Hydrologic processes in depression-dominated areas are controlled by the spatial distribution of surface depressions and their dynamic hydrologic connectivity. Existing models often utilize lumped ways to handle depressions, hence features lost this simplification process. In study, a unique watershed-scale, semi-distributed model accounting for connectivity (HYDROL-DC) is developed functionali...

Efficient numerical simulation of process interactions between infiltration and Hortonian runoff is needed to evaluate patterns of internal state variables and fluxes within a watershed. A fully distributed rainfallerunoff model was developed for event-based studies of spaceetime watershed processes. A routing hierarchy was defined over the watershed using the D-infinity contributing area algor...

Distributed/semi-distributed models are considered to be sensitive to the spatial resolution of the data input. In this paper, we take a small catchment in high urbanized Yangtze River Delta, Qinhuai catchment as study area, to analyze the impact of spatial resolution of precipitation and the potential evapotranspiration (PET) on the long-term runoff and flood runoff process. The data source in...

[Background] Mountain torrent disasters are one of the deadliest weather-related natural in world, often causing extremely serious economic and property losses casualties; recent years, due to heavy rainfall complex geological geomorphological conditions, mountain have occurred frequently Gansu Province. An effective rainfall-runoff model is key prevent them. There still many problems about how...

Implementation and validation of a flow routing scheme for the North American domain of the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM) is described. A variable velocity flow routing algorithm is used to transport runoff from the land surface to the continental edges and provide freshwater flux forcing for the oceans. The flow routing scheme uses Manning’s equation to estimate flow velocities for ri...

Changing of precipitation regime and intensification extreme storms in semi-arid regions because climate change requires the use numerical models to forecast outlet hydrographs. In this paper, HEC-HMS software was applied using a loss method curve number CN estimate excess parametric unit hydrograph model compute transformation into direct runoff over watershed. The Muskingum-Cunge routing used...

This thesis summarises development and application of a hydrological model for simulating forest canopy processes, snow accumulation and melt, soil and ground water interactions, and streamflow routing. A motivation behind the model development is to outline a methodology for predicting the influence of land use changes on catchment hydrological processes. In addition, the development aims at p...

This paper presents a distributed model that is in operational use for forecasting flash floods in northern Austria. The main challenge in developing the model was parameter identification which was addressed by a modelling strategy that involved a model structure defined at the model element scale and multi-source model identification. The model represents runoff generation on a grid basis and...
