Book of Abstracts & Posters 1 INTRODUCTION This compendium of abstracts gathers the oral and posters presentations that have been given during the conference EcoHydrology ' 2015. It is organized into four main topics: (I) Approaches to modeling and management of eco-hydrological processes (II) Methods and models for the determination of environmental flows in rivers and estuaries (III) Social and economic values of water-related ecosystem services (IV) Environmental monitoring and measuring of water-related natural processes The Unesco demosites network in EcoHydrology was also presented. It serves as a platform where to implement in a coherent way the topics of this conference. It is already the case, as illustrated during the conference, for the applied research developed by the master students of the Erasmus Mundus network in EcoHydrology. Ecohydrology’2015 is the second conference of a biennial cycle that is expected to run until 2021 in the frame of the International Hydrological Programme of the UNESCO. The Steering committee was composed by: G. Arduino (UNESCO), Prof. M. Zalewski (ERCE), Prof. MC Clain (IHE), Prof. L. Chichario (Univ. Algarve) and Dr.P. Breil The core scientific committee was composed by: Dr. G. Arduino (UNESCO), Dr. P. Breil (IRSTEA), Dr. M. Cottet (ENS) Dr. Ph. Namour (ISA) and Prof. P. Parasiewicz (IRS). Dr. P. BREIL, who chairs this second conference, has edited this compendium. 2 Table of Content INTRODUCTION ..................................................................................................... 1 List of first authors by names ................................................................................. 7 Topic 1 : Approaches to modeling and management of eco-hydrological processes ............................................................................................................................ 10 COUPLING HYDROLOGY AND MICROBIAL COMMUNITY DYNAMICS IN URBANIZED AREAS: INSIGHTS FROM THE RIVER TEVERE (ROME, ITALY) ............................................................. 12 STORMWATER INFILTRATION IN A PERI-URBAN CATCHMENT: WHERE DOES THE WATER GO? ....................................................................................................................................... 14 CAN WE COMBINE THE PLUVIAL FLOODING CONTROL AND THE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES PRESERVATION IN SMALL STREAMS EXPOSED TO A RAPID URBAN DEVELOPMENT? ......... 17 PREDICTING STREAMFLOW REGIME FOR ECOLOGICAL STUDIES IN TEMPORARY RIVERS .. 19 THE DYNAMICS OF WOOD VEGETATION COVERAGE AND DEEP SOIL MOISTURE IN DRYLAND ECOSYSTEMS ........................................................................................................ 21 MULTICRITERIA DECISION-MAKING UNDER UNCERTAINTY: A GRAPHICAL APPROACH FOR COMPARING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF URBAN FLOOD RISKSMANAGEMENTSTRATEGIES .. 23 CAN CATCHMENT-WIDE STORMWATER RETENTION REALLY RESTORE AN URBAN STREAM?
