<br />6,1,3,1 Types of Rainfall-Runoff Models <br /> <br />1. Lumped Parameter Model- ThiS type of model transforms rainfall into runoff at only one <br />particular spatial location. Flow rates and water levels are computed separately, <br /> <br />Examole <br /> <br />Advantaaes <br /> <br />Disadvantaae~ <br /> <br />1, Una Hydrograph <br /> <br />1, Parameters can be <br />tratlsferrecl to other <br />locations" <br /> <br />1. Usually is a linear <br />process, <br /> <br />2, Parameters may not <br />have direct physical <br />meanings. <br /> <br />2, Distributed Parameter Model- This type of model transforms rainfall into runoff at <br />several spatial locations, Distritluted models compute flow rates and water levels <br />simullaneously, <br /> <br />Examole <br /> <br />Advantaaes <br /> <br />Disadvantaqe~ <br /> <br />1, Kinematic Wave <br /> <br />1, IS physically based, <br /> <br />1, Requires detailed <br />spatial precipllation <br />estimates for model <br />calibration - verllication, <br /> <br />2, Gain knowledge of <br />watershed system through <br />model setup, <br /> <br />3, Can quickly modify <br />basin features. <br /> <br />Colorado Flood <br />Hydrology Manual <br /> <br />6,3 <br /> <br />a:w=r <br />
