Event vs. Continuous Simulation
Neither model provides mass closure for the entire hydrologic cycle.
Event
• simple
• infiltration losses are a sink
• difficult to initialize
Continuous
• more physical processes represented
• antecedent storm conditions are known
• complex -- many more parameters
PROS &CONS
hydrologic/hydraulic design flood forecasting
real time water control water resources planning climate change impacts on streamflow
Event Continuous

- Develop GIS/hydrology procedures applicable anywhere in the U.S.
- Does added information improve runoff estimates? -- Particularly with regard to the validation stage.
- Make results reproducible by automating and working from standard databases.
- What spatial scales and modeling complexity are practical and useful?

• Watershed boundaries
• Flowlength grid
• STATSGO/SSURGO coverage w/ component and layer tables
1. Calculate soil component properties using attribute tables and lookup table
Component properties dBase file

2. Intersect the precipitation cells with the watershed boundary
3. Determine the component names and component percentages in each NEXRAD cell.
4. Determine the average flowlength from each NEXRAD cell the watershed outlet.

+ Add spatial information
+ Automate/Create a Reproducible Product
- Increase computational burden
Accounting for spatial variability in a simple way increases the computational burden in the Little Washita by a factor of :
55 cells * 10 components/cell = 550

Evaporation
Evaporation depends on many factors including :
• energy available at the surface• water content of the soils• soil type• vegetation characteristics• atmospheric conditions

• PE changes as soil dries out.
• Penman-Monteith is widely cited alternative but how do you determine surface resistance, especially when the soil begins to dry out?
