Hydrologic Model

  • TOPMODEL (Beven and Kirkby, 1979 and later) applied to each subwatershed.
  • Temperature and radiation based potential (reference) evapotranspiration.
  • Vegetation based interception component.
  • Modified soil zone
    • Adjust ET based on soil moisture availability in root zone
    • Infiltration excess runoff generation capabiity
    • unsaturated storage and drainage
  • Parameters scaled by GIS average properties over each subwatershed.
  • Kinematic wave routing of streamflow through channel network.
