Strategic Design and Delivery of Integrated Catchment Restoration Monitoring: Emerging Lessons from a 12-Year Study in the UK

“…Hydrological and Hydraulic Modelling-as a direct extension to the monitoring programme, a number of hydrological and hydraulic models have been developed for the Eddleston catchment, including HEC-RMS, MIKE SHE/MIKE II [60] and HEC-RAS 2D [39], and used to extend learning to other locations [40]. In addition, studies have utilised the Eddleston for development and running of other models, such as SHETRAN, to assess the hydrological impact of leaky wood structures [61].…”

Non-stationary analysis for road drainage design under land-use and climate change scenarios

“…Similar behavior has been reported in observations of paired basins in transition from grassland to forests, where there has been a decrease in the runoff volume in a range of 48-78% (Marshall et al, 2014), as well as an increase of 5-30 times the volume of surface runoff in transition from forested to impervious areas (Hurni et al, 2005). It has also been pointed out in the literature that the evaluation of the effect of land use on surface runoff through hydrological modeling indicates that when there is an increase in areas with forest, a decrease in peak flow is experienced in ranges from 6 to 14% (Kabeja et al, 2020;Ruman et al, 2021). Accordingly, Kalantari et al (2014) found that the change from forests to grassland in a period of 50 years generated an increase of 5% in the water layer height that produced a decrease in the hydraulic capacity in road drainage structures.…”

A comparison of the hydrodynamic characteristics of surface runoff generated by flash floods in geologically different areas of the Bohemian Massif (crystalline rocks) and the western Carpathians (flysch)

“…Changes in land use may significantly cause a change in the flood flow regime (Brath et al, 2006). Some studies have reported that changes in land use may modify the average annual flow by 10% (Huisman et al, 2009;Li and Wang, 2009;Ruman et al, 2020).…”

“…infiltration). From this point of view, the most important role is played by superficial geology (Ruman et al, 2020). Direct effects are also notable due to the formation of a hydrogeological environment, which can have a significant retention capacity (Lauber et al, 2014;Spellman et al, 2019).…”
