Hydrologic modeling using triangulated irregular networks : terrain representation, flood forecasting and catchment response
… variability in the land-surface hydrologic response to rainfall and understanding the physical relations between internal watershed processes and observed streamflow. This thesis presents the development and application of a distributed hydrologic model distinguished by its representation of …

Impacts of Climate Change in Snowmelt-Dominated Alpine Catchments: Development and Assessment of Comparative Methods to Quantify the Role of Dynamic Storage and Subsurface Hydrologic Processes
… to accurately assess the physical and chemical response of headwater systems to climate change. This dissertation builds upon previous work by using long-term data from two snowmelt dominated catchments to investigate the response of hydrologic processes at different temporal and spatial scales. …

Understanding the Effect of Climate and Hydrometeorological Extremes on Natural and Human-Induced Hydrosystems
… and for better water resources management. In response, this dissertation focuses on investigating the hydroclimatology of natural and modified basins across the contiguous United States. It has three research objectives: (1) to explain flow alterations due to anthropogenic activities, …

The effects of upstream Natural Flood Management on urban surface drainage performance
… downstream fluvial flooding by attenuating catchment response. This research expands this focus – investigating whether these same interventions could also mitigate surface flood risk in downstream urban areas. By moderating water levels in receiving watercourses, upstream NFM could promote …

THE CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELLING/OF SOIL WATER PATHWAYS BENEATH A CONIFEROUS HILLSLOPE IN MID WALES
… impact of measurement error upon the observed response of the true hydrological system. The impact of conifers upon the detailed water-pathways and lumped catchment response was monitored to educe any changes in the hydrological response which could account for the increased loading of acidic …

Distributed surface-subsurface modelling approach for evaluating the impact of rain gardens on steep terrain
… in reducing urban runoff from steep residential catchments. A series of hypothetical cases of rain gardens with distinctive characteristics, including different sizes and implementation densities, are simulated and results are reviewed and compared to the catchment response with no stormwater …

Extracting value from patterns in routinely collected, high-frequency water quality data in rivers supplying drinking water treatment works
… the complex interactions and combined effects of catchment processes affecting sources, mobilisation, and the transport of contaminants. Long-term monitoring, routine sampling, and targeted storm sampling have demonstrated the complexity of temporal variability in c-q relationships on diurnal, …

Restoring freshwater quality: an integrated environmental, economic and ecosystem services assessment of reducing nutrient loads to Lake Rotorua
… impacted by complex relationships of ecosystem responses to management actions, economic constraints, societal pressures and policy contexts. Research in this thesis was aimed at an integrated assessment covering these aspects to inform future lake restoration action. The overarching objective …
