| Abstract | The representation of Hydrologic system as a linear system is
only an approximation . The natural system involved in hydrologic cycle are generally nonlinear. Few catchment models based on nonlinear
analyses are applied to the field data. Nonlinear hydrologic system is approximated by second order system in these methods. Runoff characteristics of Phrea basin in North Thailand is analyzed. Distinction
between rainy and dry season is very prominent in this region. Estimation of runoff by expansion , of kernels in terms of orthogonal polynomials agree satisfactorily. In o delay filter method timing of major flood events are estimated satisfactorily. In general prediction results using effective rainfall improved the prediction of runoff in all these methods. |
