Perennial stream density (D_P), which is obtained from the high resolution National Hydrography Dataset, for 185 watersheds declines monotonically with climate aridity index, and an inversely proportional function is proposed to model the relationship between D_Pand the ratio of potential evaporation to precipitation.

Prediction, time variance, and classification of hydraulic response to recharge in two karst aquifers

Many karst aquifers are rapidly filled and depleted and therefore are likely to be susceptible to changes in short-term climate variability. Here we explore methods that could be applied to model site-specific hydraulic responses, with the intent of simulating these responses to different climate scenarios from high-resolution climate models.

Thermodynamics, maximum power, and the dynamics of preferential river flow structures at the continental scale

Here we describe the organization and dynamics of drainage systems using thermodynamics, focusing on the generation, dissipation and transfer of free energy associated with river flow and sediment transport.

It takes a community to raise a hydrologist: the Modular Curriculum for Hydrologic Advancement (MOCHA)

In this paper we combine literature review, community survey, discussion and assessment to provide a holistic baseline for the future of hydrology education. The ultimate objective of our educational initiative is to enable educators to train a new generation of “renaissance hydrologists,” who can master the holistic nature of our field and of the problems we encounter.

Should we apply bias correction to global and regional climate model data?

With this article, we advocate communicating the entire uncertainty range associated with climate change predictions openly and hope to stimulate a lively discussion on bias correction among the atmospheric and hydrological community and end users of climate change impact studies.

Incorporating student-centered approaches into catchment hydrology teaching: a review and synthesis

As hydrologists confront the future of water resources on a globalized, resource-scarce and human-impacted planet, the educational preparation of future generations of water scientists becomes increasingly important.

Water resources trends in Middle East and North Africa towards 2050

Changes in water resources availability can be expected as consequences of climate change, population growth, economic development and environmental considerations. A two-stage modeling approach is used to explore the impact of these changes in the Middle East and North Africa region.

Value of medium range weather forecasts in the improvement of seasonal hydrologic prediction skill

We investigated the contribution of medium range weather forecasts with lead times of up to 14 days to seasonal hydrologic prediction skill over the conterminous United States (CONUS).

Climatic and geologic controls on suspended sediment flux in the Sutlej River Valley, western Himalaya

Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of the spatiotemporal trends in suspended sediment flux based on daily data during the past decade (2001–2009) from four sites along the Sutlej River and from four of its main tributaries.
