3. 3 I.Brief softwares presentation Hec HMS: Lumped model Based on various model Free software Mike SHE: Distributed model Based on Saint Venant equation Paid software

4. 4 II. Hec HMS A.Model Kinematic waves SCS Unit Hydrograph Tc, Tlag CN SCS Curve Number 3 2

5. 5 B. Parameters Curve Number - % of imperviousness - Manning’s n Model calibration: Volume error < 5%- Peak error < 1,5% - Tpeak error = 30 min

6. 6 C. Results CN increases Peak discharge becomes higher Percentage of completely impervious area increases the discharge peak becomes higher A certain percentage of variation in the CN doubles the relative error in the output, while the same variation in the percentage of impervious area only deviates a quarter in the peak discharge.

7. 7 Manning roughness does not influence significantly the peak discharge. But, when decreasing the roughness, the peak discharge increases and appears earlier.

8. 8 III. Mike SHE A. Model Basic model setup used in the tutorial  75 x 75 m grid  Rainfall data from the flood event  04/11/1994 18:00 until 06/11/1994 00:00  Only Overland Flow and Rivers and Lakes Modules used Focus on parameters with physical meaning  Computational parameters unchanged  Ignored parameters considered negligible for the flood event or without enough data to investigate (in the modules Evapotranspiration, Unsaturated Flow, Saturated Flow)

10. 10 B. Parameters Net Rainfall Fraction:  Fraction of rainfall available for infiltration and overland flow  Reference model: constant value of 0.9 in the entire domain Manning (Strickler) value:  Reference values from landuse file given in the tutorial Detention Storage:  Used to limit the amount of water that can flow over the ground surface  Reference value 0 Initial Water Depth:  Typically 0m  If a non-zero initial condition is prescribed, water will flow into the model as long as the internal water level is lower than the set value (the boundary will act as a source of water)
