Parsimonious Catchment and River Flow Modelling
It is increasingly the case that models are being developed as “evolving” products rather than one-off application tools, such that auditable modelling versus ad hoc treatment of models becomes a pivotal issue. Auditable modelling is particularly vital to “parsimonious modelling” aimed at meeting specific modelling requirements. This paper outlines various contributory factors and aims to seed ...
متن کاملThermodynamics, maximum power, and the dynamics of preferential river flow structures at the continental scale
The organization of drainage basins shows some reproducible phenomena, as exemplified by self-similar fractal river network structures and typical scaling laws, and these have been related to energetic optimization principles, such as minimization of stream power, minimum energy expenditure or maximum “access”. Here we describe the organization and dynamics of drainage systems using thermodynam...
متن کاملConnectivity due to preferential flow controls water flow and solute transport at the hillslope scale
Understanding the major controls on water flow and solute transport at the hillslope scale remains a major topic of research despite numerous hillslope experiments at different sites around the world. For example, the influence of lateral preferential flow due to pipes or macropores in the subsurface flow is still unresolved. Experiments show the often paradoxical finding of fast entry of event...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional modelling of preferential water flow and pesticide transport from a tile-drained field
Preferential flow through soil macropores in tile drained soils can significantly increase the risk of pollution of surface water bodies by agricultural chemicals such as pesticides. While many field studies have shown the importance of preferential flow in tile-drained fields, few have included detailed numerical modelling of the processes involved. The objective of this study was to compare f...
متن کاملCommon problematic aspects of coupling hydrological models with groundwater flow models on the river catchment scale
Model coupling requires a thorough conceptualisation of the coupling strategy, including an exact definition of the individual model domains, the “transboundary” processes and the exchange parameters. It is shown here that in the case of coupling groundwater flow and hydrological models – in particular on the regional scale – it is very important to find a common definition and scale-appropriat...
