Information - HS10.1 The ungauged catchment problem - a benchmark assessment
Event Information
Data are at the heart of all hydrological predictions, and where data are scarce or absent uncertainties may be large. Much progress has been made in recent years on improved methods for estimating hydrological quantities, in particular runoff, in catchments where no data are available. It is now time to assess, in a quantitative way, what is the state of the art in hydrological estimation methods, what exactly has been the progress in recent years and to identify what are the prediction challenges for the future. The aim of this session is to bring together contributions to this assessment. Specifically contributions are sought on
- Reviews of estimation methods for ungauged or poorly gauged catchments
- Quantitative comparisons of estimation methods
- Novel estimation methods and thoughts on future challenges
The focus of all contributions will be on data constraints. The estimation methods may relate to all components of the water cycle including extremes (floods, low flows), erosion and water quality related parameters as well as all types of model parameters such as runoff model parameters.
