A modified Green-and-Ampt model is formulated to quantify infiltration on sloping terrain underlain by homogeneous soil wetted by surficial water application. This paper’s theory for quantifying infiltration relies on the mathematical statement of the coupled...

Characteristics of Sediment Resuspension in Lake Taihu, China: A Wave Flume Study

10.1016/j.jhydrol.2018.04.026

2018-04-10

Lake Taihu is a typical shallow lake which frequently happens sediment resuspension induced by wind-induced waves. The experiments are carried on to simulate the wave disturbance processes in wave flume by setting a series of wave periods (1.2s, 1.5s, 1.8s) a...

Remote sensing, hydrological modeling and in situ observations in snow cover research: a review

10.1016/j.jhydrol.2018.04.027

2018-04-09

Snow is an important component of the hydrological cycle. As a major part of the cryosphere, snow cover also represents a valuable terrestrial water resource. In the context of climate change, the dynamics of snow cover play a crucial role in rebalancing the ...

Surface – ground water interactions and hydrogeochemical evolution in a fluvio-deltaic setting: The case study of the Pinios River delta

10.1016/j.jhydrol.2018.03.067

2018-04-04

River deltas sustain important ecosystems with rich biodiversity and large biomass, as well as human populations via the availability of water and food sources. Anthropogenic activities, such as urbanization, tourism and agriculture, may pose threats to river...

3D mapping, hydrodynamics and modelling of the freshwater-brine mixing zone in salt flats similar to the Salar de Atacama (Chile)

10.1016/j.jhydrol.2018.04.010

2018-04-04

Salt flat brines are a major source of minerals and especially lithium. Moreover, valuable wetlands with delicate ecologies are also commonly present at the margins of salt flats. Therefore, the efficient and sustainable exploitation of the brines they contai...

A Stacking Ensemble Learning Framework for Annual River Ice Breakup Dates

10.1016/j.jhydrol.2018.04.008

2018-04-04

River ice break-up dates (BDs) are not merely a proxy indicator of climate variability and change, but directly related to the local ice-caused flooding management. A framework of stacking ensemble learning for annual river ice BDs was developed, which includ...

Satellite Remote Sensing Estimation of River Discharge: Application to the Yukon River Alaska

10.1016/j.jhydrol.2018.04.005

2018-04-04

A methodology based on general hydraulic relations for rivers has been developed to estimate the discharge (flow rate) of rivers using satellite remote sensing observations. The estimates of discharge, flow depth, and flow velocity are derived from remotely o...

Evaluating the hydraulic and transport properties of peat soil using pore network modeling and X-Ray micro computed tomography

10.1016/j.jhydrol.2018.04.007

2018-04-04

Micro-scale properties of peat pore space and their influence on hydraulic and transport properties of peat soils have been given little attention so far. Characterizing the variation of these properties in a peat profile can increase our knowledge on the pro...

Runoff Sensitivity to Climate Change in the Nile River Basin

10.1016/j.jhydrol.2018.04.004

2018-04-03

In data scarce basins, such as the Nile River Basin (NRB) in Africa, constraints related to data availability, quality, and access often complicate attempts to estimate runoff sensitivity using conventional methods. In this paper, we show that by integrating ...

Modeling sediment concentration of rill flow

10.1016/j.jhydrol.2018.04.009

2018-04-03

Accurate estimation of sediment concentration is essential to establish physically-based erosion models. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of flow discharge (Q), slope gradient (S), flow velocity (V), shear stress (τ), stream power (ω)...
