This paper examines the combined modelling of climate change and urban development impacts on water quantity and quality. Hydrological impacts of climate change and urban development are likely to significantly affect future water resource
Effect of vegetation cover on the hydrology of reclaimed mining soils under Mediterranean-Continental climate
The aim of this investigation was to study the influence of the herbaceous vegetation cover on the hydrological response of reclaimed mining soils by means of simulated rainfall, in a Mediterranean-Continental environment (central-eastern Spain
). The effect of herbaceous vegetation cover on soil hydrology was analysed by means of rainfall simulation in reclaimed soils derived from opencast coal mining (a non-saline and clay-loam textured spoil). The simulation experiments were conducted at 3 different
times throughout the year (late winter, summer and autumn) to control the influence of seasonal climatic fluctuations. Experiments were carried out at different times throughout the year to assess the seasonal influences on soil hydrology. As a practical
objective, the AA. aimed to identify an optimal threshold of vegetation cover to achieve satisfactory biological control of soil hydrology in the studied environment.
Occurrence and hydrological effects of water repellency in different soil and land use types in Mexican volcanic highlands
In this study the occurrence and hydrological effects of water repellency were investigated at a plot scale for different types of land use and volcanic soils in Mexican volcanic highlands from Michoacan, Mexico: [1] fir, pine and oak mixed forest
on recent ash sediments in plain surfaces. Shallow and irregular wetting fronts were observed at water-repellent zones, reducing the soil water storage capacity. The implications of soil water repellency in soil hydrology and erosion risk in the area shed
light on the soil hydrology of the studied ecosystems, and can contribute to develop better management policies.
Over the last 10 years, the study of land surface hydrology using remote sensing techniques has advanced greatly with the launch of NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS) and other research satellite platforms, and with the development of more

The Luodingjiang River, a mountainous tributary of the lower Xijiang in South China, was chosen to investigate the hydrological responses to the precipitation variation and diverse human activities (land use change, water diversion, reservoir
seasonal changing patterns of both water discharge and sediment load in this study highlight the importance of involving monthly or seasonal time series in the change detection in hydrological data.

Extreme hydrological events in karst areas of Slovenia, the case of the Unica River basin
In the case of particularly extreme hydrological conditions in the autumn of 2008, detailed analyses of the recharge-discharge regime and the interrelationship of flooding on two typical and connected karst poljes (Cerknica and Planina
) of the Classical Karst region were done. Daily precipitation, discharge, and water level values from several monitoring sites were analyzed and cross-correlated, and additional hydrological analyses were done using a digital elevation model in order to acquire
water level increase and decrease intensity, flood water volumes, and the extent of flooding and to understand the conditions controlling karst flooding. The results reveal that the hydrological functioning of the studied karst poljes is influenced
by the hydrogeological and temporary hydrological conditions in the catchment area.
Forests exert a major influence on water regime. Interception is one of the major components of the water balance of overgrown areas so measurement of individual components of the forest hydrological cycle developed extensively in the last decades
. This paper shows methods of measurement of individual components of forest hydrological cycle and methods of modeling of intercepted precipitation. - (L'A.).
Neotectonics and current hydrologically-induced karst deformation. Case study of the Plateau de Calern (Alpes-Maritimes, France)
with classical hydrogeological monitoring tools in order to investigate the relationship between current karst deformation and hydrology. The best correlation between hydrology and tilts is observed for the deep aquifers. Finally, the long term variations in tilt
and water table show a very good correlation The relationship between current hydrological deformations and tectonics is also analyzed; broken and shifted speleothems in the shafts indicate a general shift of the plateau towards the south.
Based on measured hydrological data by using ship-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) instrument, the AA. analyzed shapes of river cross sections of the middle Yangtze River basin (mainly focusing on Makou and Tianjiazhen river reach
). The hydrologic data of 36 river cross sections have been successfully obtained. In this paper, the AA. try to characterize the hydrodynamic properties of river knots, associated backwater effects and their implications for flood mitigation in the middle and lower
