The importance of retention times in Natural Flood Management interventions Open
The starting point for this study is the simulation study of Metcalfe et al. (2018) which suggested that retention times of the order of 10 h are required for natural flood management storage features to have a maximum effect on large flow…

Rainfall–streamflow response times for diverse upland UK micro-basins: quantifying hydrographs to identify the nonlinearity of storm response Open
While it is known that antecedent conditions and rainfall profiles contribute to the nonlinearity of streamflow response and that hydrograph shape can be dependent on the nature of rainfall inputs, how antecedent conditions (with similar r…

Deciding on fitness‐for‐purpose‐of models and of natural flood management Open
This article has taken a distributed modelling approach to examine the potential for hillslope storage bunds as a natural flood management (NFM) strategy to mitigate the effects of downstream flooding if deployed extensively in the 209 km …

The importance of retention times in Natural Flood Management interventions Open
<p>The Nature-based Solution for reducing flood peaks known as Natural Flood Management is an increasingly popular policy option for flood mitigation in the UK and other parts of the world.&#160;&#160; It involves a variety o…

Developing models for the data-based mechanistic approach to systems analysis:Increasing objectivity and reducing assumptions Open
Stochastic State-Space Time-Varying Random Walk models have been developed, allowing the existing Stochastic State Space models to operate directly on irregularly sampled time-series. These TVRW models have been successfully applied to two…

Hydrological functioning of cattle ranching impoundments in the Dry Chaco rangelands of Argentina Open
Rainwater harvesting and associated storage is essential for cattle ranching in the drylands of Argentina and elsewhere. This is the first study to attempt to quantify the hydrological inflows and losses from rainwater harvesting impoundme…
