A significant part of the world's largest river basins are located in areas of arid and semi-arid
climate, such as the Amu Darya, Jordan, Murray-Darling, Yellow River, and Aksu-Tarim river …

This report is one of a series on the Australian Water Resources Assessment system
(AWRA), and evaluates simulations by the current model version 0.5 against various …

Water systems are building blocks for poverty alleviation, shared growth, sustainable
development, and green growth strategies. They require data from in-situ observation …

Daily streamflow data were analysed to assess which climate and terrain factors best
explain streamflow response in 183 Australian catchments. Assessed descriptors of …

This paper pursues a methodological objective, developing and validating a structured
approach for the recognition of areas under the highest levels of drought risk, suitable for …

Large-scale water balance in the Australian continent is examined over an 8-year period
(2003–2010) with three commonly used satellite based water cycle components …

Controlled experiments provide strong evidence that changing land cover (eg deforestation
or afforestation) can affect mean catchment streamflow (Q). By contrast, a similarly strong …

An appropriately simple event runoff model for catchment hydrological studies was derived.
The model was selected from several variants as having the optimum balance between …

Dryland regions are home to some of the most poorly gauged rivers on Earth. Consequently,
these regions lack a detailed understanding of the hydrology, are associated with …

The large observation footprint of low-frequency satellite microwave emissions complicates
the interpretation of near-surface soil moisture retrievals. While the effect of sub-footprint …
