Runoff is a difficult variable to map because the information from river gauging stations only indicates average runoff from the catchment area above the gauging point. A method of mapping runoff by grid-based extrapolation of two components of the water balance equation (evapotranspiration and precipitation) and application of a runoff model in each grid square, is suggested as a means of overcoming many of the problems related to runoff mapping.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
