GWS2020 - Rainfall Runoff

Here we are introducing some modules for rainfall runoff modelling present in GEOframe.  We also maintain some material of the 2019 GEOframe Winter School that can be though interesting.

• The GEOframe type of models (YouTube2020)
• Representing the Hydrological Dynamical Systems (YouTube2020)
• The Embedded Reservoir Model (YouTube2020)
• The ERM sim file (Part I, II, III)
• The Net3 Graph
• LUCA calibration of the ERM
• Examples of Application
• The Posina Catchment (Abera et al., 2017a)(YouTube2019)
• The Blue Nile (Abera et al. 2017b) (YouTube2019)
• The Basilicata Civil Protection (YouTube2019)

• Net3 (YouTube2020)
• LUCA (YouTube2020)

Cavone River Exercise

• Part I (YouTube2020), Part II (YouTube2020), Part III (YouTube2020)
