A Comparison of Rainfall-Runoff Models

摘要: Five different rainfall - runoff models including three sophisticated conceptual (Sacramento, Stanford and Monash Models), a simple model (Boughton Model) black-box or purely mathematical method involving recursive time series alogirithm were tested on catchments in the south-west region of Western Australia. A variety techniques used to assess performance each which calibrated about six years data then further seven extra data. As well as objective comparison models, subjective assessment user computation aspects calibration is presented. All except Boughton Model performed satisfactory manner with Sacramento Time Series Method being given overall recommendation.
