A statistical analysis of insurance damage claims related to rainfall extremes

Spekkers, M.H. (author), Kok, M. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Ten Veldhuis, J.A.E. (author)

In this paper, a database of water-related insurance damage claims related to private properties and content was analysed. The aim was to investigate whether high numbers of damage claims were associated with high rainfall intensities. Rainfall data were used for the period of 2003–2010 in the Netherlands based on a network of 33 automatic rain...

The causes of flow regime shifts in the semi-arid Hailiutu River, Northwest China

Yang, Z. (author), Zhou, Y. (author), Wenninger, J. (author), Uhlenbrook, S. (author)

Identifying the causes (climate vs. human Identifying the causes (climate vs. human activities) for hydrological variability is a major challenge in hydrology. This paper examines the flow regime shifts, changes in the climatic variables such as precipitation, evaporation, temperature, and crop area in the semi-arid Hailiutu catchment in the...

Catchment classification: Empirical analysis of hydrologic similarity based on catchment function in the eastern USA

Sawicz, K. (author), Wagener, T. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author), Troch, P.A. (author), Carrillo, G. (author)

Hydrologic similarity between catchments, derived from similarity in how catchments respond to precipitation input, is the basis for catchment classification, for transferability of information, for generalization of our hydrologic understanding and also for understanding the potential impacts of environmental change. An important question in...

Water balance modeling of Upper Blue Nile catchments using a top-down approach

Tekleab, S. (author), Uhlenbrook, S. (author), Mohamed, Y. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Temesgen, M. (author), Wenninger, J. (author)

The water balances of twenty catchments in the Upper Blue Nile basin have been analyzed using a top-down modeling approach based on Budyko’s hypotheses. The objective of this study is to obtain better understanding of water balance dynamics of upper Blue Nile catchments on annual and monthly time scales and on a spatial scale of meso scale to...

Assimilating SAR-derived water level data into a hydraulic model: A case study

Giustarini, L. (author)

Satellite-based active microwave sensors not only provide synoptic overviews of flooded areas, but also offer an effective way to estimate spatially distributed river water levels. If rapidly produced and processed, these data can be used for updating hydraulic models in near real-time. The usefulness of such approaches with real event data sets...

Estimation of predictive hydrological uncertainty using quantile regression: Examples from the National Flood Forecasting System (England and Wales)

Weerts, A.H. (author), Winsemius, H.C. (author), Verkade, J.S. (author)

In this paper, a technique is presented for assessing the predictive uncertainty of rainfall-runoff and hydraulic forecasts. The technique conditions forecast uncertainty on the forecasted value itself, based on retrospective Quantile Regression of hindcasted water level forecasts and forecast errors. To test the robustness of the method, a...
