Description

An introduction to the concepts and reductionist approach involved in the modelling of catchment processes influencing the quantity and quality of surface runoff from a catchment. Also introduced are the different forms of models, how these models are combined to provide a catchment modelling system, and implementation of catchment modelling systems. The information and data required for operation of these modelling systems and sources of this information are also discussed. Finally, the calibration, validation, and reliability of catchment modelling systems is presented.
