In order to evaluate prediction models of runoff and sediment yield in a Mediterranean environment, thedistributed parameter, physically based, continuous simulation, daily time step AnnAGNPS model was applied to anexperimental watershed of mainly pasture in Sicily.

Abstract
In order to evaluate prediction models of runoff and sediment yield in a Mediterranean environment, thedistributed parameter, physically based, continuous simulation, daily time step AnnAGNPS model was applied to anexperimental watershed of mainly pasture in Sicily. Results from AnnAGNPS simulations were evaluated using 7‐year datamonitored at this watershed. The model showed satisfactory capability in simulating surface runoff at event, monthly, andannual scales after calibration. Peak flow predictions were generally good for low flow events and poorer for higher flowrates. A high model efficiency was achieved for the 24 suspended sediment yield events recorded during the entire period ofobservation after reducing the roughness coefficients for both rangeland and cropland areas. The overall results confirmedthe applicability of the AnnAGNPS model to the experimental conditions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
