Distributed numerical model for estimating runoff and sediment discharge of ungaged rivers 1. The information system

Abstract

The need for a distributed numerical model for information transfer on runoff and sediment discharge from a gaged river section to any section of the river or its tributaries is discussed. The methodology of developing the information system, which forms the basic structure for the development of such a model, is briefly described. The advantages of the proposed information system are presented, and suggestions to further improve it are made.
