Hybrid physical-statistical framework for seasonal streamflow forecasting in the Upper Feather River Basin, California
Özcan, Zeynep; Iseri, Y.; Ulloa, F.; Imbulana, N.; Snider, E.; Mure-Ravaud, M.; Anderson, M. L.; Kavvas, M. L. (2025-08-01)
Seasonal streamflow forecasts are essential given climate-driven extremes that breach stationarity in traditional methods. The complex hydrology and competing demands necessitate improved forecasting in the Upper Feather R...
Seasonal Flow Forecasting in the Sacramento River Basin: An Application in the American River Watershed
Snider, E.; Kavvas, M.L.; Iseri, Y.; Imbulana, N.; Ulloa, F.; Özcan, Zeynep; Anderson, M.L. (2025-01-01)
Forecasting monthly flow in the Sacramento River Basin is vital for water resources planning and management in the state of California. One important subbasin is the American River Watershed, located to the east of Sacrame...
Seasonal Inflow Forecasting Based on a Physically Based Hydro-Climatic Model for the Shasta Lake Basin, California
Imbulana, N.; Kavvas, M.L.; Iseri, Y.; Ulloa, F.; Hiraga, Y.; Özcan, Zeynep; Snider, E.; Daniels, B.; Anderson, M.L. (2025-01-01)
Seasonal forecasting is essential for effective water resource management, but it remains challenging, especially in the context of climate change and the added uncertainty it brings. It is becoming increasingly clear that...
A Seasonal Forecasting System for the Sacramento River Basin in California: Coupled Atmospheric-Hydrologic Numerical Model WEHY-HCM Integrated with a Lead Time-Dependent Seasonal Statistical Filternet
Kavvas, M.L.; Iseri, Y.; Ulloa, F.; Imbulana, N.; Özcan, Zeynep; Snider, E.; Daniels, B.; Anderson, M.L. (2025-01-01)
To forecast monthly river flows at Sacramento River Basin in California during February-July period of a year, a numerical atmospheric/hydrologic modeling system was coupled with a statistical updating system to create a s...
Evaluation of a WEHY-HCM Seasonal Forecasting System of Monthly Flows for the Yuba River Basin in California
Ulloa, F.; Kavvas, M.L.; Iseri, Y.; Imbulana, N.; Özcan, Zeynep; Snider, E.; Daniels, B.; Anderson, M.L. (2025-01-01)
We present the results and evaluation of a Seasonal Forecasting System based on the Watershed Environmental Hydrology-Hydroclimate Model (WEHY-HCM) applied to the Yuba River Basin. The forecasting system takes 15 members f...
Integrated Methodology for Seasonal Inflow Forecasting: A Case Study of the Upper Feather River Basin
Özcan, Zeynep; Kavvas, M.L.; Iseri, Y.; Imbulana, N.; Ulloa, F.; Snider, E.; Anderson, M.L. (2025-01-01)
Seasonal inflow forecasting is crucial for managing water resources and understanding climate impacts on river systems. Recent extreme events have exposed the limitations of traditional statistical water supply forecasting...

Evaluation of Water-Energy Nexus in Sakarya River Basin, Turkey
Özcan, Zeynep; Aydınalp Köksal, Merih; Alp, Emre (2020-1-01)
Achieving sustainable water-energy relationship is especially important for semi-arid regions. Water consumption due to electricity generation can reach up to 8.4% of the total water potential in the study area. Between 65...
Least Cost Optimization in Middle Sakarya River Basin with the focus on Water-Energy Nexus
Özcan, Zeynep; Alp, Emre (null; 2019-12-13)
Water-energy systems have an interconnected relationship. While water is needed to generate energy, energy is required for water extraction, treatment, and distribution. It is important to understand this relationship sinc...
Evaluation of the best management practices in a semi-arid region with high agricultural activity
Özcan, Zeynep; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Alp, Emre (Elsevier BV, 2017-12)
The arid and semi-arid regions with water scarcity are vulnerable to several stressors such as urbanization, high water demand created by agricultural and industrial activities, point and non-point pollution sources, and c...
