Modelización en Geografía Física.-Hydrology in a Mediterranean mountain environment, the Vallcebre Research Basins (North Eastern Spain). IV. Testing hydrological and erosion models

Abstract

ABSTRACT Three modelling exercises were carried out in the Vallcebre research basins in order to both improve the understanding of the hydrological processes and test the adequacy of some models in such Mediterranean mountain conditions. These exercises consisted of i) the analysis of the hydrological role of the agricultural terraces using the TOPMODEL topographic index, ii) the parameterisation of TOPMODEL using internal basin information, and iii) a test of the erosion model KINEROS2 for simulating badlands erosion.
