Modelling Pluvial Flooding in Urban Areas Coupling the Models Iber and SWMM
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] Dual urban drainage models allow users to simulate pluvial urban flooding by analysing the interaction between the sewer network (minor drainage system) and the overland flow (major drainage system). This work ...
Development and Calibration of a New Dripper-Based Rainfall Simulator for Large-Scale Sediment Wash-off Studies
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] Rainfall simulators are useful tools for controlling the main variables that govern natural rainfall. In this study, a new drop-forming rainfall simulator, which consists of pressure-compensating dripper grids ...
Development of a global SDG progress index aimed at “leaving no one behind”
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract:] The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute a set of shared global objectives for the development over the coming years, which both developed and developing countries are working together ...
An Application of Fish Detection Based on Eye Search with Artificial Vision and Artificial Neural Networks
(MDPI AG, 2020-10-27)
[Abstract]
A fish can be detected by means of artificial vision techniques, without human intervention or handling the fish. This work presents an application for detecting moving fish in water by artificial vision based ...
Hydraulic, Wash-off and Sediment Transport Experiments in a Full-Scale Urban Drainage Physical Model
(Nature, 2020)
[Abstract] This paper presents a dataset obtained from hydraulic and sediment transport experiments performed in a full-scale urban drainage physical model of 36 m2. The study seeks to accurately measure sediment mobilization ...
An Augmented Reality Facility to Run Hybrid Physical-Numerical Flood Models
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] This article presents a novel installation for the development of hybrid physical-numerical flood models in an augmented reality environment. This installation extends the concept introduced by the well-known ...
MERLIN: a flood hazard forecasting system for coastal river reaches
(Springer, 2020)
[Abstract:] This study presents MERLIN, an innovative flood hazard forecasting system for predicting discharges and water levels at flood prone areas of coastal catchments. Discharge forecasts are preceded by a hindcast ...
A robust method to update local river inundation maps using global climate model output and weather typing based statistical downscaling
(Springer, 2020)
[Abstract:] Global warming is changing the magnitude and frequency of extreme precipitation events. This requires updating local rainfall intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves and flood hazard maps according to the ...
New insights to study the accumulation and erosion processes of fine-grained organic sediments in combined sewer systems from a laboratory scale model
(Elsevier, 2020)
[Abstract:] The deposition and resuspension of sediments are issues of considerable concern in combined sewer systems management. Sediments can produce the loss of hydraulic capacity and odour generation in sewers, and are ...
Assessment of the performance of drought indices for explaining crop yield variability at the national scale: Methodological framework and application to Mozambique
(Elsevier, 2020)
[Abstract:] Droughts are one of the most damaging and complex natural disasters in the world, and they frequently affect agricultural production. Drought monitoring is essential for decision-makers seeking to minimize the ...
