Flood Risk in Urban Areas: Modelling, Management and Adaptation to Climate Change. A Review

Luís Cea, Pierfranco Costabile · 18 Mar 2022

The modelling and management of flood risk in urban areas are increasingly recognized as global challenges. The complexity of these issues is a consequence of the existence of several distinct sources of risk, including not only fluvial, tidal and coastal flooding, but also exposure to urban runoff and local drainage failure, and the various management…

Evaluating Three Hydrological Distributed Watershed Models: MIKE-SHE, APEX, SWAT

Golmar Golmohammadi, Shiv O. Prasher, Ali Madani et al. · 28 May 2014

Selecting the right model to simulate a specific watershed has always been a challenge, and field testing of watersheds could help researchers to use the proper model for their purposes. The performance of three popular Geographic Information System (GIS)-based watershed simulation models (European Hydrological System Model (MIKE SHE), Agricultural Policy/Environmental Extender (APEX) and Soil and…

Comprehensive Overview of Flood Modeling Approaches: A Review of Recent Advances

A Review on Evapotranspiration Estimation in Agricultural Water Management: Past, Present, and Future

Susantha Wanniarachchi, Ranjan Sarukkalige · 8 Jul 2022

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a major component of the water cycle and agricultural water balance. Estimation of water consumption over agricultural areas is important for agricultural water resources planning, management, and regulation. It leads to the establishment of a sustainable water balance, mitigates the impacts of water scarcity, as well as prevents the overusing and wasting…
