Traditional one-regime rainfall-runoff (r-r) models are usually able to adequate simulate only flows in some interval (low or high flows). Proper simulation of both type of flows has a great importance in many practical applications, for example flood protection, risk analysis, etc. For this purpose more sophisticated modeling tools are needed. The aim of the paper is the improvement of simulations of low and high flows using a two-regime switching r-r model. This model uses a unique concept of separate simulation...

This study uses a pooling approach to identify catchments with similar flood characteristics in the Alpine-Carpathian region. The identification of similar regions is performed using the nonhierarchical k-means clustering algorithm and different sets of catchments characteristics (catchment area, forest cover, mean catchment elevation) and flood seasonality characteristic (concentration of flood around the mean date of flood occurrence). The optimal number of cluster is determined using the silhouette method. The ...
