Statistical estimation of runoff characteristics of watersheds in central Chile

چکیده
Estimation of monthly runoff statistical properties, such as monthly means and variances, is usually needed to design and evaluate water resource systems. If no local recorded data are available, a transfer of information through different alternative procedures can be used. In this paper, the use of linear Transfer Function (TF) models with precipitation series as inputs is proposed to estimate statistical properties of the resulting runoff series. Empirical relationships based on data from watersheds in the mountainous zone of central Chile are suggested to estimate parameters of low-order TF models and some of their properties. Estimation régionale des ressources en eau dans des bassins versants nivo-pluviaux du Chili central Résumé Les propriétés statistiques des débits moyens mensuels sont habituellement employées pour étudier et analyser les systèmes d'utilisation des ressources en eau. Si l'on ne dispose pas de données sur le site d'étude pour estimer ces propriétés, il est nécessaire d'utiliser les méthodes alternatives qui sont proposées dans la littérature hydrologique. Dans ce travail on présente l'utilisation de modèles du type Fonction de Transfert (FT) entre les pluies et les débits mensuels pour estimer les propriétés statistiques des séries de débits moyens mensuels. On a pour cela déterminé des relations empiriques entre les propriétés de bassins versants nivo-pluviaux du Chili central et les paramètres de modèles de type FT d'ordre inférieur.

Estimation of Runoff using Modified SCS Models
In recent decades, due to the importance of watershed management programs and the need for adequate information and correct estimation of rainfall and runoff, many conceptual models have been proposed. These models have parameters that must be estimated according to observational data. However, finding the optimal values for the parameters of simulation models has always faced uncertainty. One ...

Erosion plots are basically used for studying erosion processes and many related problems. However, the possibility to extend the results of experimental plots to surrounding watersheds is rarely taken into account. In the present study, an attempt was made to study on the accuracy of soil erosion plots in estimation of runoff and sediment yield from small watersheds. Towards this attempt, 12 ...

Determination of river runoff is essential in design and construction of most hydraulic structures including dams. In rivers with no measurement stations, the hydraulic models can be used for data estimation. SWAT is one of the most widely-used numerical models. In this model, input influential meteorological data as precipitation, temperature, wind speed, solar radiation and relative humidity...
