Sommario/riassunto

Depuis une trentaine d'années, l'étude des ordres militaires au Moyen Âge a enregistré un profond renouvellement auquel Alain Demurger a particulièrement œuvré. Derrière l'histoire politique, par-delà les rouages institutionnels, la recherche s'est toujours plus attachée à considérer les hommes. Pourtant, la question des élites, s'agissant des frères, n'a jamais été analysée sinon de façon ponctuelle. En considérant à la fois les élites sociales, nobles ou citadines, les élites de pouvoir et de gouvernement et les propres élites des ordres militaires, ce livre n'apporte pas seulement un nouvel éclairage sur l'histoire des frères. Il contribue plus largement à la connaissance des sociétés médiévales, du xiie au xve siècle, depuis la péninsule Ibérique jusqu'à la Baltique et à l'Orient méditerranéen.

Sommario/riassunto

This book is a collection of 12 papers describing the role of hydrology in water resources management. The papers can be divided s according to their area of focus as 1) modeling of hydrological processes, 2) use of modern techniques in hydrological analysis, 3) impact of human pressure and climate change on water resources, and 4) hydrometeorological extremes. Belonging to the first area is the presentation of a new Muskingum flood routing model, a new tool to perform frequency analysis of maximum precipitation of a specified duration via the so-named PMAXΤP model (Precipitation MAXimum Time (duration) Probability), modeling of interception processes, and using a rainfall-runoff GR2M model to calculate monthly runoff. For the second area, the groundwater potential was evaluated using a model of multi-influencing factors in which the parameters were optimized by using geoprocessing tools in geographical information system (GIS) in combination with satellite altimeter data and the reanalysis of hydrological data to simulate overflow transport  using the Nordic Sea as an example. Presented for the third area are a water balance model for the comparison of water resources with the needs of water users, the idea of adaptive water management, impacts of climate change, and anthropogenic activities on the runoff in catchment located in the western Himalayas of Pakistan. The last area includes spatiotemporal analysis of rainfall variability with regard to drought hazard and use of the copula function to meteorologically analyze drought.
