Abstract

"Hyper-resolution, distributed hydrologic models coupled with high-resolution, distributed information from ground stations and remote sensing (from satellites, radars or intelligent systems) have become an important tool for predicting the behavior of hydrosystems due to the comprehensive capabilities of their process-based representation, accurate results and minimal calibration. The conceptual framework on which these models are built determine their broad applicability to a set of problems such as drought prediction, flood forecasting, water sustainability and watershed responses under climate and land cover changes. Machine learning, as an emerging tool, complement observations and model outputs through big data synthesis, feature elicitation, pattern recognition, clustering and the finding of dynamic data-based mathematical relationships.
