what is rainfall runoff modelling?

A runoff model is a mathematical model describing the rainfall–runoff relations of
rainfall catchment area, drainage basin or watershed. More precisely, it produces a
surface runoff hydrograph in response to a rainfall event, represented by and input as
a hyetograph.

Basic
Information
Characteristics
Entry Term Water ‐
Entry Average 467.1 m3/s to 48
 Slow no rapid runoff ‐ 97 million hours when floods
m3
 Mud/silt
 Deep Catchment Area ‐
226 km2
 Hard to cross
because it is deep
 LOCATION

 Timah Tasoh Reservoir is located near the Thailand border. The reservoir has
a mean surface area of 13.33 km2 and a storage capacity of about 40 million m3.
 The reservoir receives inputs from two main rivers, the Tasoh river and Pelarit
River combined basin area of 191 km2 and supply approximately 97 million m3
of water into the reservoir annually. The reservoir is shallow with a maximum
depth of 10m and submerged aquatic plants can be see along the shoreline and in
shallow areas.
 PROBLEM STATEMENT

• The rainfall-runoff model will vary based on the purpose the modelling is being
done to understand the seasonal low flow characteristics for an in-stream
environmental need, to assess over-bank flow frequency, and to estimate overall
catchment yield on an average annual basis.
• The hydrological model selected, to reflect these requirements.
 OBJECTIVES

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of IHACRES

in the Timah-Tasoh catchment in Northern Malaysia. The specific objectives
are as follows:
I. To calibrate the IHACRES model during the calibration period.
II. To evaluate the performance of IHACRES during the validation period.
 LITERAURE REVIEW

hydrologic Models
 Hydrological models are fundamentally utilized for hydrologic expectation and
for understanding hydrologic forms
These models are able to categories into three types, which are physical,
stochastic and matric-based models.

 METHODOLOGY

• In this study, IHACRES is used to simulate the inflow of Timah Tasoh catchments.
The data of rainfall and discharge are used to input of the model. During the
calibration in the parameters of the model are obtained.
• The performance of IHACRES is checked during validation process.
 IHACRES MODELS

The idea of IHACRES display is demonstrating identifiable

catchment-scale precipitation overflow conduct, which causes stream
and the model can be appeared in Figure 8, which incorporates
arrangement of two modules, which are a non-straight misfortune
module and direct unit hydrograph modules.
 SCOPE OF STUDY

• In this study, optional informations from Department of Irrigation and

Drainage (DID) of Perlis was utilized.
• The informations utilized the inflow rate of Timah Tasoh and precipitation.
• IHACRES is used to stimulate the inflow of the reservoir. The RSME and
NSE are used to check the performance of the model during the
calibration and validation periods.
