Research Centres
and Projects
-
Agricultural Research Service Hydrology
Laboratory: Specialises in the development of improved methods for
predicting water yield, evaluating the impact of management practices and
assessing large scale environmental changes on water resources. (US)
-
Environment Canada National
Hydrology Research Institute: Developing expertise on hydrological
and ecological processes and advancing scientific understanding of the
impacts of environmental threats to aquatic ecosystems. (Canada)
-
Institute for Computational Earth Systems Science
Snow Hydrology Group: Focusing on hydrology, hydrochemical modelling,
and remote sensing in seasonally snow-covered alpine drainage basins. (US)
-
Université de Montréal Fluvial
geomorphology Research Group: Contains a broad Canadian research programme
discussing topics such as turbulent flow structure in gravel bed rivers
and effects of the migration of a dune on the turbulent structure of a
river. Also recent publications and theses are listed. (Canada).
-
World
Rivers Project: Background information on the hydrochemical river model
is expressed, also an insight into the nature of the major basins and small
coastal basins is evident. (US)
Data/Information
libraries
-
UK Environmental Agency (UK)
-
Bathing
Water Quality:Results gained from the 1997 European Commission identified
bathing water quality survey. Individual bathing water sites have a data
table each, recording past and present levels of various types of bacteria.
-
River
Gauging Data Sets: Composed of flow statistics and monthly mean flows
for 35 rivers in England and Wales. Also, individual sites' catchment characteristics
and geology are recorded.
-
River
Habitat Survey: A system for assessing the habitat quality of rivers
and streams based on their physical structure. River characteristics such
as physical attributes, land use, vegetation, trees and channel dimensions
are discussed.
-
California Department of Water Resources Data
Exchange Center: Holds current and past hydrologic data, river conditions
and recording station locations. (US)
-
Garnet - Water
quality node: Mechanism for information exchange in the water supply
and sanitation sector using low-cost, informal networks of researchers,
practitioners and funders of research. (Canada)
-
Lower Mississippi River
Conservation Committee: Promotes the protection, restoration, enforcement,
understanding, awareness and wise use of the natural resources of the lower
Mississippi River. (US)
-
National Weather Service Wilmington
Hydrology: Provides links to daily river and precipitation data in
the Wilmington area; along with river flood watches, warnings and statements.
(US)
-
San Francisco Bay
Delta Internet Resource Center: Gives river information such as flooding,
flow information and river temperatures for the California region, with
specific reference to the San Francisco Bay Delta. (US)
-
Tropical
Rainfall Measuring Mission: Obtains and studies multi-year science
data sets of tropical and subtropical rainfall measurements. Also aids
the understanding of how interactions between the ocean, air, and land
masses produce changes in global rainfall and climate. (US)
Education
Materials
Rainfall Simulations
-
Environment Protection Agency Storm
Water Management Model: A large, complex model capable of simulating
the movement of precipitation and pollutants from the ground surface through
pipe and channel networks, storage treatment units and finally to receiving
waters. (US)
Hydrological Cycle Models
-
GRASS Hydrological
Models: Provides short descriptions of hydrology models that have been
integration into the GRASS geographic information system, how they are
useful and also provides access. (US)
-
