A unifying synthesis of the hydrologic response of a catchment to surface runoff is attempted
by linking the instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) with the geomorphologic parameters of a …

The Mekong River Basin, site of the biggest inland fishery in the world, is undergoing massive
hydropower development. Planned dams will block critical fish migration routes between …

Ecohydrology of Water-Controlled Ecosystems addresses the connections between the
hydrologic cycle and plant ecosystems, with special emphasis on arid and semi-arid climates. …

A methodology for the design of precipitation networks is formulated. The network problem
is discussed in its general conception, and then focus is made on networks to provide …

Water is at the core of the most difficult sustainability challenges facing humans in the modern
era, involving feedbacks across multiple scales, sectors, and agents. We suggest that a …

Three principles of optimal energy expenditure are used to derive the most important
structural characteristics observed in drainage networks: (1) the principle of minimum energy …

The instantaneous unit hydrograph is conceived as a random function of climate and
geomorphology varying with the characteristics of the rainfall excess. The probability density …

Seemingly unrelated empirical hydrologic laws and several experimental facts related to the
fractal geometry of the river basin are shown to find a natural explanation into a simple finite …

A procedure for the synthesis of processes exhibiting temporal and spatial variability is
presented. The method involves the addition of harmonics of random frequencies that are …

The impact of climate fluctuations can be observed in the dynamics of vegetation and most
particularly in the sensitive environment of savannas. In this paper we present a model for the …
