Hydrology, Volume 7, Issue 2

2020 June - 17 articles

Cover Story: Globally, demand for water is often higher than the supply. Especially in semi-arid regions, this has created the need for transbasin diversions and dams to move water from its source in wildland areas to where the need is, upstream of population centers. With limited data from prior to a diversion, alternative approaches, such as a linkage of hydrologic and hydraulic modeling and datasets, are used to understand how a watershed would function under natural conditions and the change in system response due to flow alteration in a transbasin watershed. Understanding the relation of hydrology and channel form is necessary to assess hydrologic and hydraulic stability, in order to help to meet water use targets and safeguard for environmental sustainability in a complex, hydrologically modified system.
