Abstract

Improving the capacity to make predictions in ungauged basins is one of most difficult challenge for the scientific community (see for example the current initiative Prediction Ungaged Basins (PUB) launched by the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, IAHS). Whatever hydrological models are used, in view of the tremendous spatio-temporal heterogeneity of climatic and landscape properties, extrapolation of information, or knowledge, from gauged to ungauged basins remains fraught with considerable difficulties and uncertainties, especially in the light of the generally poor understanding of where water goes when it rains, what flow path it takes to the stream, and the age of the water that emerges in the channel. The PUB problem is the key concept of this thesis and it is analysed from several point of view. Methodologies able to observe, model and predict the hydrological response at the regional scale are proposed.
