Various models have been proposed in the literature, but so far no papers have compared the performance of multiple models across multiple full-size green roofs. This paper compared 4 models: the conceptual models Urbis and SWMM and the physically-based models Hydrus-1D and Mike SHE, across two field sites (Lyon, France and Umeå, Sweden) and two calibration periods for each site. The uncertainty and accuracy of model predictions were dependent on the selected calibration site and period. Overall model predictions from the simple conceptual model Urbis were least accurate and most uncertain; predictions from SWMM and Mike SHE were jointly the best in terms of raw percentage observations covered by their flow prediction intervals, but the uncertainty in the predictions in SWMM was smaller. However, predictions from Hydrus were more accurate in terms of how well the observations conformed to probabilistic flow predictions. Mike SHE performed best in terms of total runoff volume. In Urbis, SWMM and Hydrus uncertainty in model predictions was almost completely driven by random uncertainty, while parametric uncertainty played a significant role in Mike SHE. Parameter identifiability and most likely parameter values determined with the DREAM Bayesian algorithm were found to be inconsistent across calibration periods in all models, raising questions about the generalizability of model applications. Calibration periods where rainfall retention was highly variable between events were more informative for parameter values in all models.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36948,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrology X","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.hydroa.2021.100093","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42850351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To do so they rely on experience and intuition to adjust the inputs, state variables, and parameters of hydrologic models. NWS hydrologists use the term “modifiers” to refer collectively to these adjustments. This paper demonstrates the development and application of tools (statistical and graphical) to aid operational hydrologists in the achievement of accurate flood forecasts. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) identifies the relative contribution to forecast uncertainty of each modifier. Heat map visualizations illustrate for operational hydrologists the basin, lead-time, and season-specific effects of their modifiers choices. The tools provide operational hydrologists with insight into which of three commonly applied modifiers (precipitation, soil moisture, and unit hydrograph shape) are most likely to provide improvement in flood forecast accuracy. The tools are demonstrated for a case study of four watersheds within in the Ohio River Valley, using data for flood events sampled from 1990 to 2018. The findings of this research show that operational hydrologists in the Ohio River Basin would do well apply no modifiers in the winter (leaving hydrologic input variables and parameters at baseline values). And though the forecast might be improved by real-time adjustments to the unit hydrograph in summer months, recommendations for particular unit hydrograph modification levels cannot be made with confidence. These findings call into question the modifier adjustment program as a standard process. In the evaluated cases, modifiers do not systematically improve flood forecasts. Improvement may be more efficiently achieved through better calibration of hydrologic models or techniques for reduction of precipitation uncertainty.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36948,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrology X","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.hydroa.2020.100073","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72119545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similarly, regarding shallow aquifers with low groundwater saturated zone thicknesses, such as in Davos (Canton Grisons), groundwater temperatures will strongly be influenced by changes in groundwater recharge regimes. In contrast, groundwater temperature changes within deep aquifers with large groundwater saturated zone thicknesses, such as in Biel/Bienne (Canton Bern), or in some cases in aquifers with large distances from the land surface to the groundwater table and extended unsaturated zones, such as in Winterthur (Canton Zurich), are strongly attenuated and can only be expected over long time periods.</p><p>In the context of the presented research we hypothesized that quantitative groundwater recharge and the associated temperature imprinting of aquifers is primarily determined by infiltrating surface waters (i.e. “river-fed aquifers”).

Water demand is projected to grow in the future and climate change is expected to reduce supply. To adapt, water managers need robust estimates of future regional water supply to support management decisions. To address this need, we estimate future streamflow in seven water resource regions in the southwestern U.S. using a new SPAtially Referenced Regressions On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) streamflow model. We present streamflow projections corresponding to input data from seven climate models and two greenhouse gas Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP4.5 and 8.5) for three, thirty-year intervals centered on the 2030s, 2050s, and 2080s, and for a historical thirty year interval centered on the 1990s. Across water resource regions, about half of the RCP4.5 models (51%) and two thirds of the RCP8.5 models (67%) indicate decreases in streamflow in the 2080s relative to the historical period. Models project maximum decreases in streamflow of 36–80% in all water resource regions for all periods and RCPs relative to historical streamflow, and maximum streamflow decreases of up to 20–45% in the 2080s at sites along the Colorado River used for measuring compliance with interstate and international water agreements. Headwaters are projected to experience the greatest declines, with substantial downstream implications. Among these estimates, the streamflows from models forced with RCP8.5 tend to be lower than those forced with RCP4.5. Not all climate models, times, and RCPs project widespread streamflow declines. The most ubiquitous streamflow increases are projected to occur in the 2030s under RCP4.5. Later time periods and enhanced greenhouse gas forcings indicate smaller regions of streamflow increase and lower accumulated streamflows, suggesting that limiting or reducing greenhouse gas concentrations could support future water availability. Although some possible streamflow increases are promising, the modest and spatially limited increases in streamflow projected for later time periods are still unlikely to be sufficient to meet the projected water demand. These results inform the likelihood of future water agreement compliance, and support developing strategies to balance water supply and demand.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36948,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrology X","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.hydroa.2021.100074","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72119544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, we propose a new <em>in-situ</em> degassing method, in which membrane contactors are used to degas the groundwater directly in the well and gas is collected at the surface. This way, field work is facilitated, groundwater system disturbance is minimized, and the gas sample is collected at a specific depth.

The minimal borehole diameter is 7.5 cm for the prototype presented in this research but can easily be reduced to smaller diameters. In a case study, we compare the results obtained with the new passive method with those from a conventional packer setup sampling. Additionally, ³H/³He samples were collected for both sampling regimes and the dating results were compared with those from ⁸⁵Kr. A good agreement between tracer ages is demonstrated and the age stratigraphy is consistent with the expected age distribution for a porous unconfined aquifer.

The Usumacinta River in southeastern Mexico provides an opportunity to study the anthropogenic driver of tropical forest conversion in isolation, as the long meteorological and discharge records capture the river’s response to large-scale agricultural expansion without interference from development activities such as dams or channel modifications. We analyse continuous daily time series of precipitation, temperature, and discharge to identify long-term trends, and employ a novel approach to disentangle the signal of deforestation by normalising daily discharges by 90-day mean precipitation volumes from the contributing area in order to account for climatic variability. We also identify an anthropogenic signature of tropical forest conversion at the intra-annual scale, reproduce this signal using a distributed hydrological model (VMOD), and demonstrate that the continued conversion of tropical forest to agricultural land use will further exacerbate large-scale flooding. We find statistically significant increasing trends in annual minimum, mean, and maximum discharges that are not evident in either precipitation or temperature records, with mean monthly discharges increasing between 7% and 75% in the past decades. Model results demonstrate that forest cover loss is responsible for raising the 10-year return peak discharge by 25%, while the total conversion of forest to agricultural use would result in an additional 18% rise.
