Advances in Catchment Science through Integrated Hydrological Modelling and Monitoring.

Surface-subsurface flow modeling with path-based runoff routing, boundary condition-based coupling, and assimilation of multisource observation data. Li et al. proposed an efficient integrated modelling approach, whereby the baseflow is treated as a black box and forecasted using a long-term memory method, while the surface flow is simulated using a spatio-temporal variable source mixed runoff generation module, based on hydrological response units constructed from eco-geomorphological units. Environmental research is rapidly evolving toward an integration of different disciplines, and this is also reflected in hydrology and the hydrological modelling community. In this modelling application, the authors explore the potential of integrated surface-subsurface models to simulate salt transport processes leading to soil salinisation, which is a major environmental issue in arid and semi-arid regions, including the possible impacts of land use and climate change.
