Shiva Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I extracted different hydrographs at different locations in the watershed. I found most of the flow coming towards the outlet was from down stream portion of the watershed (You can see in the attachment). So I created a smaller watershed (I deleted the upper portion of the watershed)for that area and I ran the model. But the smaller watershed hydrograph is showing less volume and low peak. With the original watershed, N-E branch portion giving a peak flow of 140 cms. But after I consider the small watershed with the same parameters, peak flow reduced to 55 cms. Why the flow is changing even though I used the same parameters. Please see the attached word document.Hydrographs.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Barlow Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Shiva,Your document suggests that you're using radar rainfall. Is this so you can derive a basin average rainfall value, or are you using the radar rainfall grids to distribute rainfall over the watershed?Clark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using radar-rainfall grids for my model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Barlow Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Shiva,If you're not using the rainfall grids to derive a basin average rainfall depth, it's hard to say what the problem might be without looking at your model. What other processes are you trying to model? Have you tried sending the model to tech support?Clark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
