Development of Dynamic Non-Hortonian Watershed Models for Steeply Sloping Forested Watersheds: Application to Eastern Kentucky

摘要

A comprehensive conceptual watershed model is developed to simulate the hydrologic response of steeply sloping forested watersheds. Two non-Hortonian and two Hortonian models were first tested with data from selected watersheds in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky in order to understand the difference mechanisms of flow responsible for storm hydrograph generation in this type of watersheds.
