The scientific literature of the past decade contains a large number of reports detailing the
development of downscaling methods and the use of hydrologic models to assess the …

In this paper, a review is undertaken of the major models currently in use for describing
water quality in freshwater river systems. The number of existing models is large because …

This paper emphasizes the different requirements for calibration and validation of lumped
and distributed models. On the basis of a theoretically founded modelling protocol, the …

Abstract The International Commission for the Hydrology of the Rhine basin (CHR)
hascarried out a researchproject to assess the impact of climate change on the river flow …

Considering the spatial character of parameters and precipitation controlling hydrologic
processes, it is not surprising that Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become an …

Physically based spatially distributed (PBSD) river basin models have been available for
over 10 years. One of their strengths lies in the way the surface and subsurface are …

Large differences in future climatic scenarios found when different global circulation models
(GCMs) are employed have been extensively discussed in the scientific literature. However …

Global atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) have been developed to simulate
the present climate and used to predict future climatic change. While GCMs demonstrate …

This work reviews the runoff generation process in forests. A survey of the delivery
mechanisms of hillslope runoff and the difficulties of incorporating some of them in recent …

The increasing availability of distributed rainfall data and computational resources is
providing the opportunity to use distributed models for rainfall‐runoff forecasting or other …
