A flow-duration curve (FDC) illustrates the relationship between the frequency and
magnitude of streamflow. Applications of FDC are of interest for many hydrological problems …

Suspended sediment at the watershed scale has played a critical role in sediment pollution,
water-quality degradation, and the impairment of riparian ecosystems, and thus has been …

The construction of flow-duration curves is a fundamental task for several activities related to
water resources management. The scarcity of observed streamflow data is a diffuse problem …

Extensive reforestation using Cypress, Pinus and Cedar has widely taken place in Japan
since early 1960s in attempt to fulfill national wood demands and control soil erosion. In …

Small drainage basins, highly fractured rock, high relief, and steep gradients make Taiwan
watersheds particularly sensitive to episodic events such as typhoons and earthquakes, and …

This study examines the characteristics of sediment rating parameters recorded at various
gauging stations in the Yangtze Basin in relation to their controls. Our findings indicate that …

The estimation of sediment yield–the amount of sediment reaching or passing a point of
interest in a given period of time–is an inherently complex and uncertain science as it is the …

The suspended sediment load in a river is an indicator of its health. Yet, the direct
measurement of suspended sediment load is difficult. Most assessments of suspended …

Among the most characteristic offsite effects of soil erosion, reservoir sedimentation is one of
the longlasting problems pertaining to storage capacity and dam operations. In this work …

The study aims to evaluate the performance of four sediment rating curve development
methods, namely (i) simple rating curve,(ii) different ratings for the dry and wet season of the …
