Due to rapid outbreaks of flash floods in hilly areas and the lack of measured data, the fast and accurate estimation of peak discharge is crucial for flash flood hazard management. Three machine learning algorithms were applied to estimate peak discharge; this estimation was compared with the results of hydrological–hydraulic models, and the results were verified with measured watershed data. In this paper, 10 hydrological and geomorphological parameters were selected to predict the flood peak discharge in 103 watersheds in Taiyi Mountain North District. The results show that the particle swarm optimization backpropagation (PSO-BP) neural network model outperforms the BP neural network and random forest regression in prediction performance. PSO-BP has a lower mean absolute error (2.51%), root mean square error (3.74%), and mean absolute percentage error (2.74%) than the other models, which indicates that PSO-BP has high prediction accuracy. Importance analysis revealed that rainfall, early impact rainfall, catchment area, and rain intensity are the key input parameters of PSO-BP. The proposed method was confirmed to be a fast and relatively accurate algorithm for estimating the peak discharge of flash floods in ungauged basins.","PeriodicalId":55040,"journal":{"name":"Hydrology Research","volume":"5 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141927904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have focused on hysteresis in the rating curve, caused by energy loss during flood propagation. However, the impact of tributary inflow on hysteresis downstream remains unclear, leading to inconsistent field observations on whether it strengthens or weakens hysteresis. In this study, we conducted flume experiments to identify the relationship between hysteresis in unsteady flow and the discharge magnitude of the tributary and the unsteady flow period in the mainstream. It was found that the discharge variations in the tributary had a larger influence on hysteresis compared to the periodical variations in the mainstream unsteady flow. Interestingly, the hysteresis of the unsteady flow had an initial strengthening followed by weakening as the tributary discharge increased. When the tributary inflow was low, the widening of the downstream cross-section sharpened the flood wave, increasing the hysteresis. However, as the tributary discharge increased to generate a backwater effect on the mainstream, the pressure gradient flattened flood waves, thereby weakening the hysteresis. This study improves our understanding of how tributary inflow affects flood propagation in the mainstream, offering new insights for flood prediction and control.","PeriodicalId":55040,"journal":{"name":"Hydrology Research","volume":"21 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141647009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposed a framework for coordinating drought mitigation operations across projects of various scales. First, the regulation and drought mitigation capacities of each project were analyzed, and thus critical reservoirs was identified. Subsequently, a joint regulation model for water supply, prioritizing projects based on their regulatory capacity from weak to strong, was established. An optimization model is then developed to determine the drought-limited levels for critical reservoirs, aiming to minimize water shortages. This model facilitates temporal coordination of water resources to prevent severe water shortages with frequent mild water shortages. Results in the Chuxionglucheng District of Chuxiong, Yunnan Province, during the severe drought period from 2009 to 2013, demonstrates significant reductions in water shortage. Specifically, the maximum shortage ratio decreased from 59 to 45% for agriculture and from 52 to 8% for industry. Moreover, emergency measures for drought mitigation were compared and recommend for regions with weak projects regulation. Overall, this framework offers a systematic approach to enhancing drought resilience across diverse water conservancy projects in severe drought conditions.","PeriodicalId":55040,"journal":{"name":"Hydrology Research","volume":" 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141674644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Potable denotes the purified water that is free from all contaminations. This analysis gives an absolute solution whereas the demand for drinking water is a growing problem where the multiple-level estimations are essential to use the available water resources efficiently.

This study aims to estimate the spatiotemporal distribution of recharge in the upper Awash sub-basin where the groundwater is experiencing intensive abstraction for domestic, industrial, and irrigation water uses. We estimated the spatial and long-term average monthly, seasonal, and annual groundwater recharge using a GIS-based spatially distributed water balance WetSpass-M model. Distributed grid maps of physical parameters (land-use land cover, soil, and slope) and monthly climatological records (rainfall, maximum and minimum temperature, wind speed) were used as model inputs. The WetSpass-M model estimated recharge is validated with the independently computed recharge using the automated digital filtering baseflow separation method. Attributed mainly to variability in soil texture and land use, the annual precipitation (1,032 mm) is distributed as evapotranspiration (45%), surface runoff (42%), and groundwater recharge (11%). Forest and grass areas with loamy sand, have high recharge, while built-up areas with clay soil have low recharge. August to September is estimated to have the largest recharge, while November to December has the lowest. Understanding the spatial and seasonal variability of groundwater recharge is important for sustainable utilization, proper management, and planning of groundwater resources.","PeriodicalId":55040,"journal":{"name":"Hydrology Research","volume":"66 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141358431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Model evaluation is conducted using accuracy and F1 score metrics, and ultimately, the classification probabilities are employed as the groundwater vulnerability to nitrate index. The results indicate that the RF model outperforms the other two models, achieving the highest accuracy (92.9% for testing), kappa value (0.857 for testing), and area under the curve (0.948 for testing). Furthermore, the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) interpreter revealed that aquifer conductivity, lithology, agricultural activities, areas with high-intensity development, and groundwater recharge are the most influential indicators of groundwater vulnerability. The final groundwater vulnerability level distribution map, with a resolution of 1 km × 1 km, reveals that high and extremely high vulnerability levels are concentrated in areas with high-intensity urban development and karst trough valleys in the southeastern, northeastern, and central urban areas.

However, these algorithms generally lack the ability for easy interpretability of the results by users. In this study, we compare six different explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) algorithms that help understand the effect of input data on the simulation results. The methods are explored on two distinct approaches for streamflow modeling using the long short-term memory (LSTM) model: a single model approach using only meteorological forcing data and a regional approach including also static catchment attributes. To gain further insight into the internal dynamics of the LSTM models, the relationship between cell states and soil moisture is investigated. A strong correlation suggests that the LSTM models inherently capture the concept of soil moisture as a catchment-scale storage mechanism. The XAI methods are applied to derive a timestep of influence, revealing how many days of input data are relevant for the model output. All XAI methods result in similar seasonal patterns in the timestep of influence, suggesting that the methods are comparable. Setting soil moisture dynamics in context to seasonal development of the timestep of influence suggests resetting LSTM as soon as soil moisture saturation occurs.","PeriodicalId":55040,"journal":{"name":"Hydrology Research","volume":"60 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141102179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The water level exhibited an overall decline mainly due to river erosion when the discharge was lower than the CCD. The water level exhibited a nonsignificant upward trend mainly due to increased river resistance (7–20%) when the discharge was higher than the CCD.
