The KIDS model (Kielstau Discharge Simulation model) is a simple rainfall-runoff model developed originally for the Kielstau catchment. To extend its range of application we applied it to a completely different catchment, the XitaoXi catchment in China. Kielstau is a small (51 km2) lowland basin in Northern Germany, with large proportion of wetland area. And XitaoXi is a mesoscale (2271 km2) mo...

Forested catchments in southeast Australia play an important role in supplying water to major cities. Over the past decades, vegetation cover in this area has been affected by major bushfires that in return influence water yield. This study tests methods for forecasting water yield after bushfire, in a forested catchment in southeast Australia. Precipitation and remotely sensed Normalized Diffe...

Primljeno (Received): 2012-02-21 Prihvaćeno (Accepted): 2012-05-15 Original scientific paper The Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (ENSC) has been modified in order to assess the quality of simulations compared to observed data from the mesophilic monofermentation of grass silage. By applying the ENSC it is not only possible to find parameter sets with the best fit, but also to analyz...

Hydrologic modeling of semi-arid watersheds is imperative for the development of appropriate water and soil conservation plans. In the current study, the efficiency of Kinematic Runoff and Erosion model-version 2 (K2) model was used to evaluate water discharge and sediment load simulation of Bar watershed, located in the north-eastern part of Iran. The K2 model relies on the kinematic wave appr...

Today, variable flow pattern, which uses static rule curves, is considered one of the challenges reservoir operation. One way to overcome this problem develop forecast-based curves. However, managers must have an estimate influence forecast accuracy on operation performance due intrinsic limitations models. This study attempts a model and investigate effects corresponding two conventional To mo...
