Poppelier, Emma (author)
Climate change-induced changes in weather patterns call for the development of hydrological models that perform well under increasingly extreme and varied conditions. Multiple research studies have demonstrated that hydrological models perform poorly when applied to climate conditions that differ from those during the calibration period of the...

Tempel, Nienke (author)
Hydrological models are commonly used to predict future streamflow. However, the assumption of stationary model parameters obtained through calibration on past conditions may not accurately represent non-stationarity in hydrological system characteristics. Evidence suggests that vegetation adapts its root zone storage capacity in response to...

On the 13th and 14th of July 2021 a cold pit caused extreme precipitation along with record discharges in tributaries of the Meuse. These discharges caused floods in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.<br/><br/>Extreme precipitation occurrence and its intensity are expected to increase in the area due to climate change, increasing flood risk....

This thesis investigates the impact of a phenology model on conceptual hydrologic model. In conventional conceptual hydrologic models the evapotranspiration is partitioned into evaporation and transpiration by a combination of the potential evaporation and the availability of water. This way the seasonal differences in vegetation dynamics are...

In mid-July 2021, heavy precipitation caused flooding for multiple tributaries of the Meuse and Rhine rivers which resulted in many deaths and exceptional damage. The Ahr in Germany, the Vesdre in Belgium and the Geul in the Netherlands suffered the greatest damage in each country. The first step in reducing such high damage from international,...

Seasonal snow is the major water resource of more than a billion people around the world. In a plethora of regions in the Northern Hemisphere, agricultural, industrial, and drinking water supply are highly dependent on seasonal snow. In addition, the melting of seasonal snow regulates the magnitude and timing of high and low flows, controls the...

Fluvial flooding poses a major threat to mankind and annually leads to major economic losses with many casualties worldwide. The consequences of this can be mitigated when accurate and rapid predictions are available when the water will arrive at which location. Current numerical simulations take a significant amount of time due to their...

van Noppen, Ellis (author)
The future hydrological response of a river system is often predicted using hydrological models that are calibrated on past observations. By using static model parameters it is assumed that hydrological systems do not change in time. For long-term predictions, this is in clear contrast with the notion that vegetation actively adapts its root...

Dekker, Diewertje (author)
This additional thesis project is performed as preliminary research for a bigger project that they are going to start at Lund University, to investigate whether the use of a different interpolation methods, to link the precipitation data to the sub-basins centers of the HYPE model, lead to improved model performance. In this report, previously...

Hydrological models are often used to evaluate future changes in streamflow. Despite the strong aware- ness of non-stationarity in hydrological system characteristics, model parameters are often assumed stationary and obtained through calibration on past conditions. The representation of system change in hydrological models is challenging, as a...

Due to climate change, drought-flood alternations have become more frequent and more severe in many countries in the world. However, little research has been done on the relationship between flood and drought. Thus, this research aims to investigate whether a relationship exists between multi-year droughts and the floods that follow in the post...

Mert, Okay (author)
Many conceptual hydrological models do not include any information on plant phenology, which represents the dynamic behavior of vegetation, to partition evaporation in a catchment. Such models often use potential evaporation to quantify evaporation from the interception reservoir and what remains afterward to quantify transpiration, or the other...

Hydrological models are used for all kinds of water management applications. Detailed hydrological simulations are needed to solve the hydrological problems of the 21st century, especially in developing countries. However, sufficient hydrological and meteorological data is often not available. The use of remote sensing (RS) datasets may offer a...

The Mara Wetland in Tanzania has an important role in regulating the quality, timing and magnitude of the flow of water into Lake Victoria. In addition, the wetland provides natural resources for local communities and habitat for variety of species. The planned dam construction upstream of the wetland and projected changes in the local climate...

Global hydrological models (GHMs) have become an increasingly valuable tool in a range of global impact studies related to water resources. However, glacier parameterization is often overly simplistic or non-existent in GHMs. The representation of glacier dynamics and evolution, including related products such as glacier runoff, can be improved...

Blokhuijsen, Thies (author)
The construction of drinking-water reservoirs in previously free-flowing river basins introduces challenges in operational water management, especially in data scarce environments. Often resulting in effectively un- gauged basins. In order to be able to estimate the expected increase in water supply, the hydrology of the ungauged sub-basins must...

Hydrological regimes of alpine catchments are expected to be strongly influenced by climate change due to their dependence on snow dynamics. While seasonal changes have been studied extensively, studies on changes in the timing and magnitude of annual extremes remain rare. This study investigates the effects of climate change on runoff patterns...

The rootzone storage capacity (Sr) is a crucial part of the hydrological cycle. This storage provides water access for vegetation, in order to meet the atmospheric water demand through transpiration. The spatio-temporal variability of Sr is not well represented in current hydrological and climate models. The root zone...

In this report the hydrological response to multiyear droughts has been researched. Long-term droughts have resulted in an increase in tree die-off in affected areas. As the hydrological response is related to the vegetation in a catchment, it is of interest to find out whether catchment response regarding rainfall-runoff is different after a...
