Abstract

The aim of this study was to simulate dominant runoff generation processes (DRPs) in a mesoscale catchment in southwestern Germany with the physically-based distributed hydrological model WaSiM-ETH and to compare the resulting DRP patterns with a data-mining-based digital soil map. The model was parameterized by using 11 Pedo-transfer functions (PTFs) and driven by multiple synthetic rainfall events. For the pattern comparison, a multiple-component spatial performance metric (SPAEF) was applied. The simulated DRPs showed a large variability in terms of land use, applied rainfall rates, and the different PTFs, which highly influence the rapid runoff generation under wet conditions.
Keywords: data-mining-based digital soil mapping; spatial pattern comparison; water balance modeling; spatial efficiency metric data-mining-based digital soil mapping; spatial pattern comparison; water balance modeling; spatial efficiency metric
