Subject: Calibration of streamflow data

Hello,

I am currently working on a project for water resources management and my study area is a very dry area. However, while calibrating the streamflow data with observed streamflow gauge data I am getting an over simulation of streamflow by the model at daily and monthly timestep. Kindly assist

Jillian,

Please see the Catchment Calibration Chapter of the WEAP Tutorial. Pages 212-226, with a particularly helpful table on page 221, show the effects on the calibration of adjusting the various streamflow parameters.

If you are using the Soil Moisture Method for your catchments, I recommend to study your results for soil moisture (z1 and z2)- make sure that the soil moisture levels follow a believable trend and are not consistently at 0% or 100%.

Good luck and hope this helps!
