Stream Flow and Sediment Yield Modeling: A Case Study of Beles Watershed, Upper Blue Nile Basin
Author(s): Nadew BNadew B
Modeling provides important planning tools that can be used in management of land and water resources which can be used in the understanding of dynamic processes and prediction of the existing processes. The evolution of a wide range of hydrologic catchment models employing the physical based and data driven approach introduces the need for objective test benchmark to assess the merits of different models in reconciling alternative approaches. The main objective of this study was to model stream flow and sediment yield by using ANN and SWAT models for the Upper Main Beles gauged catchment. The two models were calibrated and validated at Main Beles gauging station for both stream flow and sediment yield yielding reasonable results in monthly and daily time step. Two days antecedent values were considered during formulation of possible inputs for daily basis and no antecedent value were.. Read More»
