Journal of hydrology 2022 v.610 pp. 127870
ISSN:
0022-1694
Subject:
basins; hydrodynamics; models; rain; runoff; transient flow; watershed hydrology; watersheds
Abstract:
... The use of integrated flood models represents an approach of growing interest in the literature, being the hydrological and hydrodynamic flood processes described entirely within the two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic unsteady flow equations. Due to its ability in simulating complex spatial–temporal dependence of both the hydrodynamic and hydrologic responses of a catchment to rainfall events, this ...

Abstract:
... Nowadays Lake Aydat is an important site for tourism activities but blooms of cyanobacteria induced some restriction for aquatic activities by humans and their livestock. Thus, it was important to understand the lake's history as it should help in the development of restoration strategies to improve water quality in the future. Lake Aydat had a complex history affected by climatic changes and huma ...

Subject:
Cyanobacteria; atmospheric deposition; freshwater; isotopes; littoral zone; nitrogen; nitrogen fixation; primary productivity; research; seagrasses; sediments; total nitrogen; watersheds; Australia
Abstract:
... Nitrogen (N) is often the key nutrient limiting primary production in coastal waters. Quantifying sources and sinks of N is therefore critical to understanding the factors that underpin the productivity of coastal ecosystems. Constraining nitrogen inputs can be difficult for some terms such as N fixation and marine exchange as a consequence of uncertainties associated with scaling and stochasticit ...

Modeling network‐scale sediment (dis)connectivity and its response to anthropic pressures provides a baseline understanding of river processes and sediment dynamics that can be used to forecast future hydro‐morphological changes in river basins. However, this requires a solid understanding of how a system is currently operating, and how it operated in the past. We present the basin‐scale, dynamic ...

Fu’s equation has been widely adopted to examine the regional (inter-catchment) variability of the water balance at the catchment scale due to the simplicity and effectiveness of the Budyko framework. Fu’s equation has also been used to analyze the temporal (inter-annual) variability of the water balance, but ignoring inter-annual storage changes is a recognized weakness. The regional variability ...
