This book presents the novel formulation and development of a Stochastic Flood Forecasting System, using the Middle River Vistula basin in Poland as a case study. The system has a modular structure, including models describing the rainfall-runoff and snow-melt processes for tributary catchments and the transformation of a flood wave within the reach. The sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of …
This chapter presents an analysis of land cover and its changes in the Middle River Vistula catchment over the period 1990–2012. The river reach is situated between hydrological gauging stations at Zawichost and at Port Praski (Warsaw). Comprehensive information on land cover and land cover change is a crucial step in understanding and modelling hydrological processes. The land cover and…
