Abstract: In this paper, the results of an investigation carried out to test the applicability of a flow-resistance law on gravel-bed rivers in southern Italy (fiumare) are reported. First, dimensional analysis and self-similarity ...

Abstract: In this paper a number of proposed criteria are analyzed that predict the ultimate equilibrium bed slope in streams upstream of a check dam. The analysis is based on a comprehensive data set that includes 132 reaches in ...

Abstract: The two-component extreme value (TCEV) distribution, which is currently applied in Italy for the regional rainfall and flood frequency analysis, and its hierarchical parameter estimating procedure, are briefly reviewed. ...

Abstract: Because eroded sediments are produced from different sources throughout a basin, it is often advantageous to model sediment delivery processes at basin scale using a spatially distributed approach. In this paper, a sediment ...

Abstract: In this paper a regional flood frequency analysis based on the two-component extreme value (TCEV) distribution is developed using flood data recorded in Sicily. The hierarchical approach, characterized by three investigation ...
