Abstract
This is the third of a series of three papers describing the methodology of development of a distributed model for estimating runoff and sediment discharge of ungaged rivers. This paper compared, in detail, the results obtained in estimating flows and sediment discharged by means of the model at two stations with estimates of the same hydrologyc characteristics obtained by means of other simpler techniques. The results of the comparison indicated improvement over the simpler techniques, the indication being that the application of the model is justified where a higher accuracy of flow and sediment data is required or where lack of basic measurement data makes it impossible to apply the simpler techniques. In cases when changes in land use-land cover are contemplated and it is necessary to estimate the resulting modified hydrology, it seems advisable to apply the distributed model described in this series of papers.
