Studying The Hydrological Response Of Urban Catchments Using A Semi-Distributed Linear Non-Linear Model

2000

A conceptual rainfall-runoff model for urban catchment, which incorporates, semi-distributed modelling concepts has been developed. In the proposed model, the catchment is divided in external sub-catchments connected to the drainage network. Each external sub-catchment is modelled as two separate conceptual linear elements, a reservoir and a channel, one for the pervious part, the other for the impervious part of the drainage area. The drainage network is schematised as a cascade of non-linear cells and the flood routing is simplified in the form of kinematic wave and represented as a flux transfer between adjacent cells. Tests carried out using data from the Parco d'Orleans experimental ca…

A simple model of hillslope response for overland flow generation

2001

This paper deals with the derivation of the hydrological response of a hillslope on the assumption of quick runoff by surface runoff generation. By using the simple non-linear storage based model, first proposed by Horton, an analytical solution of the overland flow equations over a plane hillslope was derived. This solution establishes a generalization for different flow regimes of Horton's original solution, which is valid for the transitional flow regime only. The solution proposed was compared successfully with that of Horton and, for the turbulent flow regime, to the one derived from kinematic wave theory. This solution can be applied easily to both stationary and non-stationary rainfa…

Hydrological consequences of natural rubber plantations in Southeast Asia

2020

Since the turn of the century, rubber plantations have been expanding their footprint across Southeast Asia in response to an increasing global demand for rubber products. Between 2000 and 2014, the area cultivated with rubber more than doubled. It is not clear how this major change in the agricultural landscape of Southeast Asia, the main area of rubber production in the world, is affecting land‐use patterns and water resources in the region. Here we use maps of rubber plantations and other croplands in conjunction with a hydrological model and remote sensing analyses to assess land‐use patterns and water resources affected by natural rubber plantations. Results show water requirements of …

Effects of agricultural drainage systems on sediment connectivity in a small Mediterranean lowland catchment

2018

Traditional drainage systems combining man-made channels and subsurface tile drains have been used since Roman times to control water excess in Mediterranean lowland regions, favouring adequate soil water regime for agriculture purposes. However, mechanization of agriculture, abandonment or land use changes lead to a progressive deterioration of these drains in the last decades. The effects of these structures on hydrological and sediment dynamics have been previously analyzed in a small Mediterranean lowland catchment (Can Revull, Mallorca, Spain, 1.4 km2) by establishing an integrated sediment budget with a multi-technique approach. Moreover, the recent advances in morphometric techniques…

Coibenti per "cappotto" esterno. Valutazione con metodologia LCA

2010

Il settore dell’edilizia riveste un ruolo chiave per le future strategie europee di sostenibilità, in particolare la necessità di migliorare l’efficienza energetica degli edifici è oggi ampiamente riconosciuta e fa parte degli obiettivi del «20-20-20» posti dall’UE per il 2020. Nel presente studio la metodologia LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) è stata applicata alla scala dell’elemento tecnico nel settore edilizio, con riferimento al contesto siciliano. Inoltre sono stati confrontati i principali impatti associati al ciclo di vita di tre sistemi di coibentazione esterna a “cappotto” con polistirene espanso sinterizzato, lana di roccia e sughero espanso autocollato. L’obiettivo dello studio è qu…
