Current research issues related to post-wildfire runoff and erosion processes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify and quantify functional relations between metrics of fire effects and soil hydraulic properties that will better represent the dynamic and transient conditions after a wildfire and determine the interaction between burned landscapes and temporally and spatially variable meso-scale precipitation, which is often the primary driver of post-wildfire runoff and erosion processes.

Catchment classification: Empirical analysis of hydrologic similarity based on catchment function in the eastern USA
K. A. Sawicz,Thorsten Wagener,Murugesu Sivapalan,Murugesu Sivapalan,Peter Troch,G. A. Carrillo +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a heterogeneous dataset of 280 catchments located in the Eastern US to understand hydrologic similarity in a 6-dimensional signature space across a region with strong environmental gradients.

Surface-subsurface flow modeling with path-based runoff routing, boundary condition-based coupling, and assimilation of multisource observation data
TL;DR: In this article, a distributed physically based model incorporating novel approaches for the representation of surface-subsurface processes and interactions is presented, with several options for identifying flow directions, for separating channel cells from hillslope cells, and for representing stream channel hydraulic geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Downward approach to hydrological prediction
TL;DR: The downward approach as mentioned in this paper is a necessary counterpoint to the mechanistic "reductionist" approach that dominates current hydrological model development and provides a systematic framework to learning from data, including the testing of hypotheses at every step of analysis.

Quantitative analysis of watershed geomorphology
TL;DR: In this paper, two general classes of descriptive numbers are presented: linear scale measurements and dimensionless numbers, usually angles or ratios of length measures, whereby the shapes of analogous units can be compared irrespective of scale.

The hydraulic geometry of stream channels and some physiographic implications
TL;DR: In this paper, the hydraulic characteristics of stream channels are measured quantitatively and vary with discharge as simple power functions at a given river cross section, and similar variations in relation to discharge exist among the cross sections along the length of a river under the condition that discharge at all points is equal in frequency of occurrence.
Book
Open channel flow
TL;DR: The importance of basic principles is recognized in this article in two ways : first, by devoting the opening chapters to a fairly leisurely discussion of introductory principles, including a recapitulation of the underlying arguments derived from the parent subject of fluid mechanics; and second, by takingnevery opportunity in the later chapters to refer back to this earlier material in order to clarify particular applications as they arise.

Scale issues in hydrological modelling: A review
TL;DR: A framework is provided for scaling and scale issues in hydrology and a more holistic perspective dealing with dimensional analysis and similarity concepts is addressed, which deals with complex processes in a much simpler fashion.
