A test of TOPMODEL'a ability to predict spatially distributed groundwater levels

Groundwater dynamics in a till hillslope: flow directions, gradients and delay

“…The delay observed in this hillslope was opposite to those observed at other sites (Seibert et al , 1997; Metcalfe and Buttle, 2001; Seibert et al , 2003; Inamdar and Mitchell, 2006; Frisbee et al , 2007) where the near‐stream wells, rather than the upslope wells, peaked first. The difference might be explained by the depression at the top of the studied hillslope section.…”

Predicting streamflow for land cover changes in the Upper Gilgel Abay River Basin, Ethiopia: A TOPMODEL based approach

“…The low number of parameters of the TOPMODEL minimizes optimization problems and this makes the final optimized values (more) physically meaningful (Sorooshian and Gupta, 1995). Previous studies have shown that the model has been successfully applied in predicting streamflow records (Ambroise et al, 1996;Molicová et al, 1997;Saulnier et al, 1997;Seibert et al, 1997;Ibbitt and Woods, 2004;Nourani et al, 2011). Deginet (2008) focused on the quantification of land surface parameters by remote sensing data in the Gilgel Abay catchment but the work did not include an analysis of how the model can be used to assess the hydrologic impacts of land cover changes and streamflow contributions from different land cover types.…”

Rock mass parameters based doline susceptibility mapping in gypsum terrain

“…Burt & Butcher (1986), Seibert et al (1997), Rodhe & Seibert (1999) and Zinko et al (2005) concluded that topography controls the spatial variation of hydrological conditions and affects the moisture distribution, and that groundwater flow frequently follows the topographical surface. As a result, the spatial distribution of moisture is defined by some topographical indices.…”
