    • Comparison of machine learning techniques for reservoir outflow forecasting 

      García-Feal, Orlando; González-Cao, José; Fernández-Novoa, Diego; Astray, Gonzalo; Gómez-Gesteira, Moncho (European Geosciences Union, 2022)
      [Abstract:] Reservoirs play a key role in many human societies due to their capability to manage water resources. In addition to their role in water supply and hydropower production, their ability to retain water and control ...

    • Enhancing Flood Risk Management: A Comprehensive Review on Flood Early Warning Systems with Emphasis on Numerical Modeling 

      Fernández-Nóvoa, Diego; González-Cao, José; García-Feal, Orlando (MDPI, 2024)
      [Abstract:] During recent decades there has been an increase in extreme flood events and their intensity in most regions, mainly driven by climate change. Furthermore, these critical events are expected to intensify in the ...

    • How to mitigate flood events similar to the 1979 catastrophic floods in the lower Tagus 

      Fernández-Novoa, Diego; Ramos, Alexandre M.; González-Cao, José; García-Feal, Orlando; Catita, Cristina; Gómez-Gesteira, Moncho; Trigo, Ricardo M. (European Geosciences Union, 2024)
      [Abstract:] The floods that struck the lower Tagus valley in February 1979 correspond to the most intense floods in this river and affected the largest number of people in a river flow event in Portugal during the last 150 ...

    • IberWQ: A GPU Accelerated Tool for 2D Water Quality Modeling in Rivers and Estuaries 

      García-Feal, Orlando; Cea, Luis; González-Cao, José; Domínguez, J. M.; Gómez-Gesteira, Moncho (MDPI, 2020)
      [Abstract] Numerical models are useful tools to analyze water quality by computing the concentration of physical, chemical and biological parameters. The present work introduces a two-dimensional depth-averaged model that ...
