    Abstract

    Hydrologic modeling is a commonly used tool to understand the rainfallerunoff processes of gauged and ungauged
    catchments for proper quantitative estimation of water resources availability. In the present study, an attempt is made to
    simulate surface runoff using physically based semi-distributed hydrological (HEC-HMS) model for four local-scale
    tributary catchments of Kaohsiung area Taiwan. The input physical parameters of the model were calculated and pre-
    processed in HEC-GeoHMS based digital elevation model (DEM), land use, soil and hydro-meteorological data. The
    model performance was satisfactory with Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) ¼ 0.51 to 0.86 and coefficient of determination
    (R2) ¼ 0.63 to 0.86 during calibration (2016e2017) and validation (2018) period, respectively based on the selected loss,
    transform and flow routing, Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCSeCN), Soil Conservation Service Unit
    Hydrograph (SCS-UH) and Muskingum methods,. The comparison of the observed and simulated hydrographs showed
    that the model is appropriate for hydrological simulations in Kaohsiung area. Therefore, the model was applied using
    calibrated parameters (CN and Ia) in ungauged Meinong creek catchment. The comparative results between maximum
    design flow and average simulated monsoonal flows verified that a physically based semi-distributed HEC-HMS model
    can synthesize hydrologic processes and phenomena for both wet and dry seasons. It is concluded that the developed
    methodology can be applied in ungauged catchments for water resources management and planning purposes under
    future climate scenarios that will help hydrologists to understand the efficiency and application of HEC-HMS model in
    rainfall-runoff modeling.
