| Zusammenfassung |
| An electrical circuit analogue of a river catchment is
described from which is derived an hydrological model of river flow called the River
Electrical Water Analogue Research and Development (REWARD) model. The model is based upon
an analytic solution to the equation governing the flow of electricity in an
inductance-capacitance-resistance (LCR) circuit. An interpretation of L, C and R in terms
of catchment parameters and physical processes is proposed, and tested for the River
Irwell catchment in northwest England. Hydrograph characteristics evaluated using the
model are compared with observed hydrographs, confirming that the modelling approach does
provide a reliable framework within which to investigate the impact of variations in model
input data. |
