The IHACRES model has been successfully applied to many catchments across the UK including regionalization studies (e.g. Sefton and Howarth, 1998; Littlewood, 2003). However, while the previous formulation of the non-linear module performs well in calibration and simulation, the module has some identified deficiencies in the representation of the impacts of climate change on volume of streamflo...

Model-based design constructs physical systems in two stages. First, a ea~al friction network (CRN) of quantities that entails the desired behavior is constructed from a domain model. Second, a physical system is designed by assembling components such that all the causal relations specified by the CRN are imposed. The Compositional Model-based Design method, CMD, simplifies the design of comple...
