  1. Modelling experiments with conceptual rainfall-runoff models under non-stationary conditions CSIRO Water for a healthy country flagship Jai Vaze, Francis Chiew, Nick Potter, David Post, Cuan Petheram, Julien Lerat, Jin Teng, Biao Wang 22 July 2013, Session Hw15S1, IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden A water information R & D alliance between the Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO’s Water for a Healthy Country Flagship

  2. Background • Number of recent studies investigating/highlighting hydro-climate nonstationarity Evaluation criteria • Level 1 • Calibrate the hydrological model using complete period • Calculate the efficiency criteria (NSE, bias, NSEiQ) for each of the 5 sub-periods • Level 2 • Calibrate the hydrological model using each of the 5 sub-periods • Calculate the efficiency criteria (NSE, bias, NSEiQ) for the complete period as well as each of the 5 sub-periods • Level 3 • Improvement of model behaviour/performance in non-stationary conditions Objective function: NSE-bias of daily streamflow

  3. Data and Models • Modelling experiments using data from seven catchment • Axe Creek (Aus) • Durance (France) • Ferson (USA) • Flinders (Aus) • Gilbert (Aus) • Kamp-zwettl (Austria) • Lissbro (Sweden) • Six conceptual daily rainfall-runoff models • Sacramento (14) • SIMHYD (7) • GR4J (4) • AWBM (6) • SMARG (8) • IHACRES (7)

  4. Changes in dominant hydrological processes(during long dry spells) [Petheram et al., MODSIM, 2011] Axe Creek catchment • Changing rainfall-runoff relationship. • Interception activities (like farm dams) intercepting proportionally more water during long dry spells. • Reduced surface water and groundwater connectivity during long dry spells. • Most rainfall filling the empty groundwater store post 1997.
