Construction and Application of Grid-Xin'anjiang Model Within Daheba Watershed in Shaanxi Province by HE Chengmin, GU Zhao

“…Taking Daheba watershed,the tributary of Hanjiang River in Shaanxi Province as the study area,this paper constructs the Grid-Xin'anjiang model through DEM (Digital Elevation Model) data analysis and geomorphic feature parameter extraction,applies it to simulate and analyze the runoff process of the watershed and the dynamic changes of spatial distribution of free water content,and carries out the flood simulation verification by the measured data of 7 flood in the special hydrological station of Daheba from 2011 to 2014 to verify the reliability of the constructed Grid-Xin'anjiang model.The results show that the simulation error of peak discharge can be controlled below 20% basically,the error of peak time is within 3 h,and the uncertainty coefficient is above 0.78,which indicating that the Grid-Xin'anjiang model can satisfactorily simulate the flood processes within Daheba watershed of Shaanxi Province.At the same time,taking the rainfall runoff process on July 16,2013 and July 25,2013 as an example,it analyzes the dynamic change of spatial distribution of free water content.As a result,combined with the physical meaning of free water content,the development of rainfall process and the evaluation of flood process precision at the outlet of the watershed,it can be concluded that the Grid-Xin'anjiang model can simulate the dynamic distribution of free water content accurately.…”
