The hydrology and caves of the Geevagh and Bricklieve karts, Co. Sligo
The main emphasis of the work described here is on the hydrology, both relict and modern, and on the water chemistry as an indicator of hydrologic conditions of the Geevagh and Bricklieve karsts.
The hydrology of a peatland catchment in Northern Ireland following channel clearance and land drainage in Man's impact on the hydrological cycle in the United Kingdom.
Spatial prediction in hydrology : status and implications in the estimation of hydrological processes for applied research

The aim of this paper is to discuss current status in spatial prediction in hydrology as related to the estimation of hydrological processes particularly in areas where a shortage of hydrometeorological data exists. Emphasis

This paper presents the analysis of pre- and post-dam hydrologic changes from dams that cover the spectrum of hydrologic and climatic regimes across the United States. The overall goals are to document the type, magnitude, and direction
of hydrologic shifts because of impoundment. To assess hydrologic changes associated with dams, the AA. applied a hydrologic model, the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA), supplemented with orientation statistics for certain hydrograph parameters
. The results indicate that the major pulse of dam construction during the previous century has modified hydrologic regimes on a nationwide scale, for large and small rivers.

This article reviews the role of hydrology in wetland delimitation and classification, and seeks to clarify linkages between wetland vegetation and hydrology across wetland types.

This paper presents a synopsis of 2 decades of research contribution to Arctic hydrology carried out at the McMaster basin. Discussions will focus on 2 topics of special significance to the Arctic region, being snow and permafrost hydrology.
Climatic variation ; Drought ; Global change ; Greenhouse effect ; Hydrology ; Model ; Scale ; United Kingdom ; Water cycle ; Water resources
This article examines the potential sensivity of water ressources in the UK to climatic change as exemplified by the 1988-92 drought. The representation of hydrological processes at three distinct model scales is then discussed with reference
to global hydrology, regional downscaling and catchment-scale responses. A final section speculates on future directions of research for an emerging greenhouse hydrology.
Including the spatial dimension: using geographical information systems in hydrology
Bibliography ; Geographical information system ; Hydrology ; Model ; Spatial variation
Given the increased use of GIS the aim of this article is to review the current role and limitations of GIS use in hydrology. Initially the various approaches that have been adopted already to capture the spatial characteristics of a hydrological
study area are outlined. This is followed by a synthesis of the current state of GIS and the models used to conceptualize spatial data within such systems. The suitability of such models for application to hydrological research is then emphasized.
Past hydrological events related to understanding global change
From its origins as a geological study of flood erosion and sediments the science palaeoflood hydrology matured to become an indispensable means for understanding the hydrology of very large, rare floods. Such floods are increasingly posing risks
to human habitation. More that 3 decades of research in palaeoflood hydrology produced spectacular advances in capabilities for : accurately determining palaeoflood ages; quantifying the magnitudes and dynamics of palaeoflood processes; and incorporating
