judged through use These are generally assumed to be merged studies: Catchments having apparently similar physical characteristics have a behavior. In this paper, we wished test validity assumption. To aim, (hydrological) model parameter transferability. Then pools...
Climate change is expected to modify rainfall, temperature and catchment hydrological responses across the world, adapting these water-related changes a pressing challenge. This paper reviews impact of anthropogenic climate on water in UK looks at projections future change. The natural variability makes hard detect; only historical increases air can be attributed forcing, but over last 50 years more winter rainfall has been falling intense events. Future evapotranspiration could lead changed...
Abstract. A grid-based approach to river flow modelling has been developed for regional assessments of the impact environmental change on hydrologically sensitive systems. The also provides a means assessing, and providing feedback on, hydrological performance land-surface component climate model (RCM). When combined with information evolution climate, can give estimates future flows flooding. high-resolution routing runoff-production is designed use RCM-derived rainfall potential...
This paper presents a consistent series of policy-relevant indicators changing climate hazards and resources for the UK, spanning health, transport, energy, agriculture, flood water sectors based on UKCP18 projections. In absence explicit adaptation, risks will increase across whole but at different rates from starting values in regions. The likelihood heat extremes affecting road rail network crop growth very markedly. Agricultural hydrological drought as does wildfire danger. River risk...
Potential future increases in flooding due to climate change need be taken into consideration when designing flood defences or planning new infrastructure housing developments. Existing guidance on allowances Great Britain was based research that developed a sensitivity-based approach estimating the impacts of peaks, which applied with catchment-based hydrological models. Here, is national-scale grid-based model, producing modelled response surfaces for every river cell 1 km grid. This...
Climate change could intensify hydrological extremes, changing not just the magnitude but also timing of flood and drought events. Understanding these potential future changes to extremes at national level is critical guide policy decisions ensure adequate adaptation measures are put in place. Here, climate impact on extreme flows modelled across Great Britain (GB), using an ensemble data from latest UK Projections product (UKCP18) a grid-based model. All members show large reductions low...
Abstract Climate change is likely to manifest in river flow changes across the globe, which could have wide‐ranging consequences for society and natural environment. A number of previous studies used UK Projections 2009 (UKCP09) investigate potential impacts on flows Britain, but these projections were recently updated by release UKCP18, thus there a need update studies. Here, UKCP18 Regional (12 km) are applied using national‐scale grid‐based hydrological model, future seasonal mean Great...
Abstract. Hydrological drought is a serious issue globally, which likely to be amplified by 21st century climate change. In the UK, impacts of changes in river flow and groundwater severity future change higher water demand are potentially severe. Recent publication new nationally consistent set level projections (the eFLaG dataset), based on state-of-the-art UKCP18 projections, offers unique opportunity quantitatively assess UK hydrological susceptibility. The dataset includes transient,...
Evaporation is an important component of the hydrological cycle. Potential evaporation (PE) from a vegetated surface amount water that would be lost to atmosphere were supply unlimited; actual (AE) fraction PE dependent on soil wetness. Many formulae exist for estimating meteorological data. usually required input, with rainfall, modelling, but accuracy generally considered less than rainfall model performance. Few studies investigate historical trends in Britain, indicate increases. Most...
Abstract. Hydro-meteorological extremes such as drought and heavy precipitation can have large impacts on society the economy. With potentially increasing risks associated with events due to climate change, properly assessing uncertainties is critical for adequate adaptation. However, application of risk-based approaches often requires sets extreme events, which are not commonly available. Here, we present a set hydro-meteorological time series recent past future conditions United Kingdom...
Abstract The impacts of climate change on future river flows are a growing concern. Typically, simulated by driving hydrological models with model ensemble data. U.K. Climate Projections 2009 (UKCP09) provided probabilistic projections, enabling risk‐based approach to decision‐making under change. Recently, an update was released—UKCP18—so there is need for information how may differ. projections from UKCP18 and UKCP09 here applied using the factor method catchment‐based modelling 10...
Abstract Across the UK, water abstracted from ground, surface, and tidal stores is regulated through a system of licenses to protect both sources environment. Similar permits are required for discharging wastewater rivers or onto ground. These abstractions discharges can have significant impact on UK Rivers, but measurements not readily available, which discourages their use in hydrological models river flows. However, these very unique data sets provide means improve performance spatially...
