WetSpa Model Application for Assessing Reforestation Impacts on Floods in Margecany–Hornad Watershed, Slovakia

Bahremand, A.; Smedt, F.; Corluy, J.; Liu, Y.; Poorova, J. - In: Water Resources Management 21 (2007) 8, pp. 1373-1391

The spatially distributed hydrologic model WetSpa working on a daily or hourly time scale combines elevation, soil and landuse data within GIS, to predict flood hydrographs and spatial distribution of hydrologic characteristics in a watershed. The model is applied to the Margecany–Hornad river...

Flood Modeling for Complex Terrain Using GIS and Remote Sensed Information

Liu, Y.; Smedt, F. - In: Water Resources Management 19 (2005) 5, pp. 605-624

A spatially distributed hydrological model WetSpa (Water and Energy Transfer between Soil, Plants and Atmosphere) working on an hourly time scale is presented in this paper. The model combines elevation, soil and land use data, and predicts flood hydrograph and the spatial distribution of...
