It supports river hydraulic and storm drain models, lumped parameter, regression, 2D hydrologic modeling of watersheds, and can be used to model both water quantity and water quality. As of January 2017 [update] , supported models include HEC-1 , HEC-RAS , HEC-HMS , TR-20 , TR-55 , NFF , Rational , MODRAT , HSPF , CE-QUAL-W2 , GSSHA , SMPDBK ...
Example 1. The linear-reservoir model (or Nash model) is widely used for rainfall-runoff analysis. The model uses a cascade of linear reservoirs along with a constant first-order storage coefficient, K, to predict the outflow from each reservoir (which is then used as the input to the next in the series).
When the response factor A can be determined from the characteristics of the watershed (catchment area), the reservoir can be used as a deterministic model or analytical model, see hydrological modelling. Otherwise, the factor A can be determined from a data record of rainfall and runoff using the method explained below under non-linear reservoir.
GIS revolutionized curation, manipulation, and input for complex computational hydrologic models [2] [3] For surface water modeling, digital elevation model are often layered with hydrographic data in order to determine the boundaries of a watershed. [4] Understanding these boundaries is integral to understanding where precipitation runoff will ...
A GIS watershed hydrology model link to evaluate water resources of the Lower Colorado River in Texas. In: Proceedings of Application of Advanced Information Technologies for the Management of Natural Resources. Sponsored by ASAE. June 17–19, 1993, Spokane, WA. Srinivasan, R. and J.G. Arnold. 1993. Basin scale water quality modeling using GIS.
The main conclusion of the study was that the HBV model can be used to predict material transport on the scale of the drainage basin during stationary conditions, but cannot be easily generalised to areas not specifically calibrated. In a different work, Castanedo et al. applied an evolutionary algorithm to automated watershed model calibration ...
Subsequently every watershed along this coast is assigned a number using the Pfafstetter Coding System. This implies that the four largest watersheds are selected and receive numbers 2,4,6, or 8. The watersheds in between the large systems receive numbers 3, 5, and 7. Numbers 1 and 9 are used for the small watersheds on the edges of the strait.
SWAT is a continuous time model that operates on a daily time step at basin scale. The objective of such a model is to predict the long-term impacts in large basins of management and also timing of agricultural practices within a year (i.e., crop rotations, planting and harvest dates, irrigation, fertilizer, and pesticide application rates and timing).
