Comparison of Hydrologic Simulations using Regionalised and Catchment-Calibrated Parameter Sets for three Catchments in England
نویسنده
چکیده
The objective of this study is to assess the performance of a regional hydrological model in catchments treated as ungauged. The Catchment Resources and Soil Hydrology (CRASH) model is a daily, catchment-scale, rainfall-runoff model that has been previously regionalised for England and Wales. In this paper, the regional CRASH is evaluated in three catchments located in East Anglia – eastern England and it is compared to the catchment-specifically calibrated CRASH. The results demonstrate that the performance criteria are met in the three catchments for both the Nash-Sutcliffe (R) and the percent bias efficiency indexes. The R results of the regional CRASH in the three catchments (0.70, 0.56 and 0.48) compare well with another study in one of the catchments using another hydrological model specifically calibrated and are within the range of results from other simulation studies in ungauged catchments in England, Australia, Canada and Norway. The degradation between the regional and the catchment specific models is only limited for all the efficiency indexes. Finally, the uncertainty analysis on the model parameters showed that there is a reasonable confidence in the regional model.

One of the challenges for hydrologists is finding a new method for hydrologic classification of catchments. An appropriate classification method can be effective in many branches of hydrologic science like modeling. To deal with the complexity and nonlinearity of hydrologic processes, some researchers have proposed using the chaos theory for catchment classification. In this research, possibili...
متن کاملPhysically, Fully-Distributed Hydrologic Simulations Driven by GPM Satellite Rainfall over an Urbanizing Arid Catchment in Saudi Arabia
A physically-based, distributed-parameter hydrologic model was used to simulate a recent flood event in the city of Hafr Al Batin, Saudi Arabia to gain a better understanding of the runoff generation and spatial distribution of flooding. The city is located in a very arid catchment. Flooding of the city is influenced by the presence of three major tributaries that join the main channel in and a...
متن کاملModelling spring flood in the area of the Upper Volga basin
Integrated river-basin management for the Volga river requires understanding and modelling of the flow process in its macro-scale tributary catchments. At the example of the Kostroma catchment (16 000 km2), a method combining existing hydrologic simulation tools was developed that allows operational modelling even when data are scarce. Emphasis was placed on simulation of three processes: snow ...

Accurate estimation of input parameters is essential to ensure the accuracy and reliability of hydrologic and water quality modelling. Calibration is an approach to obtain accurate input parameters for comparing observed and simulated results. However, the calibration approach is limited as it is only applicable to catchments where monitoring data is available. Therefore, methodology to estimat...
متن کاملDevelopment and application of a catchment similarity index for subsurface flow
[1] In this study, we develop a similarity parameter to describe shallow subsurface hydrological response of small catchments on the basis of the hillslope‐Péclet number. This new similarity parameter, named the catchment‐Péclet (caPe) number, provides a theoretical framework to compare the relative hydrologic response derived from shallow subsurface flow of small catchments on the basis of geo...
