Given the increasing non-stationarity of hydrological processes largely due to Climate Change (CC), it is essential to create more accurate methods. The inherent spatiotemporal variability of hydrological processes reaches its maximum when it comes to rainfall process. Rainfall is typically divided up into events in hydrological studies, but this d...

The world currently faces significant hydrologic changes associated with global climate change, such as changes in precipitation patterns, rising surface temperature, and increases in the frequency and intensity of floods and droughts, which will affect the design capacity and operating characteristics of dams/reservoirs. This brings new challenges...

Such as changes in precipitation patterns, rising surface temperature, and increases in frequency and intensity of floods and droughts, will affect the design capacity and operating characteristics of dams/reservoirs.

Disastrous losses related to high-flow events have increased dramatically over the past decades largely due to an increase in flood-prone regions settlements and shift in hydrological trends largely due to Climate Change. To mitigate the societal impact of hydrological and hydraulic extremes, knowledge of the processes leading to these extreme even...

This research introduces an innovative framework aimed at developing a risk assessment to analyse the breaching hydraulic control of non-impounding reservoirs for irrigation purposes, called irrigation reservoirs (IRs). This approach comprises an analytical method based on several empirical formulas where the one that best fits the different geomet...

Restoration of urban rivers´ systems is a multidisciplinary field that comprise the analysis of urbanism, hydrodynamics, hydraulics, flooding, environmental, ecological, among others. This research proposes an innovative and robust methodology for the integration of environmental fluvial assessment with flooding mitigation analysis in the context o...

Acquisition, management and/or use of spatial information are crucial for the quality of water resources studies. In this sense, several geomatic methods arise at the service of water modelling, aiming the generation of cartographic products, especially in terms of 3D models and orthophotos. They may also perform as tools for problem solving and de...
