Simulation results obtained from interfacing a hydrological model with a hydrogeochemical model are used to explain the increase of Ca2+ + Mg2+, alkalinity, and pH in a progressively buffered stream system in the Turkey Lakes Watershed, Ontario. Results from the model, which were calibrated with observed data for 1981, were confirmed with those from 1982, 1983, and 1984. The results further supported the hypothesis that the increases of the groundwater input of Ca into the lower streams contributed to the increase of alkalinity and pH in the downstream lakes which appeared to have caused a corresponding increase in the biological primary productivity in these lakes.

<p>Irrigation modernization, here defined as the replacement of traditional flood irrigation systems by pressurized drip-irrigation technology, has been widely promoted with the aim to move towards a more sustainable use of freshwater resources in irrigated agriculture. However, the scale sensitivity of irrigation efficiency challenged the predominantly positive value attributed to irrigation modernization and asked for an integrated evaluation of the technological change at various scales. The aim of this study is therefore to contribute to an improved understanding of the hydrological functioning in a landscape under irrigation modernization. We used local field observations to propose a regional scale modeling approach that allowed to specifically simulate the difference in water balance as a function of irrigation method and crop type. The approach focused on the modification of the spatial input data and had therefore the benefit of being relatively independent of the final choice of the hydrological model. We applied the proposed approach to the semi-arid agricultural area of Valencia (Spain), where regional information about the use of irrigation technologies and irrigation volumes at farm level were available. The distributed hydrological model Tetis was chosen to simulate the daily water balance from 1994 to 2015 for an area of 913 km<sup>2</sup> at a spatial resolution of 200 m. Model simulations were based on a random selection of parameter values that were subsequently evaluated in a multi-objective calibration framework. Multiple process scales were addressed within the framework by considering the annual evaporative index, monthly groundwater level dynamics, and daily soil moisture dynamics for evaluation. Simulation results were finally analyzed with a focus on groundwater recharge, which is of particular interest for environmental challenges faced within the study area. Simulation results of groundwater recharge for the entire agricultural area indicated a considerable variability in annual recharge (values from 112 mm up to 337 mm), whereby recharge was strongly controlled by annual rainfall volumes. Annual recharge in flood-irrigated areas tended to exceed annual recharge in drip irrigated-areas except for years with above average rainfall volumes. The observed rainfall dependency could be explained by the fact that recharge in drip-irrigated areas almost exclusively occurred during rainy days, whereby a few heavy rainfall events could produce the majority of annual recharge. Our results indicated interesting differences but also commonalities in groundwater recharge for flood and drip irrigation, and therefore emphasized the importance of explicitly considering irrigation technology when modelling irrigated agricultural areas.</p>

PurposeThis paper aims to construct a simplified distributed hydrological model based on the surveyed watershed soil properties database.Design/methodology/approachThe new established model requires fewer parameters to be adjusted than needed by former hydrological models. However, the achieved stream-flow simulation results are similar and comparable to the classic hydrological models, such as the Xinanjiang model and the TOPMODEL.FindingsGood results show that the discharge and the top surface soil moisture can be simultaneously simulated, and that is the exclusive character of this new model. The stream-flow simulation results from two moderate hydrological watershed models show that the daily stream-flow simulation achieved the classic hydrological results shown in the TOPMODEL and Xinanjiang model. The soil moisture validation results show that the modeled watershed scale surface soil moisture has general agreement with the obtained measurements, with a root-mean-square error (RMSE) value of 0.04 (m3/m3) for one of the one-measurement sites and an averaged RMSE of 0.08 (m3/m3) over all measurements.Originality/valueIn this paper, a new simplified distributed hydrological model was constructed.

A flood forecasting module of the independentlydeveloped distributed hydrological model EasyDHM is developed mainly aiming to support the flood operational management. In this flood forecasting module, the accuracy of hydrological simulation is the most important task. In order to increase accuracy, some new techniques such as the management of initial parameters, management and adaptive interpolation of realtime weather information data, autocalibration of parameters, real-time flood correction, and multimodel combination techniques are introduced to this module. The module is then applied to the Nen River basin in China for confirmation of results. It is revealed that the accuracy of simulation results from the flood forecasting module is obviously higher than that from regular simulation in EasyDHM, and this independent flood module is of great importance for flood forecast and management projects.

The study presents the hydrological simulations for the Nong Son catchment, a drainage area of the Vu Gia-Thu Bon basin in the Central Vietnam, by using the NAM and XINANJIANG models. Simulation results for both models show good agreement between calculated and observed discharges at the stream gauge. The overall water balance error is less than ±10%, Nash-Sut cliffe efficiency \(R^2\)  above 0.85, and Pearson correlation coefficient \(r\) above 0.92 in both model calibration and verification period. Although NAM's performance shows a slightly better correspondence between the discharges at the stream gauge, the XINANJIANG model shows a relatively better reproduction of the runoff components (i.e. overland flow, interflow and baseflow).

Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) is a digital hydrological model which is widely used for the simulation of rainfall-runoff processes in urban catchment. SWMM is a distributed model, which means a study urban catchment needs to be divided into several irregular subcatchments first before simulation. However, most of the existing subcatchments division approaches for the SWMM are not able to capture the characteristics of the spatial variability in topography and hydro information of urban catchment. In this paper, a new subcatchment-division approach for SWMM is proposed. Two existing division method are combined together in this approach by using Geographic Information System (GIS), which can make the subcatchments fully reflect the hydrological features of the urban catchment, thus further improve the simulation results of SWMM. The actual application results show that the SWMM using the subcatchment dividing by the approach in this paper is more reliable than other existing SWMM in urban region.

<p>Forests play an important role in climate regulation due to carbon sequestration. However, a deeper understanding of forest carbon flux dynamics are often missing due to a lack of information about forest structure and species composition, especially for non-even-aged and mixed forests. In this study, we combined field inventory data of a mixed deciduous forest in Germany with an individual-based forest gap model to investigate daily carbon fluxes and to examine the role of tree size and species composition for the overall stand productivity. Simulation results show that the forest model is capable to reproduce daily eddy covariance measurements (R<sup>2</sup> of 0.73 for gross primary productivity and of 0.65 for ecosystem respiration). The simulation results showed that the forest act as a carbon sink with a net uptake of 3.2 t<sub>C</sub> ha<sup>-1</sup> yr<sup>-1</sup>  (net ecosystem productivity) and an overall gross primary productivity of 18.2  t<sub>C</sub> ha<sup>-1</sup> yr<sup>-1</sup>. At the study site, medium sized trees (30-60cm) account for the largest share (66%) of the total productivity. Small (0-30cm) and large trees (>60cm) contribute less with 8.5% and 25.5% respectively. Simulation experiments showed, that species composition showed less effect on forest productivity. Stand productivity therefore is highly depended on vertical stand structure and light climate. Hence, it is important to incorporate small scale information’s about forest stand structure into modelling studies to decrease uncertainties of carbon dynamic predictions. Experiments with such a modelling approach might help to investigate large scale mitigation strategies for climate change that takes local forest stand characteristics into account.</p>

Flooding is one of the problems that Jakarta faces every year. To handle the issue, the government took action to build the East Flood Canal. The canal construction is expected to reduce flooding, especially in the east and north region of Jakarta. However, the construction did not make the area immediately free of flood risk. Previous study (Susanti, 2017) showed that even with the existence of the East Flood Canal, potential inundations may still happen, specifically in the Cakung Lama area. In 2017, there were still several inundation points in the Sunter area, especially in Kelapa Gading. This research aims to identify the cause of inundations in the area by evaluating channel capacity in the micro drainage system in Kelapa Gading using hydrological model HEC-RAS 4.1.0 and WinTR. The simulation results showed that several channels in the system cannot accommodate the inflow, hence causing inundation in some areas in the Kelapa Gading area. According to the simulation results, it can be concluded that the micro drainage system in Kelapa Gading is not effective to accommodate the inflow.
