Regional Rainfall-Runoff Relations for Simulations of Streamflow for Watershed inDu Page County, Illinois

摘要

This report describes the results of a study to define and simulate regional(countywide in this study) rainfall-runoff relations for small watersheds in DuPage County, III. The report includes (1) a description of the methods of hydrologic and land-cover data collection, (2) a description of the calibration and verification procedures used for the rainfall-runoff model, and (3) the results of calibration and verification of the rainfall-runoff model. The information in this report is based primarily on rainfall and streamflow data collected by the USGS from February 1986 to Septebmer 1993 in three watersheds in Du Page County, Ill.
