TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional hydrological model has been developed that accounts for dynamic interactions between hillslope and channel flows, specifically designed for semi-arid areas dominated by Hortonian overland flow, and has a dynamically active channel belt.

TL;DR: This commentary discusses the importance and meaning of connectivity and advocates the use of geostatistical connectivity to provide a methodological framework within a hydrological context that transcends individual complexities inHydrological response.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the control of vegetation on runoff and erosion dynamics in the dryland environment of Jornada, New Mexico, USA, and found that the primary vegetation control is the shrub type and canopy density, which directly affects the local microtopographic gradient of mounds beneath the shrubs.

TL;DR: A global dataset of river longitudinal profiles is presented and it is shown that river profiles become straighter with increasing aridity and numerical modelling suggests that this can be explained by rainfall–runoff regimes in different climate zones.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify surface water connectivity geostatistically as an objectively measurable characteristic of an observed flood event using a time series of MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) surface water product for an extreme large scale flood event (11,000 km 2 flooded area and 6 months duration) during 2011 in Bangkok, Thailand.
