Accurate hydrological modelling is crucial for understanding natural processes and managing water resources. However, simulation accuracy depends on the availability of field observations for calibration and validation. It is therefore critical to develop effective calibration…
Save the Date & Call for Applications – IAHS Academy 2026 We are pleased to announce that the next IAHS Academy will take place from 12–18 January 2026 at the Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo, China. 📝 The application form is now…
Navigating the complexities of global and local water resources challenges requires collaboration and mutual learning among diverse knowledge systems and disciplines. However, Western philosophical approaches to generating knowledge have prevailed in water management and hydrology,…
Flood events are among the most destructive natural hazards, requiring comprehensive risk management strategies to mitigate their impact on society and the environment. This study uses the potential of the Random Forest (RF) model to…
A framework for selecting Nature-based Solutions: applications and challenges at the catchment scale
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) aim to address natural and anthropogenic risks, enhancing ecosystem-based approaches, biodiversity, human health, and socio-economic growth. Despite the growing interest in NbS applications, their integration into landscape planning at the catchment scale…
This non-exhaustive collection of publications offers a concise overview of the scientific journey of Prof. Mauro Fiorentino — mentor, friend, and scholar who profoundly shaped the evolution of hydrology in Italy. With his original and curious approach,…
In recent years, significant advancements in geomorphic methods have provided a valuable and cost-effective alternative for large-scale flood mapping. The Geomorphic Flood Index (GFI) is one such method that has gained widespread adoption for flood…
The development of continuous river turbidity monitoring systems is essential, since it is a critical water quality metric linked to the presence of organic and inorganic suspended matter. Current monitoring practices are mainly limited by…
Image velocimetry techniques are emerging as a powerful tool for river monitoring, offering the ability to quantify surface flow dynamics while overcoming the structural limitations of traditional monitoring systems. However, their performances remain highly sensitive…
We would like to thank all applicants for their interest in the BEP call. The top 25 selected participants have been identified and will be contacted shortly for formal registration. In the event of any…
The assessment of rainfall erosivity is often hindered by the limited availability of high-resolution rainfall data. A large dataset, comprising 10-minute rainfall data collected over the last two decades from 335 rain gauges across three…
🌍 Blended Executive Programme (BEP) 2025🔬 Innovative Technologies for Sustainable Water Management Organized by: University of Naples Federico II, Politecnico di Milano, Università degli Studi di Padova, Sapienza Università di Roma, Università degli Studi di Firenze,…
Eutrophication, driven by nutrient overload, monitored through Chlorophyll-a (Chla) levels in inland and coastal waters. Traditional in-situ methods faced challenges such as time consumption, labor intensity, and spatial-temporal limitations. Remote sensing and machine learning offered…
Flood events rank among the most destructive natural hazards, necessitating comprehensive risk management strategies to mitigate their impact on society and the environment. Various approaches have been developed to map flood susceptibility. However, current methods…
Water resources in Iraq are considered one of the elements most affected by climate change, especially water bodies, and the loss of water from reservoirs by evaporation is one of the most losses that occur…
