Abstract
A practical use of surface runoff modelling in urban and natural areas involves several process variables, which highly influence final model results. The selection and good interpretation of rainfall events as well as the evaluation of impervious and pervious areas, and a lag time assessment, belong to the most crucial tasks in deterministic hydrological modelling mainly, if a long-term system behaviour is to be analysed. Unfortunately, the evaluation of these parameters is in most cases not an easy task, because of their spatial and temporal changes [1]. A system “hydrological memory” plays an important role in this process and should be considered in particular catchment modelling, if accurate long-term hydrological behaviour is to be simulated.
