Base Catchment Modelling in Urban Runoff Simulation

Journal article, 1991

The selection of numerical model and the transformation of catchment data into ‘input data’ are two fundamental problems in urban runoff simulation. They are discussed from a general point of view. A numerical solution method for the kinematic wave equations is proposed for base catchment modeling. In connection to this solution a methodology for the generation of input data representing the individual base catchment is presented.
