متن کاملFlash flood and sediment modeling with TREX
TREX is a physically-based, distributed model that simulates flash floods, sediment transport, and chemical transport and fate processes at the watershed scale. Basic processes in TREX include precipitation, interception, infiltration, surface runoff, and channel flow, erosion and deposition of upland soil and channel bed sediment, and chemical transport. TREX is readily coupled with standard G...
