MEASURED lysimeter evapotranspiration of Alta fescue grass (a cool season grass) is taken as an index of reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo). An equation is presented that estimates ETo from measured values of daily or mean values of maximum and minimum temperature. This equation is compared wit...

Abstract Risk management has reduced vulnerability to floods and droughts globally 1,2 , yet their impacts are still increasing 3 . An improved understanding of the causes of changing impacts is therefore needed, but has been hampered by a lack of empirical data 4,5 . On the basis of a global datase...

Abstract. There is an increasing need for strategic global assessments of flood risks in current and future conditions. In this paper, we propose a framework for global flood risk assessment for river floods, which can be applied in current conditions, as well as in future conditions due to climate ...

Abstract Flood is a natural but inevitable phenomenon occurring over the period of time. It not only damages the life, property and resources, but also hampers the economy of a nation. In this paper, an attempt has been made to delineate flood vulnerability areas for Kulik river basin through freque...

The Ganga‐Brahmaputra accounts for ∼25% of the total amount of freshwater received by the Bay of Bengal. Using daily in situ river discharge data along with altimetry‐derived river heights, the present study aims to produce a monthly data set of altimetry‐derived Ganga‐Brahmaputra River discharge at...

It is necessary to improve our understanding of the exchange of dissolved constituents between surface and subsurface waters in river systems in order to better evaluate the fate of water‐borne contaminants and nutrients and their effects on water quality and aquatic ecosystems. Here we present a mo...

Abstract. Google's operational flood forecasting system was developed to provide accurate real-time flood warnings to agencies and the public with a focus on riverine floods in large, gauged rivers. It became operational in 2018 and has since expanded geographically. This forecasting system consists...

A relatively new approach, artificial neural network, was demonstrated in this study to be a highly suitable flow prediction tool yielding a very high degree of water-level prediction accuracy at Dhaka, Bangladesh, even for up to 7 lead days. The goodness-of-fit R2 value, root-mean-square error, and...

Groundwater recharge is affected by various anthropogenic activities, land use and land cover (LULC) change among these. The long-term temporal and seasonal changes in LULC have a substantial influence on groundwater flow dynamics. Therefore, assessment of the impacts of LULC changes on recharge is ...
