Understanding Catchment Processes and Hydrological Modelling in the Abay/Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia

The water resources in the Abay/Upper Blue Nile basin are the source of life for the several hundred million people living in the basin and further downstream. It provides more than 60% of the total Nile water. Intensive farming in unfavourable soils and slopes, overgrazing and soil erosion is among the major problems in the basin. Land...

Refining the Committee Approach and Uncertainty Prediction in Hydrological Modelling

Due to the complexity of hydrological systems a single model may be unable to capture the full range of a catchment response and accurately predict the streamflows. The multi modelling approach opens up possibilities for handling such difficulties and allows improve the predictive capability of models. One of multi modelling approaches called ...

The Round Robin Test on Landslide Hydrological Modeling at IWL2013

During the Third Italian Workshop on Landslide, a special session was dedicated to a landslide hydrological modeling competition. The modeling exercise dealt with slopes covered with loose granular pyroclastic deposits typical of Campania (southern Italy). The data provided to the participants for the calibration of their models are described,...

Space-time variation of hydrological processes and water resources in Rwanda: Focus on the Migina catchment

This book presents the hydrological research carried out in the Migina catchment (260 km2), Southern Rwanda. The main objective of the research is to explore the hydrological trends and climate linkages for catchments in Rwanda (26,338 km2), and to contribute to the understanding of dominant hydrological process interactions. Different hydro...
