English Abstract

Flow forecasting is needed for many aspects of water resources management, operation of hydrologic structures and flood hazard – are just some of the aspects.

The objective of the study is to try in a comparative mannar to apply several rainfall- runoff models to Eldiem station catchment of the Blue Nile in an attempt to forecast flows at the outlet of the catchment for its importance in operation and management aspects of Sudan work resources.

Several models are applied for forecasting flow of Blue Nile river at El Diem station.

These models are the ones grouped in GFFS (Galway flow forecasting system).

These models are applied in simulation mode.

In addition the soil moisture accounting model developed by HMS as a semi distributed model is also used.

A comparison based on model efficiency is made for the applied models, higher efficiency is obtained by LPM model, and therefore the model is recommended to be used for forecasting river flow at El Diem in the Sudan-Ethiopia border.
