Abstract
Low flow prediction is an important element of watershed management. During low flow periods, baseflow can become a major component of the hydrological response of a catchment. The groundwater flow component in catchment-based hydrological models is often oversimplified. A sparse-parameter, low-dimensional, and computationally efficient model for layered groundwater flow is presented. The model consists of the hillslope-storage Boussinesq model (hsB) representing rapid shallow groundwater flow, and an analytic element-based model (AE) representing deep regional groundwater flow. The hsB and AE modules are linked via an iterative coupling procedure. The resulting model is tested on a set of synthetic hillslopes and a 30 km2 headwater catchment.
