Water movement in the unsaturated zone is an important hydrological process. Richard’s equation is windily used to describe both soil water infiltration and soil water absorption. Various methods have been developed to solve Richard’s equation. Wang et al. (2003) have developed an algebraic model...

The subject of this article is the estimation of quantitative (hydrological) and qualitative parameters in the catchment of Ronnea (1800 Km2, located in south western Sweden) through the application of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). SWAT is a river basin model that was developed for the...

All stormwater management projects in Greece are required to get environmental permit before construction. The design return period is often determined by the environmental permit. Determination of design discharges is an important parameter for the design. Design discharge for a given return period...

In hydrology, as in a number of diverse fields, there has been an increasing use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as black-box simplified models. This is mainly justified by their ability to model complex non-linear patterns; in addition they can self-adjust and produce a consistent response when...
