Development of a Coupled Hydrological and Buildup/Washoff Watershed Model
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2020: Water Resources Planning and Management and Irrigation and Drainage
ABSTRACT
Modifications in land use and occupation, caused mainly by anthropization in both urban and rural regions, alter processes in the hydrological cycle. Such changes to watershed often lead to conflicts regarding the multiple water uses, due to issues in water quantity or quality. Mathematical models are a useful tool in determining and foreseeing such conflicts, as well as analyzing potential solutions and compromises to them. Among those, process-oriented simulation models can predict different behaviours undertaken by water throughout distinct media, enabling a comprehensive view on the watershed. This article describes the development of a generic aggregated hydrological model in a programming environment, coupled with an empirical buildup/washoff model. These models were then implemented in a region of the Alto Paranapanema watershed, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The present study is part of a larger project, coordinated by the Federal University of Paraná, aiming to realize hydrodynamic modelling of reservoirs in the Paranapanema region. This article is part of one of the three development fronts, watershed modelling (the others being river and reservoir modelling). One of the final goals of the project is to implement the developed models into a Decision Support System, with integrated watershed-river-reservoir modelling.
