  1. 1. Improving stream flow estimation in a montane rainforest stream in Costa Rica : The impact of adding a high flow estimation

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Martin Dahlin; [2022]
    Keywords : Streamflow information; Manning s estimation; rating curve; hydrographs; Vattenföring; avbördningskurva; hydrograf; Mannings ekvation;

    Abstract : A key piece of information necessary for water management is accurate streamflow information. However, the available data and resources for gathering information vary around the world. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of Streamflow Predictions in an Ungauged Swedish Catchment : A Study of Håga River

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Hanna Pierrau; [2022]
    Keywords : Hydrology; Predictions in ungauged basins; Hydrological signatures; rainfall-runoff modelling; HBV; S-HYPE; hydrologi; uppskattningar i områden utan mätstation; hydrologiska signaturer; modellering; HBV; S-HYPE;

    Abstract : The Håga river, located west of the Swedish city Uppsala, is currently without a proper gauging station. Knowing the streamflow is nonetheless important to, for example, be able to calculate the nutrient transport in the river. READ MORE

  4. 3. Behind the early warning: Improving impact-based forecasting of riverine floods in Malawi using passive microwave remote sensing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lone Mokkenstorm; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Early Warning; Riverine Floods; Humanitarian Work; Impact-based Forecasting; Malawi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates whether freely available, coarse-resolution, Passive Microwave Remote Sensing (PMRS) data (37 GHz) can be effectively used for early warning systems for floods in Malawi. The Shire River Basin in Chikwawa and the smaller-scale North Rukuru River Basin in Karonga were studied using two alternative, ratio-based satellite indices that make use of the signal difference between wet and dry pixel cells: The m index and the rcmc index.

  5. 4. Accuracy in Swedish unsegmented and segmented rating curves : Accounting for measurement uncertainty and heteroscedasticity

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Mattias Sörengård; [2016]
    Keywords : Rating curve; Non-linear-regression; Projection variable method; river discharge; gauging station; stage; uncertainty; validation; Overparametrization; overfit; hydrology;

    Abstract : River discharge estimation is the basic hydrological information for most hydrological applications in various socioeconomic planning. Increasing the accuracy of the traditional rating curve in relation to river discharge estimation would be very valuable to hydrological applications. READ MORE

  6. 5. The water balance in Graminha Basin

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Beatrice Aulin; Henriksson Linnea; [2014]
    Keywords : MFS; Water Balance; Atlantic Rainforest; Iracambi;

    Abstract : Today, only 7 % of the Atlantic Rainforest, that once covered Brazil, remains scattered across the southern parts of the country. As the forest is rapidly disappearing, the government of Brazil has emerging interest of preservation. Thus more and more areas are turned into national parks and reserves. READ MORE
