Attribution of the 2015-2016 hydrological drought in KwaZulu-Natal to anthropogenic climate change
… climate change has contributed to the 2015-2016 hydrological drought in selected KZN catchments. Methodology of the study followed a general framework of implementation of hydrological attribution experiments with climate data obtained from attribution simulations with HadAM3p global climate …

Understanding the characteristics of droughts over Eastern Africa in past and future climates
… the characteristics of meteorological and hydrological droughts in present and future climates at the regional and river basin scales. To accomplish that we have applied five objectives; i) Study the temporal and spatial characteristics of eastern Africa droughts modes, ii) Investigate how …

Potential impacts of climate change and land-use change on hydrological drought in the Western Cape (South Africa)
… (2015 – 2017), cascaded to agricultural and then hydrological drought, resulting in devastating socio-economic consequences. While some studies indicate that climate change may increase the severity and frequency of droughts in the Western Cape in the future, there is a lack of information on how …

The influence of the Critical Zone on hillslope hydrology and stability
… It is essential for regulating the incidence of hydrological processes and hydro-geo hazards. Enhancing predictive models of infiltration, discharge production, and landslide initiation, requires an understanding of the relationships between the CZ and hillslope hydrology. In this research, the …

Potential impacts of climate change on hydrological droughts in the Limpopo river basin
Climate change possibly intensifies hydrological droughts and reduces water availability in river basins. Despite this, most research on climate change effects in southern Africa has focused exclusively on meteorological droughts. This thesis projects the potential effect of climate change on the …

An information base for a decision support system for management of the Mhlathuze River
… basis. The database was designed to contain all hydrologically relevant data and information on the Mhlathuze River catchment. Extensive data collection has identified information on rainfall, evaporation, flow measurements, the soil type map of the area, 1:50 000 topographical maps and 1:500 000 …

Modelli di preannuncio delle piene in piccoli bacini ed incertezze legate alla densita' della rete pluviometrica.
Small catchments with fast hydrological responding geomorphology are commonly prone to Flash Floods, which have to be predicted on the basis of meteorological forecast and radar nowcasting, rather than continuously monitoring river water levels. Moreover, real-time rainfall observations at high …

Potential impacts of climate change on hydrological extremes in the Incomati River Basin
… potential impacts of climate change on extreme hydrological events that induce flood in the Incomati River Basin (IRB). A series of climate and hydrological simulation datasets were analysed for the study. The climate simulation datasets were acquired from the Global Meteorological Forcing …

Evaluating Future Runoff, Water Stress and Fluvial Flooding in China under Climate Change
… making it difficult to capture China’s diverse hydrological patterns at a national scale in high resolution. Water stress assessments frequently apply simplified assumptions or inconsistently combine climate and socioeconomic scenarios, leading to internally inconsistent projections. Moreover, …

On the effects of hydrological uncertainty in assessing the impacts of climate change on water resources
… future climate scenarios, the effects of hydrological parameterisation, and the bias of the hydrological model in representing different streamflow magnitudes. Quantification of the impacts of climate change on water resources will depend on the emission scenario, climate model, …

Sustainable management of semi-arid African savannas under environmental and political change
… in a changing world. I extended an eco-hydrological model to simulate rangeland vegetation dynamics for a typical semi-arid savanna in eastern Namibia. In particular, I identified the response of semi-arid savanna vegetation to different land use strategies (including fire management) …
