CATCHMENT STORAGE CAPACITY AND FINAL INFILTRATION CAPACITY ESTIMATED FROM LAND USE FOR DISTRIBUTED HYDROLOGICAL MODEL

In this paper, we propose a method that catchment storage capacity and final infiltration capacity are estimated from land use for distributed hydrological model. First, we show a background and a purpose of this paper. Secondly, we outline our distributed hydrological model. Thirdly, we explain the proposed method. Fourthly, we prove that the proposed method is effective through experiments which real data is used. By using the proposed method, we will be able to set the catchment storage capacity and final infil-tration capacity quickly, and make a good runoff calculation. Finally, we comment on respects in which the proposed method is improved and on future prospects.
