Abstract
A semi-distributed watershed model was developed that conceptualizes the catchment as a cascade of nonlinear storage elements whose geometric dimensions are derived from the Horton–Strahler ordering of the stream network. Each storage element represents quick storm runoff over land or in a channel segment. The physically based groundwater submodel is parameterized through the application of the Brutsaert–Nieber recession flow analysis and it provides continuous baseflow separation. The model requires the calibration of seven parameters from a one year rainfall–runoff record. It was tested on the Mahantango Creek watershed in the Susquehanna River basin, Pennsylvania.
