Abstract

Stream-flow in arid and semi-arid regions should to be dominated by responses to intense rainfall events. Such events have a high degree of spatial variability, coupled with poorly gauged rainfall data. These set a fundamental limit on the capacity of any rainfall-runoff model to reproduce the observed flow. The IHACRES model is a conceptual parametrically efficient rainfall-runoff model that has been applied to a large number of catchments covering a diverse range of climatologist. While originally designed for more temperate climates, the IHACRES model has been successfully applied to a number of ephemeral streams in various catchments.
