Application of the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System to the Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wash Watershed, San Juan County, New Mexico

摘要

The purpose of the study was to calibrate and verify the U.S. Geological Survey's precipitation-runoff modeling system using rainfall-runoff data collected in an arid climate. The model developed by Leavesley and others (1983) is described in the report. The data collected to calibrate the precipitation-runoff modeling system for the study area were precipitation, air temperature, solar radiation, and discharge (runoff) at the outlet of the basin. Also collected and compiled as input for the modeling system were soil, vegetation, land-surface-slope, and channel-slope characteristics. The calibration periods were May through September of 1981 and 1982, and the verification period was May through September of 1983.
