TL;DR: Different ways of characterizing the baseflow recession rate are reviewed and a major problem is the high variability encountered in the recession behaviour of individual segments.

TL;DR: Gash's analytical model of rainfall interception is reformulated, with improved boundary conditions, to give a better description of the evaporation from sparse forest as discussed by the authors, and the model is tested against data from Les Landes Forest collected during HAPEX-MOBILHY.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a distributed rainfall-runoff model to estimate the peak rate and runoff volume for a 4.4 ha semiarid watershed in convective air-mass thunderstorm rainfall.

TL;DR: In this article, ground water flow systems in the rugged central Wasatch Range, Utah, were investigated by solute and isotopic methods, and six types of ground water systems were identified on the basis of rock type and structure.

TL;DR: Correlation and cross-spectral analysis can be applied to the study of karstic aquifers to characterize the transformations in these systems between the input function (precipitation) and the output function (discharge) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the chemistry of major elements (Ca, K, Mg, Na, SiO2, Cl−, SO4−2 and alkalinity etc.) from the Huanghe (Yellow River) is examined with data obtained from the main channel in August 1986 in combination with previous studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experiment was conducted in a small catchment (4.4 ha) in the semiarid USDA-ARS Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed, where measurements were made with recording and non-recording raingages as well as vectopluviometers.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple scheme is developed to describe how vegetation and the convective boundary layer interact during daylight in terms of water and sensible heat exchange, and the response of vegetation to a prescribed atmospheric state is defined by a quadratic equation obtained by combining the Penman-Monteith equation with a new relation between surface conductance and transpiration rate based on laboratory evidence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a model driven by meteorological forcing at a reference level (incoming solar and long-wave radiation, air temperature, humidity and wind speed, and rainfall), which can be divided into four main compartments in the soil, coupled heat and mass transfer equations, including liquid and vapour phase transfer, are solved In the atmosphere, stability is taken into account in the calculation of the aerodynamic resistances At the soil-plant-atmosphere interface, one vegetation layer is considered, with two energy budgets: one for the bare soil fraction

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of moisture recycling is presented including the derivation of water recycling indicators, one of which is based on the salinity of the rainfall, which is verified with observations of rainfall and runoff in the Sahel over the period 1952-1990.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of the isotopic composition of the soil water in zones of high soil water potential (and hence high plant water availability) with that in plants showed that the overall approach is subject to a randomly distributed error of 5% in 2H isotope composition with no indication of any bias.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a more general solution to identify the location of and quantifying the volume of groundwater/surface water interaction by incorporating measured surface temperature (rather than an assumed surface temperature), which is targeted on quantification of flux across the sediment for conditions of one-dimensional downflow with a constant flux over periods of days to weeks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential impact of land use change on the evapotranspiration regime is assessed for the Tyne Basin in NE England, using an approach of physically based modelling.

TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of climate change on runoff and soil moisture in 28 Australian catchments are simulated using a hydrologic daily rainfall-runoff model using a GCM enhanced greenhouse experiments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the vacuum distillation method of extracting soil water for stable isotope analysis was tested for three different types of soil characterized by high water content: (1) pure sand, (2) cambisol with high organic matter content, developed on calcareous sandstone under temperate climatic conditions (Austria), and (3) tropical latosol poor in organic matter, developing on sandy clay sediment (Brazil).

TL;DR: Among 24 monthly water balance models, one proved to be suitable for all 75 Belgian basins studied as discussed by the authors, however, their respective parameter values proved to differ significantly, and even if the requirements for 'goodness' are relaxed, a limited number of basins are badly modelled even by kriging.

TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed model for real-time rainfall runoff simulation during floods is presented, called Distributed Basin Simulator (DBSIM) is based on the detailed topographical information provided by Digital Elevation Models (DEM).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the evaporation and infiltration of tropical rainforest and pasture, near to Manaus, Brazil from October 1990 to February 1992 using measurements of soil water storage over a depth of 2 m.

TL;DR: In this paper, a regional frequency analysis of annual maximum streamflow drought was presented as a method for investigating the spatial and temporal variability of droughts, and three geographical regions in New Zealand with different climate and physical properties were used in the study.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-pore-region (or multi-region) concept is proposed to account for pore structures as well as the resultant widely distributed pore water velocities in macroporous media.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the effects of land use change from natural forest to agricultural land on large-scale catchment runoff in southern Africa, using a model to predict the monthly levels of Lake Malawi.

TL;DR: In this paper, the significance of spatial distribution of rainfall and its effects on spatial correlation functions are reviewed and a number of statistical terms and properties are explained in depth with reference to the theory of variograms originally adopted in geostatistics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the hydrologic response at different scales during a period of increasing antecedent wetness in a steep, humid catchment in coastal Japan, and found that macropore flow comprised more than 25% of total subsurface flow during the peak and recession limbs of hydrographs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the relative cumulative frequency distribution of residence times for an entire groundwatershed under steady-state conditions and assuming Dupuit-Forchheimer flow.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of 2 years of study demonstrates the peculiar feature of intertropical glaciers: that accumulation and melting periods coincide during the rainy season, indicating that they are greatly affected by climatic changes peculiar to tropical climates.

TL;DR: In this article, seasonal cyclic movement of soil water in the top 60-80 cm active zone tends to produce a consistent stable isotope composition for the soil water below the active zone in different seasons.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the transpiration in a mixed old stand of sub-boreal forest in the Norunda region (central Sweden) on the basis of direct measurement of sap flow rate in 24 large Scots pine and Norway spruce trees in July and August 1993.

TL;DR: Rodriguez-Iturbe et al. as discussed by the authors used the Rodriguez-lturbe rainfall model to simulate series of hourly rainfall data which were consistent with recorded daily totals, and then compared the daily totals between all observed and all simulated 3 day sequences.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that the more prominent canopy tree crowns create lateral rainshadows and intercept greater volumes of rainwater per unit projected crown area than less prominent neighboring canopy trees under inclined rainfall conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual model of the relationship between incoming hydraulic conditions and spatial patterns of suspended sediment at a stream confluence is evaluated using suspended-sediment data collected at a small stream in east-central Illinois, USA.
