The accuracy of rainfall predictions in the EPA’s BASINS (Better Assessment Science Integrating Point and Nonpoint Sources) decision support tool is affected by the sparse meteorological data contained in BASINS. The objectives of this study were improvement of using the entropy theory to supplement the precipitation data are significant when the watershed’s meteorological station is either far away or not in a similar climatic region. When the station is nearby, using entropy theory to supplement the precipitation data produces similar results. And this study assessed the improvement of stream flow prediction of the Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) model contained within BASINS using the hourly precipitation estimates in Feitsui reservoir watershed. Our results demonstrated consistent improvements of daily stream flow predictions in Feitsui reservoir watersh.. Read More»
