| Abstract | The study deals with the evaluation of water balance of Ping
river basin in Thailand. A physically based conceptual lumped
parameter model NAM is used to achieve this objective. The model
is calibrated by trial-and-error method to find the value of
parameters involved using the daily streamflow, evaporation and
rainfall data of period 1973 to 1975. Verification of predictive
capability of model is done by using the data of period 1976 to
1978. Both in calibration and verification periods the hydrograph
configuration, water balance and simulation of peak are found to
be satisfactory. Different hydrologic components of water balance
such as overland flow, interflow, actual evapotranspiration,
ground water recharge and streamflow are computed during
calibration and verification period. It is observed that there is
large variation in basin yield in different hydrological years.
Due to the fluctuation of surface water and groundwater storages,
the streamflow is not equal to the difference between the mean
areal rainfall and actual evapotranspiration. |
