The analysis of runoff thresholds and, more in general, the identification of main mechanisms of runoff generation controlling the flood frequency distribution is investigated, by means of theoretically derived flood frequency distributions, in the framework…
The availability of new technologies for the measurement of surface elevation has addressed the lack of high-resolution elevation data, which has led to an increase in the attraction of automated procedures based on digital elevation…
Nel presente lavoro, viene analizzato il comportamento dei bacini idrografici durante eventi di piena per approfondire le dinamiche afflussi/deflussi. Le analisi sono condotte mediante simulazione idrologica in continuo utilizzando il modello DREAM accoppiato al modello…
Theoretically derived distributions allow the detection of dominant runoff generation mechanisms as key signatures of hydrologic similarity. We used two theoretically derived distributions of flood peak annual maxima: the first is the “IF” distribution, which…
Nella presente memoria vengono riportati alcuni dei risultati ottenuti dall’analisi dei dati idrologici monitorati all’interno del bacino sperimentale della Fiumarella di Corleto. Tale bacino è dotato di una strumentazione di campo che garantisce il monitoraggio…
The papers in this issue represent a selection of the presentations made at the session entitled “Climate-soil and vegetation interactions in ecological–hydrological processes” of the European Geophysical Union General Assembly. The special issue “Coupled Ecological–Hydrological…
The description of soil moisture dynamics is a challenging problem for the hydrological community, as it is governed by complex interactions between climate, soil and vegetation. Recent research has achieved significant advances in the description…
Society is facing growing environmental problems that require new research efforts to understand of the way that ecosystems operate and survive and their mutual relationships with the hydrologic cycle. This is fundamental to advance predictive…
In the present work, the role played by vegetation parameters, necessary to the hydrological distributed modeling, is investigated focusing on the correct use of remote sensing products for the evaluation of hydrological losses in the…
L’espressione “rischio idraulico” indica il pericolo di inondazione da parte di corsi d’acqua naturali o artificiali e definisce il manifestarsi di eventi di inondazione che producono danni misurabili a persone o cose (Frescura, 2007). Il…
The present paper introduces an analytical approach for the description of the soil water balance and runoff production within a schematic river basin. The model is based on a stochastic differential equation where the rainfall…
In general, different mechanisms may be identified as responsible of runoff generation during ordinary events or extraordinary events at the basin scale. In a simplified scheme these mechanisms may be represented by different runoff thresholds.…
The present paper introduces an analytical approach for the description of the soil water balance dynamics over a schematic river basin. The model is based on a stochastic differential equation where the rainfall forcing is…
Olive trees (Olea europaea L.) are commonly grown in the Mediterranean basin where prolonged droughts may occur during the vegetative period. This species has developed a series of physiological mechanisms, that can be observed in…
In the present work, we describe an extended flood risk analysis carried out in the Adige River basin in Italy. The methodologies adopted were used in a comparative approach that highlighted the limits and potentiality…
