AbstractA comparative study between three hydrological deterministic mode l s namely the SSARR, Sacramento and SWM- IV (Stanford) models were chosen and tested for two different river basins in Northeastern Thailand. The daily records of the hydrometeorological data in the water years 1978 , 1979 and 1980 were used in calibration of the models. The r,10dels were verified using the data in 1981. Good results were obtained in both calibration and verification. Statistical analysis were made on the results obtained to confirm the goodness of fit of the results to the observed data. The intercomparison of models was based upon the visual comparison as well as the st~tisticall comparison and it was partially dependent by using the output of the SSARR model in deriving some related parameters in the other models. The result shows that in general, the SSARR and SWM- IV models give nearly the same results and they perform better than the Sacramento model. For flood year , the SSARR model simulates the volume and shape of the hydrographs better than the SWM- IV and Sacramento models.
