“…Runoff, overland flow and base flow showed similar peaks during the entire period studied (Figure 3 (a)). These results agree with those of Thanapakpawin et al (2007) which indicate that excess overland flow saturation could be an important mechanism for runoff production when the simulation results is sensitive to soil lateral conductivity.…”

“…Therefore, the riparian forest has a dominant effect on evapotranspiration and all the analyzed water balance components are affected with an increase in evapotranspiration in the LW that showed mostly Atlantic Forest land cover in all scenarios. In agreement with Thanapakpawin et al (2007), the watershed hydrology is sensitive to land cover changes, with a general pattern of decreased runoff with migration from crops to trees due to increasing evapotranspiration.…”

“…Calibration and validation of the monthly average streamflow presented E values of 0.63 and 0.77, respectively (ALVARENGA et al, 2016a). These E values are within published ranges using the DHSVM, -2.22 to 0.79 (THANAPAKPAWIN et al, 2007) and -0.10 to 0.92 (CUO et al, 2009). Therefore, taking into account the classification proposed by Safeeq and Fares (2012), model performance is considered acceptable.…”

ABSTRACT:In recent years, concerns regarding the impacts of deforestation of riparian vegetation on water resources have created social and political tensions in Brazil. This research analyzed simulated hydrologic components of a 6.76 km 2 headwater watershed with different widths of riparian vegetation. Lavrinha Watershed (LW) hydrological responses were simulated using the Distributed Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model (DHSVM), which was forced using meteorological data from one station (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010). Land cover scenarios where the percent land cover of Atlantic Forest was increased from the control resulted in changes in hydrologic components in the watershed due to increased evapotranspiration and rainfall interception and reduced runoff and overland flow. The base flow/runoff relationship has increased, suggesting that riparian vegetation plays an important role in groundwater recharge. Modeling of hydrologic components linked to riparian buffer scenarios, such as the process used in this study, can be a useful tool for decision-making strategies regarding watershed management. IMPACTOS HIDROLÓGICOS DEVIDO ÀS ALTERAÇÕES NA LARGURARIPÁRIA EM UMA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DE CABECEIRA RESUMO: Nos últimos anos, as preocupações quanto aos impactos do desmatamento da vegetação ripária nos recursos hídricos criaram tensões sociais e políticas no Brasil. Esta pesquisa analisou os componentes hidrológicos simulados de uma bacia hidrográfica de cabeceira de 6,76 km 2 com diferentes larguras de vegetação ripária. As respostas hidrológicas da Bacia Hidrográfica Lavrinha (BHL) foram simuladas utilizando o Distributed Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model (DHSVM) que foi forçado usando dados meteorológicos de uma estação (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010). Os cenários de cobertura do solo em que o percentual da Mata Atlântica foi aumentado do controle resultaram em mudanças nas componentes hidrológicas na bacia hidrográfica devido ao incremento da evapotranspiração e intercepção da precipitação e redução do escoamento total e escoamento superficial. A relação escoamento base/escoamento total aumentou, sugerindo que a vegetação ripária desempenha um papel importante na recarga de água subterrânea. A modelagem dos componentes hidrológicos, associada aos cenários de larguras ripárias, como o processo utilizado para este estudo, pode ser uma ferramenta útil para as estratégias de tomada de decisão referente à gestão de bacias hidrográficas.

“…Klöcking and Hamberlandt (2002) stated that land use changes affect the hydrologic response of large watershed at the subbasin scale, and thus the interaction between the different subbasins plays a key role in the behaviour of the watershed. Even when the hydrologic response of small watersheds (< 10 km 2 ) has been extensively documented in previous studies (Bosch and Hewlett, 1982;Sahin and Hall, 1996;Stednick, 1996;Brown et al, 2005), and the response to land use changes of large scale basins have been documented for the Northern Hemisphere (Thanapakpawin et al, 2007;Hejazi and Moglen, 2008;Breuer and Huisman, 2009;van Roosmalen et al, 2009) a lack of studies on the response of mesoscale basins located in the Southern Hemisphere is detected (Costa et al, 2003;Croke et al, 2004).…”

Abstract. A multidisciplinary approach is followed for analysis of the effect of changes in land use patterns on the hydrologic response of the Vergara watershed (4340 km 2 ) located in central Chile. Probable future land use scenarios were generated using heuristic rules and logistic regression models, in order to identify and represent the main pressure on the watershed, namely forestation of extensive areas used for agriculture with rapid growing exotic species. The hydrologic response of the watershed was computed with a physically based distributed precipitation-runoff model, which was calibrated and validated for the current period. Results show that mean annual discharge increase with agricultural land use and diminish with introduced forest coverage. Thus, forestation of areas with introduced species like Pinus radiata and Eucalyptus globulus might be regulated in order to protect the water resources of the watershed.

Model‐based analysis of the influence of catchment properties on hydrologic partitioning across five mountain headwater subcatchments

Ungauged headwater basins are an abundant part of the river network, but dominant influences on headwater hydrologic response remain difficult to predict. To address this gap, we investigated the ability of a physically based watershed model (the Distributed Hydrology‐Soil‐Vegetation Model) to represent controls on metrics of hydrologic partitioning across five adjacent headwater subcatchments. The five study subcatchments, located in Tenderfoot Creek Experimental Forest in central Montana, have similar climate but variable topography and vegetation distribution. This facilitated a comparative hydrology approach to interpret how parameters that influence partitioning, detected via global sensitivity analysis, differ across catchments. Model parameters were constrained a priori using existing regional information and expert knowledge. Influential parameters were compared to perceptions of catchment functioning and its variability across subcatchments. Despite between‐catchment differences in topography and vegetation, hydrologic partitioning across all metrics and all subcatchments was sensitive to a similar subset of snow, vegetation, and soil parameters. Results also highlighted one subcatchment with low certainty in parameter sensitivity, indicating that the model poorly represented some complexities in this subcatchment likely because an important process is missing or poorly characterized in the mechanistic model. For use in other basins, this method can assess parameter sensitivities as a function of the specific ungauged system to which it is applied. Overall, this approach can be employed to identify dominant modeled controls on catchment response and their agreement with system understanding.
