Ecosystems and the physical infrastructure of the human societies are modulated to normal climate conditions and land use practices, and often poorly equipped to cope with hydrologic extremes (both floods and droughts). Shifts in the frequency of extreme events can have more detrimental impacts than a change in average climate conditions. Changes in the frequency and magnitude of hydrologic extremes (droughts and floods) are fundamental to sound water resources engineering design studies and efficient operations and management of water conveyance and storage structures.
At AqCESo we understands the science of climate change and land use practices and their potential effects on small, medium and large sized water resources systems in urbanized and non-urban watershed. We provide solutions for a wide range of hydrologic risk problems including drought and flood assessment and mapping.
