Abstract EN
A watershed hydrological model, hydrological simulation program-Fortran (HSPF), was applied to simulate the spatial and temporal variation of hydrological processes in the Jiaoyi watershed of Huaihe River Basin, the heaviest shortage of water resources and polluted area in China.
The model was calibrated using the years 2001–2004 and validated with data from 2005 to 2006.
Calibration and validation results showed that the model generally simulated mean monthly and daily runoff precisely due to the close matching hydrographs between simulated and observed runoff, as well as the excellent evaluation indicators such as Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), coefficient of correlation (R2), and the relative error (RE).
The similar simulation results between calibration and validation period showed that all the calibrated parameters had a certain representation in Jiaoyi watershed.
Additionally, the simulation in rainy months was more accurate than the drought months.
Another result in this paper was that HSPF was also capable of estimating the water balance components reasonably and realistically in space through the whole watershed.
The calibrated model can be used to explore the effects of climate change scenarios and various watershed management practices on the water resources and water environment in the basin.
