Examining trends of hydro-meteorological extremes in the Shire River Basin in Malawi KU Leuven
© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Malawi experiences frequent floods and droughts and these hydrological extremes kill and displace people and damage infrastructure. In recent years, the trend of these extreme events has increased in frequency and magnitude and has threatened socio-economic development of the country. Analysis of trends and frequency of hydro-meteorological extremes that cause floods and droughts is very vital in understanding the ...
On the correlation between precipitation and potential evapotranspiration climate change signals for hydrological impact analyses KU Leuven
© 2019, © 2019 IAHS. State-of-the-art hydrological climate impact assessment involves ensemble approaches to address uncertainties. For precipitation, a wide range of climate model runs is available. However, for particular meteorological variables used for the calculation of potential evapotranspiration (ET o ), availability of climate model runs is limited. It is preferred that climate model runs are considered coupled when calculating changes ...
Investigating regionalization techniques for large-scale hydrological modelling KU Leuven
This work investigates regionalization techniques for large-scale model applications in the frame of a pan-European assessment of water resources covering approx. 740,000 km2 in Western Europe. Using the SWAT platform, four variants of the similarity based regionalization approach were compared. The first two involved unsupervised clustering to define hydrological regions before performing hydrological model calibration, whereas the last two ...
Climate or land cover variations: what is driving observed changes in river peak flows? A data-based attribution study KU Leuven
© 2019. This work is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. Climate change and land cover changes are influencing the hydrological regime of rivers worldwide. In Flanders (Belgium), the intensification of the hydrological cycle caused by climate change is projected to cause more flooding in winters, and land use and land cover changes could amplify these effects by, for example, making runoff on paved surfaces faster. ...
