| Abstract | The main objective of this study is to prepare a viable scheme of Geological
Information System (GIS) database to provide the info1mation required for initial estimation
of the NAM model parameters for a realistic analysis of runoff from watershed. Traditional
hydrologic analysis uses maps and ground survey as tools to acquire the basic parameter of the
watershed. However, for large and/ or remote watersheds, the traditional analysis is both
costly and time - consuming. Thus, using GIS which contains computer database concept and
computer cartographic technology to establish the watershed geographic database is able to
provide both fast and accurate results on watershed hydrologic parameters. This will be much
helpful in basic hydrologic studies.
NAM model is used for daily flow forecasting in the Chiang Mai Subbasin of the Ping
River in Thailand. The catchment area is 31,16 sq. km. The results show the good agreement
between simulated and observed hydrological response. |
