Geographic information systems (GIS)-based spatially distributed model for runoff routing
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is proposed for routing spatially distributed excess precipitation over a watershed to produce runoff at its outlet. The land surface is represented by a (raster) digital elevation model from which the stream network is derived. A routing response function is defined for each digital elevation model cell so that water movement from cell to cell can be convolved to give a response function along a flow path and responses from all cells can be summed to give the outlet hydrograph. An example application of analysis of runoff on Waller Creek in Austin, Texas, is presented.

Comparison of Three GIS-Based Hydrological Models
Three geographic information system GIS -based distributed hydrological models were developed for flood simulation and forecasting in a subbasin of the Yellow River. A grid-and-topography-based distributed hydrological physical model, i.e., the GTOPMODEL model, is described that includes vegetation and root interception, evapotranspiration, and runoff generation via the saturation excess mechan...

In the last decades RS and GIS technology have been increasingly used for hydrological applications. Hydrological parameters estimation is strongly related to land cover composition. This study examines the impact of different approaches to estimate land cover distribution on the prediction and the spatial pattern of surface runoff. Land cover fractions are derived at sub-pixel scale from CHRIS...
