“…Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) was used as a hydrological model to simulate the past and future hydrological consequences associated with climate variability [36][37][38]. HSPF is a process-based, river basin-scale, and semi-distributed model that simulates hydrological conditions through Hydrological Response Units (HRUs) within the watershed.…”

We conducted a study on climate-driven flash flood risk in the Boise River Watershed using flood frequency analysis and climate-driven hydrological simulations over the next few decades. Three different distribution families, including the Gumbel Extreme Value Type I (GEV), the 3-parameter log-normal (LN3) and log-Pearson type III (LP3) are used to explore the likelihood of potential flash flood based on the 3-day running total streamflow sequences (3D flows). Climate-driven ensemble streamflows are also generated to evaluate how future climate variability affects local hydrology associated with potential flash flood risks. The result indicates that future climate change and variability may contribute to potential flash floods in the study area, but incorporating embedded-uncertainties inherited from climate models into water resource planning would be still challenging because grand investments are necessary to mitigate such risks within institutional and community consensus. Nonetheless, this study will provide useful insights for water managers to plan out sustainable water resources management under an uncertain and changing climate.

“…Scour and disposition for cohesive sediments (i.e., silt and clay) in waterbodies is handled using a critical shear stress value:

τ_{c} = θ (γ_{normals} - γ) D,

where θ is the dimensionless Shields parameters for entrainment of a sediment particle of size D , γ s is the unit weight of bed sediment, and γ is the unit weight of water. Readers can find a detailed description of the model structure, all governing equations, data requirements, application examples, technical notes, and the model calibrations processes elsewhere (Bicknell et al ; Al‐Abed and Whiteley ; Donigian ; Duda et al ; Dudula and Randhir ).…”

“…Earlier studies have developed either regressionbased models (Tong and Chen 2002;Williams et al 2014;Tasdighi et al 2017) or hydrological models (Ficklin et al 2014;El-Khoury et al 2015;Dudula and Randhir 2016) to study these relationships and analyze the impacts. The majority of these studies concluded that strong correlations exist between water fluxes and land use types and climate change; however, significant differences can be expected between wet and dry years (Tasdighi et al 2017).…”

This study investigates the impact of climate and land use change on the magnitude and timing of streamflow and sediment yield in a snow‐dominated mountainous watershed in Salt Lake County, Utah using a scenario approach and the Hydrological Simulation Program — FORTRAN model for the 2040s (year 2035–2044) and 2090s (year 2085–2094). The climate scenarios were statistically and dynamically downscaled from global climate models. Land use and land cover (LULC) changes were estimated in two ways — from a regional planning scenario and from a deterministic model. Results indicate the mean daily streamflow in the Jordan River watershed will increase by an amount ranging from 11.2% to 14.5% in the 2040s and from 6.8% to 15.3% in the 2090s. The respective increases in sediment load in the 2040s and 2090s is projected to be 6.7% and 39.7% in the canyons and about 7.4% to 14.2% in the Jordan valley. The historical 50th percentile timing of streamflow and sediment load is projected to be shifted earlier by three to four weeks by mid‐century and four to eight weeks by late‐century. The projected streamflow and sediment load results establish a nonlinear relationship with each other and are highly sensitive to projected climate change. The predicted changes in streamflow and sediment yield will have implications for water supply, flood control and stormwater management.

“…These parameters were chosen based on the sensitivity analysis known in literature (e.g. Dudula, J., & Randhir, T., 2016). The SRTC allows the user to define the uncertainty associated with the parameters and to execute the model multiple times within the uncertainty limits.…”

Borges de Souza and David Sample for the tireless guidance and patience with the discussions and for the friendship, encouragement and help in the difficult times faced in this challenge. To my brothers, nephews, family members and friends for the encouragement and understanding of my absence. To the NIBH family: each person, in his/her own way and time, helped me to overcome many difficulties. This is especially for arretada Clarissa Câmara de Freitas "Paraíba masculina, Muié macho, sim sinhô", everyone's supermom, always ready to everything and my partner all this time. Thank you very much! To the two enlightened people, best team that I could ever have: Marina Batalini de Macedo and Cesar do Lago. You are examples of smart, committed and engaged people. Together we managed our experiments "BIRENICE and GODOFREDO". With you, I learned, challenged myself and grew up. My eternal gratitude for all the shared moments! To the team Life Long Workout (God Team)! You are more than special people to me. You held, listened to and supported me in my sad and happy moments during the period in São Carlos, always willing to comfort me with some training and at Tomodaty or with barbecues on weekends. Friends who I want to have forever, my sincere thank you. Remember, Curitiba is right around the corner, I will be waiting you all there! To the sweetest couple, Gisela and Tomás, for the friendship, support and encouragement. To professor Fabiana de Nadai Andreoli and PUCPR, for the trust placed in me and all the support on this journey. Thank you very much! To my great friend and adviser, Wilson José Galheira, for the friendship, support and encouragement. You will always be my personal and professional references. To my friends Mariana Kitamura and Henrique Lima, who, even from the distance, have always been present along this journey. Special thanks to my favorite baiana monster, Mariana Rivera Freire, for the help, care and dedication. To Sá and Priscilla, efficient secretaries of PPGSHS, for all the attention and understanding. In memory of my dear friend, Marcelo Bronze, for the support, encouragement, conversations and laughter. The one who reminded me almost daily the 3F quote: Strength (Força), Faith (Fé) and Focus (Foco). You were and always will be remembered. My eternal admiration. In memory of Dr. Hercília Laura Ferrari Cocicov, for the long conversations and encouragement. Thank you for showing me, in practice, that with work, love and dedication, it is possible to go further. Wherever you are, receive my love, gratitude and admiration. I thank the University of São Paulo for the physical structure and FAPESP and CNPq for granting me full scholarship, which made possible to accomplish this PhD. To all who believed it would be possible to accomplish this journey. Anyway, to God, responsible for our existence.
