Watershedfunctions Site cha- racteristics Relevant for • Rainfall • Land form • Soil type • Rooting depth (natural vegetation) 1. Transmit water 2. Buffer peak rain events 3. Release gradually 4. Maintain quality 5. Reduce mass wasting • Downstream water users, • esp. living in floodplains & river beds, • esp. without storage • or purification • at foot of slope
GenRiver 1.0 a simple model that translates a plot-level water balance to landscape level river flow Land cover influences: * evapotranspiration -> water yield (immediate) * infiltration (medium term ~ soil type)
Unit hydrograph – what happens to an ‘average’ drop of rainfall? 1. Interception & evaporation from wet surfaces 1 4 2. Overland flow into streams: quickflow 3. Subsurface flow into streams: ‘interflow’ or ‘soilquickflow’ 2 4. Uptake by plants for transpiration (+ soil evaporation) 3 5 5. Gradual release to streams through deep soil pathways
The core of the model : Patch level represent daily water balance, driven by local rain rainfall and modified by land cover and soil properties of the patch
The patch can contribute to three types of stream flow : • Surface quick flow – on the day of rain event • Soil quick flow – on the next day after rain event • Base flow – via gradual release of groundwater

Step 2 – Lack of Infiltration => overland flow • Two conditions lead to overland flow: • Surface infiltrability less than required during storm (‘Hortonian’ overland flow, ‘sealing’ of the surface’); 1 2 • slope, surface roughness and rainfall intensity determine the time available for infiltration • Saturation-limited: surface soil layers are saturated and rate of outflow determines possible rate of inflow 1.
