The hupsel brook catchment

Insights from five decades of lowland observations

The 6.5-km2 Hupsel Brook catchment has been used as an example rural lowland area to understand rainfall–runoff processes, land–atmosphere interactions, and solute transport and to investigate how they are affected by changes in land use and water management. Meteorolo ...

The link between hydrology and water quality at the catchment scale

In spite of trying to understand processes in the same spatial domain, the catchment
hydrology and water quality scientific communities are relatively disconnected
and so are their respective models. This is emphasized by an inadequate
representation of transport proc ...
Travel time distributions are often used to characterize catchment discharge behavior, catchment vulnerability to pollution and pollutant loads from catchments to downstream waters. However, these distributions vary with time because they are a function of rainfall and evapotrans ...
On 26 August 2010 the eastern part of The Netherlands and the bordering part of Germany were struck by a series of rainfall events lasting for more than a day. Over an area of 740 km2 more than 120 mm of rainfall were observed in 24 h. This extreme event resulted in local floodin ...
