Introduction of the Texas Rainfall-Runoff (TxRR) model based on the Soil Conservation Service’s Curve Number Method to estimate direct runoff from precipitation events. The model includes parameters like Initial Abstraction, Soil Retention, Maximum Soil Moisture, and Base Flow for streamflow simulation. Monthly Depletion Factor is used for optimization and historical data processing with GIS tools for data preprocessing.

Introduction of TxRR model TxRR (Texas Rainfall-Runoff) Model: Based on the Soil Conservation Service’s Curve Number Method to estimate the direct runoff from a precipitation event.
TxRR Model Precipitation P InitialAbstraction Direct runoff QD Soil Retention S Maximum Soil Moisture SMMAX Stream Flow Base Flow QB Soil Moisture SM Percolation
Soil Moisture The depletion process of the soil moisture: SM2i=SM1i-1*exp(-amti) SM2i: soil moisture right before the I-th precipitation SM1i-1: soil moisture right after the I-1st precipitation am: monthly depletion factor for the m-th month ti: arrival time in days of the I-th precipitation
Soil Retention Si=SMMAX-SM2i Si: soil retention SMMAX: maximum soil moisture
Direct Runoff QDi=Pei2/(Pei+Si) Pei=Pi-Iai Iai=abst1*Si Qdi: direct runoff Pei: effective precipitation abst1: initial abstraction coefficient
New Soil Moisture Soil moisture is renewed by the infiltration caused by new precipitation. The renewal process is described by: SM1i=SM2i+Fi Fi=Pi-Iai-QDi SM1i: new soil moisture right after ith precipitation Fi: infiltration
Base Flow QB2=QB1*K t2-t1 K: recession constant QB2, QB1: base flow at time t2, t1 t2-t1: the elapse time
Daily Streamflow Simulation NDAYS=INT(Tb/24)+1 Tb=5Tp, Tp=12+Tl, Tl=b*A 0.6 NDAYS: base time in days Tb: base time Tp: time to peak Tl: lag time A: drainage area
Monthly Depletion Factor & Parameter Optimization • Important feature of TxRR model. • Monthly depletion factor used for monthly streamflow simulation. • Optimization based on the historical data.
GIS Data Preprocessing • Goal: to prepare time-series streamflow & precipitation data for defined watershed. • Sources data: historical data of USGS & NCDC stations. • Sample area: Nueces Estuary. • Tools: Arc/Info, CRWR-Vector, Arcview Geoprocessing & Spatial Analyst.

Experience and Future Work DSS is efficient in time-series data storage. Data format conversion is not a big overhead. Display tools still need to be exploited. Avenue is not efficient in file reads/writes. An algorithm for combining historical data need to be developed. Data missing.
