Investigation of MISDc model performance to simulate runoff in Kashkan Afrine basin in Lorestan province

Authors

Abstract:

Today, increase in flood frequency and intensity, and flash flood events have caused environmental issues and increased human and economic losses. As a result, numerous tools and new programs for flood forecasting systems and risk management programs are being used in the relevant period. There are models that make it easy to be used for this purpose. In this research, MISDc model was applied to investigate the runoff of Kashkan Afrine basin in Lorestan province. MISDc is one of the semi-distributed rainfall runoff models that is implemented to estimate floods. In order to simulate daily river flow using the MISDc model, daily rainfall, temperature and flow data of the basin, for a 12 year period (2004-2015) were used. In the calibration period (first 9 years), by calibrating 9 parameters of the model, the optimum values of river flow were obtained, and were used in the validation period (the last 3 years data). In order to evaluate the simulation accuracy of the model, Nash-Sutcliff (NS) and R2 criterea were used. According to the results, simulation accuracy based on evaluation criteria values (NS and R2) were 0.68 and 0.56 for the calibration period (2004-2012) and 0.74 and 0.57 for the validation period (2013-2015), rspectively. These results indicate the ability of the model to simulate the runoff of the basin. Moreover, the results of observed and simulated hydrographs comparison show that the model can well simulate the flow of the studied basin, especially peak peaks.

Drought Effects on Vegetation Changes in Kashkan Basin of Lorestan Using ETM + and OLI Landsat Data

Background and objectives: Vegetation is one of the most important elements of an ecosystem, which is directly related to the moisture conditions of the land. Estimation of plant drought indices such as VCI, TCI, VHI is an effective tool to assess the effects of drought by calculating NDVI. In this regard, several studies have been conducted that explain how to calculate and use these indicator...

Mapping Natural Resources Vulnerability to Droughts Using Multi-Criteria Decision Making and GIS (Case Study: Kashkan Basin Lorestan Province, Iran)

Zagros Mountains in west of Iran are covered by unique forests and rangelands. Increasing population, low level of development and high dependence of local people on natural resources for primary livelihood needs resulted in degradation of Zagros forests and rangelands. Along with these factors, since the last decade, climate change including severe drought is an important issue in the world, p...
