Abstract:

An attempt was made in this paper to explore how catchment’s states along with optimization characteristics affect model behaviour. The Xin’anjiang model was calibrated under daily forecast mode by using various hypothetical initial conditions of the catchment with the SCE-UA optimization algorithm. It was found that initial conditions of the catchment viz-a-viz optimization characteristics have profound effect on the optimized parameters and to a lesser degree on the model process parameter responses; the result showed that variable initial conditions do not have significant influence on the total generated runoff.
