Historical streamflow in the federal state of Lower Saxony, Germany was analyzed for potential trends and breakpoints. The investigation was based on time series of daily mean discharge values in the periods 1951 to 2005, ...

Optimal spatial assessment of short-time step precipitation for hydrological modelling is still an important research question considering the poor observation networks for high time resolution data. The main objective of ...

The stochastic simulation of rainfall time series can profit from the application of multivariate models called copulas. One of these applications is based on events and copulas are used for modelling the joint behaviour ...

The characteristics of low flow periods, primarily their low dynamics in space and time (as opposed to high flows), may allow for prediction using simple statistical dependencies on climatic and regional characteristics ...

For the design and operation of urban drainage systems with numerical simulation models, long, continuous precipitation time series with high temporal resolution are necessary. Suitable observed time series are rare. As a ...

Many fields of hydrology, water resources management and environmental sciences require climate information with various temporal resolutions for the modelling of different processes. These data are usually recorded as ...

Daily hydrological models are commonly used to study changes in flood peaks due to climate change. Although they often lead to an underestimation of absolute floods, it is assumed that future flood peaks in smaller mesoscale ...

The record length and quality of instantaneous peak flows (IPFs) have a great influence on flood design, but these high resolution flow data are not always available. The primary aim of this study is to compare different ...

For the analysis of climate impact on flood flows and flood frequency in macroscale river basins, hydrological models can be forced by several sets of hourly long-term climate time series. Considering the large number of ...

Decision support for planning and management of water resources needs to consider many target criteria simultaneously like water availability, water quality, flood protection, agriculture, ecology, etc. Hydrologic models ...
