- Abstract
Knowing the water resources in a river basin is a key aspect to appropriate water planning, and they can be estimated by lumped water balance models. The possibility to transfer the calibrated parameters of a contrasted model to non-gauged ones improves this knowledge with no need for direct measurements. This work studies the transferability of the parameters of the lumped models in five catchments in the southeast of Spain, testing the influence of the snow and the effect of serial autocorrelation in the goodness of fit. The results are also compared with those of the distributed model of reference in Spain (SIMPA). As principal results, the abcd model is the selected one, the snow effect is negligible, the transferability of parameters for this case is not totally possible, and serial autocorrelation must be included for this kind of modelling.
