This article examines available methods for assessing all types of drought costs, including both damage costs and costs arising from adopting policy measures to encourage mitigation of, and adaptation to, droughts. It first discusses damage costs, distinguishing between direct, indirect and...

<Para ID="Par1">Intensification of heavy precipitation as discussed in climate change studies has become a public concern, but it has not yet been examined well with observed data, particularly with data at short temporal scale like hourly and sub-hourly data. The original data set was retrieved by using an...</para>

<Para ID="Par1">Forecasting of intermittent stream flow is necessary for water resource planning and management at catchment scale. Forecasting of extreme events and events outside the range of training data used for artificial neural network (ANN) model development has been a major bottleneck in their...</para>

Regional frequency analysis is a useful tool for accurate estimation of precipitation quantiles than at-site frequency analysis, especially in the case of regions with a short rainfall time series. The use of meteorological information, combined with rainfall data analysis, could improve the...

Understanding the uncertainty of climate models in space and time is necessary to help water resources managers and hydrologists in the selection of appropriate model for a specific application. In this paper, we use three separate methods to evaluate and compare the utility of 14 climate models...

For the computation of the morphological changes on reservoir beds, in scale model experiments, a hydrodynamic model is combined with the sediment continuity equation. The hydrodynamic model is based upon the equations of mass and momentum conservation. The sediment transport capacity appearing...

Runoff, groundwater recharge and discharge, and surface water–groundwater interaction are the main driving forces of wetlands. The quantification of such flows is crucial information in the restoration and management of groundwater-dependent wetlands. The objective of this work is to quantify...

<Para ID="Par1">The aim of this study is to realize a distribution hydrological model to calculate the rainfall-runoff process precisely for the development of the ravine in the north Loess Plateau. On the basis of the real investigation result to the vertical profile of soil in the Liudaogou drainage basin,...</para>
