| Zusammenfassung |
| Hydrologic models of watersheds often represent complex systems which are
difficult to understand regarding to their structure and dynamics. Virtual
watersheds, i.e. watersheds which exist only in the virtual reality of a
computer system, are an approach to simplify access to this real-world
complexity. In this study we present the virtual watershed KIELSHED-1, a
117 km2 v-shaped valley with grassland on a "Cambisol" soil type. Two
weather scenarios are delivered with the watershed: a simplified artificial
weather scenario based on long-term data of a German weather station as well
as an unmodified data record. The input data and parameters are compiled
according to the conventions of the SWAT 2000 hydrological model. KIELSHED-1
is mainly used for education, and illustrative application examples, i.e.
calculation of water balance, model calibration, development of land use
scenarios, give an insight to the capabilities of the virtual watershed. |
