Abstract:
The municipality of Rotterdam and two regional drinking-water companies jointly started an action programme in an attempt to reduce the sources of pollution in consultation with the dischargers. Rotterdam aims to reach written agreements with each relevant discharger in which the discharger is committed to reduce his discharge in order to improve the Meuse water quality. In exchange Rotterdam relinquishes legal claims upon the discharger. Results of the measured discharges are presented. The 8 major dischargers of Br, Cd, NH4 and P each contribute up to 79% of the total contaminant discharge i

Abstract. Climate changes have a high impact on river discharges and therefore on floods. There are a few different methods we can use to predict discharge changes in the future. In this paper we used the complex HBV model for the Vipava River and simple correlation between discharge and precipitation data for the Soča River. The discharge prediction is based on the E-OBS precipitation data for three future time periods (2011–2040, 2041–2070 and 2071–2100). Estimated discharges for those three future periods are presented for both rivers. But a special situation occurs at the confluence where

Based upon data gathered from 11 meteorological stations and 3 hydrological stations, hydroclimatic variables trends were established by utilizing the nonparametric Mann-Kendall test and the nonparametric Sen’s slope estimator. The results show significant positive seasonal and annual trends (expect for autumn, during which upward trends were insignificant) in air temperature, whereas both positive

Abstract. This paper presents an attempt of simulating daily fluctuations of river discharge at global scale. Total Runoff Integrating Pathways (TRIP) is a global river routing model which can help to isolate the river basins, inter-basin transport of water through river channels, as well as collect and route runoff to the river mouths for all the major rivers. In the previous version of TRIP (TRIP 1.0), a simple approach of constant river flow velocity is used. In general, that approach is sufficient to model mean long-term discharges. However, to model short-term fluctuations, more sophistic

Abstract. This study focuses on the impact of discharges of small rivers on the delivery and fate of fluvial water and suspended matter at the northeastern part of the Black Sea under different local precipitation conditions. Several dozens of mountainous rivers flow into the sea at the study region, and most of them, except for several of the largest, have little annual runoff and affect adjacent coastal waters to a limited extent under average climatic conditions. However, the discharges of these small rivers are characterized by a quick response to precipitation events and can significantly

Neck cutoff is a sudden phenomenon that occurs during the evolution of meandering rivers, but its process and mechanism remain unclear. In this investigation, the neck-narrowing process before cutoff, the formation of a new river, and the appropriate conditions for cutoff under constant and variable discharges were studied using experimental methods in a laboratory flume. The results indicated that bank erosion upstream and downstream of the neck was the main factor that triggered cutoff, regardless of whether the discharge changed.
