Lesson 4 - Rainfall Runoff (Water Management Modeling Series)

This webinar will cover some simple lumped runoff simulators. I will also walk through the AWBM model in detail and talk about how it can be applied in real models, followed by a demonstration. I will also talk about issues to watch out for and how to run verification testing and calibration. In particular, we will discuss how GoldSim might be inserting unscheduled time steps and how to deal with this while using hydrological models that rely only on a constant time step. Below are the 3 main examples I cover in this presentation:

• Simple Watershed yield
• Australian Water Balance Model
• Sacramento Runoff Model
