Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 水利及海洋工程學系 === 85 === It has been known that hydrological processes (e.g., precipitation, infiltra-tion,... , etc.) over basin are heterogeneous. Traditionallumped rainfall-runo-ff models ignore the spatial heterogeneity ofhydrological processes. To simula-te hydrological heterogeneity over basin, distributed rainfall- runoff models w-ere used in this study, in which global optimization technique was applied for model calibration. The validation from three storm events concluded that the d- istributed model has the ability to simulate the historicalrainfall-runoff rel-ationship. However, the model may be applied tostorm events outside of the range of conditions for which the model has been successfully calibrated and verified. In order to examine the error of model output caused by parameters uncertain-ty, four methods, including, Monte Carlo Method (MCM), Latin Hypercube Sampling Technique, Rosenblueth*s Point Estimation Method and Harr*s Point Estimation Method, were used in the study and build 95% confidence interval of estimatedhydrograph. From the comparison of four methods, Latin Hypercube Sampling Techn-ique has similar analysis results as Monte Carlo Method has. The variances esti-mated from Rosenblueth*s Point Estimation Method and Harr*s Point Estimation M-ethod are larger than that from MCM. Thesensitivity of three model parameters, overland flow storage parameter (Ks), channel storage parameter (Kc) and initi-al infiltration rate correcting parameter (CH), were further examined by local and global methods. CH was found to be more sensitive than the other model para-meters. In order toreduce model errors caused by CH parameter, which is the mo-st sensitive parameter in the model, building the relationship between CH and physical properties over basin is studied. The CH parameter was found to have g-ood relation with 5-day average flow before the event. The model performance w-as concluded from three storms that using CH derived by 5-day average flow bef-ore storm to replace average values of CH parameter from 6 calibration storms c-an improve the results of hydrograph simulation.Kekeywords : distributed rainfall-runoff model, uncertainty, sensitivity analysis.
