KINEROS - The kinematic runoff and erosion model
The kinematic runoff and erosion model KINEROS is an event oriented, physically based model describing the processes of interception, infiltration, surface runoff and erosion from small agricultural and urban watersheds. The watershed is represented by a cascade of planes and channels; the partial differential equations describing overland flow, channel flow, erosion and sediment transport are solved by finite difference techniques. The spatial variation of rainfall, infiltration, runoff, and erosion parameters can be accomodated. KINEROS may be used to determine the effects of various artificial features such as urban developments, small detention reservoirs, or lined channels on flood hydrographs and sediment yield. Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: KINEROS2. File Name: Web Page, url: https://www.tucson.ars.ag.gov/kineros/ Main web site, including links to documentation and downloads for the model.
