Automated catchment scale modelling of hydrological phenomena and water quality

An automated approach to hydrologic and water quality modeling on a catchment scale is presented, one that automatically produces suitable models from domain knowledge measured data. essential component of the methodology library, comprising hydrological nutrient loading processes containing alternative formulations for some them. The library written in formalism compatible with equation discovery tool ProBMoT. Given user specification task, ProBMoT searches space candidate encoded library. generated are optimized against provided data, best-fitted model proposed as most observed system. was applied Quarteira River (Algarve, Portugal). Analysis average annual balance, sediment yields, loadings support findings previous research work, while results comparable or better than obtained SWAT model.
