Understanding, management and modelling of urban hydrology and its consequences for receiving waters: A state of the art
TL;DR: The ability to predict urban hydrology has also evolved, to deliver models suited to the small temporal and spatial scales typical of urban and peri-urban applications as discussed by the authors. But despite the advances, many important challenges remain.

Effects of watershed topography, soils, land use, and climate on baseflow hydrology in humid regions: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors define baseflow as the portion of streamflow that is sustained between precipitation events, fed to stream channels by delayed (usually subsurface) pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of precipitation and restoration vegetation on soil erosion in a semi-arid environment in the Loess Plateau, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper employed structural equation modelling (SEM) to systematically analyze the relative effects of precipitation and vegetation restoration on soil erosion in the Loess Plateau, China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preferential Flow Effects on Infiltration and Runoff in Grassland and Forest Soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantitatively characterize the flow pathways on forest and grassland hillslopes and quantitatively define the relevant parameters controlling surface runoff generation by using infiltration and dye tracer experiments with measurements of saturated hydraulic conductivity K sat, the structural porosity n SP, and the pore-size distribution PSD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of watershed land use and geomorphology on stream low flows during severe drought conditions in the southern Blue Ridge Mountains, Georgia and North Carolina, United States
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of land use and watershed geomorphic characteristics on low-flow variability in the southern Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and Georgia was assessed, and watershed forest cover demonstrated a consistent, significant positive relationship with low flows, despite the higher evapotranspiration rates associated with forest compared with other land covers and despite the relatively small range of disturbance in this study area.
