Catchment runoff from precipitation and snow melt are the primary sources of water of most rivers. The possibility to accurately calculate the runoff from catchments with varying hydrological properties is crucial for, among other purposes, creating reliable hydrodynamic river models. The MIKE HYDRO River rainfall-runoff module includes a variety of catchment runoff models.
This guideline jointly published by The UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), and the UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT), in partnership with the Urban Design Lab of the Earth Institute, Columbia University, provides practical tools for city planners and decision makers to reform urban planning and infrastructure design according to the principles of eco-efficiency and social inclusiveness.
