TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a physically-based distributed numerical framework that is based on an accurate representation of the drainage network and applied it to the Cedar River basin (A = 16, 861 km 2 ), which is located in Eastern Iowa, USA.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the rainfall-runoff model CUENCAS and applied it to three different river basins in Iowa to investigate how the interplay among rainfall intensity, duration, hillslope overland flow velocity, and the drainage network structure affects these parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the physical processes that control the event-to-event variability of the flood scaling parameters and showed that the temporal structure of excess rainfall has a significant effect on the scaling structure of peak discharges.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple hydrologic example is employed to illustrate the important features of reservoir regulated flood frequency, and the authors show by means of a continuous rainfall runoff simulation how several reservoir variables, including the reservoir storage capacity, the size of release structures, operation rules and the statistical variability of inflows to the reservoir, quantitatively control the regulatory flood frequency.

TL;DR: The significant majority of these dams are small and are often ignored in real-time as discussed by the authors, with more than 87,000 influencing streamflow across the U.S. watershed.
