As the world is changing, mainly due to climate change, extreme events such as floods and droughts are becoming more frequent and severe. Considering this, the predictive modeling of flow in small mountain catchments that are particularly vulnerable to flooding is critical. Rainfall data sources such as rain gauges, meteorological radars, and satel...

Buildings in Poland are still constructed using technologies and methods created decades ago, even though many new technologies can be applied. Such an approach in the construction process is not sufficient to ensure the sustainable development of the world. Therefore, there is a great need for implementing new, innovative technical, economic, and...

Precipitation is a key variable in the hydrological cycle and essential input data in rainfall-runoff modeling. Rain gauge data are considered as one of the best data sources of precipitation but before further use, the data must be spatially interpolated. The process of interpolation is particularly challenging over mountainous areas due to comple...

In the changing world, the construction sector undergoes significant changes. New innovative technologies must be introduced, so this sector meets the requirements of sustainable development. In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of various aspects of methods and techniques that when applied help to achieve the ambitious goals in ter...

The poster shows results of assessment of IMERG GPM satellite precipitation products for event-based rainfall-runoff modeling in a mountainous catchment.

Precipitation is one of the essential variables in rainfall-runoff modeling. For hydrological purposes, the most commonly used data sources of precipitation are rain gauges and weather radars. Recently, multi-satellite precipitation estimates have gained importance thanks to the emergence of Integrated Multisatellite Retrievals for Global Precipita...

The quick hydrological response of mountainous watersheds is one of the primary reason for flooding. The response itself depends on the meteorological forcing and physical characteristics of the catchment. Event-based hydrological modeling can be a useful tool in the flood management, but modeling over mountainous areas is challenging due to the to...

In Poland, there are more than 5 million single-family detached houses, and 35% among them are non-insulated. In the article, we present a concept of application of the case-based reasoning (CBR) systems to support the process of energy retrofit of single-family detached houses. In the proposed CBR system, the energy retrofit process was described...

Civil engineering structures are highly responsible for the negative aspects of urbanization on the hydrological cycle. Due to the land cover change and an increase of impervious areas the risk of flooding can rise significantly. The paper presents the impact of urbanization processes on surface runoff estimation for a small mountainous catchment b...

Soil moisture (SM) is one of the key factors in the water cycle, that rules partitioning of the rainfall to surface runoff and infiltration. Despite its importance and detailed SM research in the last decade retrieval of the high resolution global SM data is still a significant scientific challenge. Launched in 2014, Sentinel-1 mission, opens new p...

Poster from the session on remote sensing of soil moisture.

Nowadays in the construction sector, there are many challenges regarding technical and economic problems as well as those associated with the impact on human health and environment. Solving these problems is not straightforward and requires the involvement of experts from different fields. Expert systems are interesting and complex solutions for th...

The authors proposed a polioptimal method for determining thermo-modernization schemes of buildings based on the theory of fuzzy sets. As optimization criteria the minimization of the total cost of thermo-modernization and maximization of energy effect were taken into account. The Excel worksheet with optimization algorithm was prepared and tested...

In this paper, authors calculated high resolution volumetric soil moisture (SM) by means of the Sentinel-1 data for the Kampinos National Park in Poland and verified obtained results. To do so, linear regression coefficients (LRC) between in-situ SM measurements and Sentinel-1 radar backscatter values were calculated. Next, LRC were applied to obta...

Digital Terrain Model is being increasingly used in environmental engineering issues. The presented application allows conversion of DTM files from TIN to raster format and combine multiple DTM files (mosaicking) into one. The precision of DTMs in overlapping areas were analyzed. In total 48 models were analyzed using 2 interpolation methods, 4 dif...
