Abstract
This paper presents an integrated simulation of future hydrological droughts using different climate scenarios for the Piancó River basin. Streamflow and sediment yield are estimated using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, and hydrological droughts are calculated using the Streamflow Drought Index (SDI). The study incorporates two future climate scenarios: RCP 4.5 (optimistic) and RCP 8.5 (pessimistic). The SDI is determined based on a series of simulated future flows to identify drought events within the basin. The results show that the model calibration and validation demonstrated excellent agreement with observed data (R² = 0.83, NSE = 0.82 for calibration and R² = 0.89, NSE = 0.77 for validation). When comparing the scenarios, reductions in flow volume by −75.86% and sediment yield by −86.5% are noted, indicating a significant decrease in sediment contribution to the outlet. Interestingly, the most critical years related to drought events, as determined by the SDI, do not coincide across the pessimistic and optimistic scenarios.
期刊介绍:
Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment (SERRA) will publish research papers, reviews and technical notes on stochastic and probabilistic approaches to environmental sciences and engineering, including interactions of earth and atmospheric environments with people and ecosystems. The basic idea is to bring together research papers on stochastic modelling in various fields of environmental sciences and to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas, for communicating on issues that cut across disciplinary barriers, and for the dissemination of stochastic techniques used in different fields to the community of interested researchers. Original contributions will be considered dealing with modelling (theoretical and computational), measurements and instrumentation in one or more of the following topical areas:
- Spatiotemporal analysis and mapping of natural processes.
- Enviroinformatics.
- Environmental risk assessment, reliability analysis and decision making.
- Surface and subsurface hydrology and hydraulics.
- Multiphase porous media domains and contaminant transport modelling.
- Hazardous waste site characterization.
- Stochastic turbulence and random hydrodynamic fields.
- Chaotic and fractal systems.
- Random waves and seafloor morphology.
- Stochastic atmospheric and climate processes.
- Air pollution and quality assessment research.
- Modern geostatistics.
- Mechanisms of pollutant formation, emission, exposure and absorption.
- Physical, chemical and biological analysis of human exposure from single and multiple media and routes; control and protection.
- Bioinformatics.
- Probabilistic methods in ecology and population biology.
- Epidemiological investigations.
- Models using stochastic differential equations stochastic or partial differential equations.
- Hazardous waste site characterization.
