Short summary
The design of hydraulic structures where storage is involved, requires estimates of joint probability distribution of flood volumes and flood peaks. The problem of choosing a joint distribution was so far approached more from a statistical point of view. In the paper the suitability of various copula models of this relationships was analysed with a particular focus on the type and seasonality of flood generation processes in a regional context.

An evaluation of changes in the snow water equivalent (SWE) during the period of 1961- 2010 in the representative catchment of the mountainous regions in Central Slovakia is provided in this paper. Simulated values of the SWE by a conceptual semi-distributed rainfall-runoff model in different altitude zones were analysed. A decrease in the simulated data and the snow duration with significant decreasing trends in December, January and February were detected in the highest altitude zone.

Short summary
This paper is devoted to the SCN-CN method. The aim of the study was to derive empirical regional runoff CNs based on rainfall and discharge measurements for selected region in Slovakia. The CNs were treated as a random variable and were divided into three classes (I,II and III) with percentiles limits (0.10 and 0.90) of their distribution. A regional relationship for estimating coefficient λ was proposed. Finally, empirical regional runof curves with coefficient λ were derived.
