RAINFALL-RUNOFF GENERATION
Even though significant progress has been made in understanding flow generation mechanisms, there are still questions about the spatial distribution and variability of these processes in the landscape. Recent investigations have tackled these challenges from both empirical and modelling approaches. The use of water stable isotopes and other tracers in investigations of streamflow generation continues to expand across varied landscapes and land-uses. Modelling continues to refine the treatment of uncertainties and parameterization. Despite the combined effort, it is still immensely challenging to predict behavior in regions lacking data or outside the range of observed or modeled conditions. In light of these difficulties emphasis has recently been placed on studies that incorporate both the experimental and conceptual modelling viewpoints. Below you will find informtion about past and ongoing projects.
