Delineation of flood-prone areas in cliffed coastal regions through a procedure based on the geomorphic flood index
The geomorphic flood index (GFI) method provides a good representation of flood-prone areas. However, the method does not account for floodwater transfers in undefined interbasins (UIBs), which represent intercluded small…
Modeling Antecedent Soil Moisture to Constrain Rainfall Thresholds for Shallow Landslides Occurrence
Rainfall-triggered shallow landslide events have caused losses of human lives and millions of euros in damage to property in all parts of the world. The need to prevent such hazards…

The GEOframe-NewAge Modelling System Applied in a Data Scarce Environment
In this work, the semi-distributed hydrological modeling system GEOframe-NewAge was integrated with a web-based decision support system implemented for the Civil Protection Agency of the Basilicata region, Italy. The aim…
Exploiting the use of physical information for the calibration of a lumped hydrological model
In hydrological modelling, the challenge is to identify an optimal strategy to exploit tools and available observations in order to enhance model reliability. The increasing availability of data promotes the…
Calibration of a parsimonious distributed ecohydrological daily model in a data-scarce basin by exclusively using the spatio-temporal variation of NDVI
Ecohydrological modeling studies in developing countries, such as sub-Saharan Africa, often face the problem of extensive parametrical requirements and limited available data. Satellite remote sensing data may be able to…

Minimalist agro-hYdrological model for Sustainable IRRigation management – soil moisture and crop dynamics – MY SIRR v.3.0 is a software written in python programming language with a simple Graphical User Interface…
Hydrological Prediction for Hydropower Production
The present paper describes a hydrological model aimed at improving prediction systems for a hydropower production plant. A significant merit of the work lies in the model structure that incorporates…
A physically based approach for the estimation of root-zone soil moisture from surface measurements
In the present work, we developed a new formulation for the estimation of the soil moisture in the root zone based on the measured value of soil moisture at the…
Effects of morphology on global solar radiation and potential evapotranspiration
In this work we present an application of two different models for the calculation of extraterrestrial solar radiation and main components of surface radiation balance under clear sky conditions. These…
Influences of Leaf Area Index estimations on the soil water balance predictions in Mediterranean regions
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…
Peak runoff contributing area as hydrological signature of the probability distribution of floods
For the analysis of hydrological extremes and particularly in flood prediction, deeper investigation is needed on the relative effects of different hydrological processes acting at the basin scale in different…
Scaling characteristics of spatial patterns of soil moisture from distributed modelling
Characterizing the spatial dynamics of soil moisture fields is a key issue in hydrology, offering an avenue to improve our understanding of complex land surface–atmosphere interactions. In this paper, the…
Analysis on flood generation processes by means of a continuous simulation model
In the present research, we exploited a continuous hydrological simulation to investigate on key variables responsible of flood peak formation. With this purpose, a distributed hydrological model (DREAM) is used…
