Estimating runoff from ungauged catchments using regional modelling
Lobintceva, Ekaterina (Master thesis, 2014)Establishing runoff series from ungauged catchment is a central challenge in hydrology. In Norway this is particularly evident in the design of small hydropower. The location of the power plant often is in small catchments ... -
Hydrological Assessment of Water Resources in Bergen - Climate Change Impacts
Riisnes, Birthe Kvale; Kristvik, Erle (Master thesis, 2015)Bergen Waterworks is reliant on steady loads of precipitation to meet the drink- ing water demand. Accordingly, the system is vulnerable to drought events and seasonal changes in inflow. Climate change impact analysis, as ... -
Hydrological data for small hydropower plants
Karlsson, Irene (Master thesis, 2014)During last years extensive development of small hydropower plants has taken place, and many of that plants are frequently located in small catchments. Mainly there is no runoff data for these small catchments, because ... -
