From the origins of hydrology, time concentration, tc, has conventionally been tackled as a constant quantity. However, theoretical proof and empirical evidence imply that tc exhibits significant variability against rainfall, making its definition estimation hydrological paradox. Adopting assumptions Rational method kinematic approach, an effective procedure in GIS environment for estimating travel across catchment's longest flow path is provided. By application 30 Mediterranean basins, it...
Abstract. In recent years, copula multivariate functions were used to model, probabilistically, the most important variables of flood events: discharge peak, volume and duration. However, in cases, sampling uncertainty, from which small-sized samples suffer, is neglected. this paper, considering a real reservoir controlled by dam as case study, we apply structure-based approach estimate probability reaching specific levels, taking into account key components an event (flood volume,...
Terraced agroecosystems (TAS)—apart from being an important cultural heritage element—are considered vital for sustainable water resource management and climate change adaptation measures. However, this traditional form of agriculture, with direct implications in food security at a local scale, has been suffering abandonment or degradation worldwide. In light this, the need to fully comprehend complex linkage their different driving forces is essential. The identification these dynamics...
Abstract A high‐quality daily runoff time series of the Lake Como inflow and outflow, longest for Italian Alps, was reconstructed 1845–2016 period in Adda river basin. It compared with contemporary monthly precipitation temperature observations estimated potential evapotranspiration losses. Trend analyses were conducted flow maxima 7‐day duration minima inflows into lake showing a non‐significant decrease significant increase, respectively. Although annual exhibits decrease, volumes rate...
Abstract. One of the most important tasks a hydrologist must face is to estimate hydrological risk (i.e. probability) variable exceeding certain threshold. This often expressed in terms Return Period, T, and refers failure hydraulic structure which controls this variable. Sometimes "structure" simply river embankmentsthe means their overtopping by river. The widely adopted definition problem regarding maxima hydro-logical variables, "the average time elapsing between two successive...
