Urban hydrology has evolved to improve the way urban runoff is managed for flood
protection, public health and environmental protection. There have been significant recent …

The properties of geographical phenomena vary with changes in the scale of measurement.
The information observed at one scale often cannot be directly used as information at …

What elements should a parsimonious model reproduce at a single scale to precisely
simulate rainfall at many scales? We posit these elements are:(a) the probability of dry and …

Impacts of Climate Change on Rainfall Extremes and Urban Drainage Systems provides a
state-of-the-art overview of existing methodologies and relevant results related to the …

The rainfall intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves play an important role in water
resources engineering and management. The applications of IDF curves range from …

We propose a mathematical framework for the general definition and computation of travel
time distributions defined by the closure of a catchment control volume, where the input flux …

Global Climate Models (GCMs) precipitation scenarios are often characterized by biases
and coarse resolution that limit their direct application for basin level hydrological modeling …

Design of urban drainage structures should include the climatic changes anticipated over
the technical lifetime of the system. In Northern Europe climate changes implies increasing …

Numerous studies have explored the role of vegetation in controlling and mediating
hydrological states and fluxes at the level of individual processes, which has led to …

Tropical river catchments face water resource challenges, as populations and urban
footprints grow exponentially. It is acknowledged that deforestation of upstream watersheds …
