Fully Coupled Surface–Subsurface Hydrological Modeling to Optimize Ancient Water Harvesting Techniques
Recent developments in soil hydrology allow the use of complex distributed mechanistic models to describe hydrological processes at the field and catchment scale. These advances make it now feasible to use complex models to evaluate and improve ancient and present‐day techniques. This chapter describes a method to evaluate rainwater partitioning and compute water balance components as affected by water harvesting techniques, using a fully coupled surface—subsurface process‐based hydrological model. The methodology is illustrated with cases from Latin America (Chile) and sub‐Saharan Africa (Ethiopia and Niger). The Chilean case demonstrates how the model was used to simulate runoff and soil–water content near and below infiltration trenches and how it was used to evaluate such existing practices at field scale. It also illustrates that the model shows good performance when applied on the much larger scale of approximately 3 ha watersheds. The chapter demonstrates how the HydroGeoSPhere code can be applied in a water harvesting context.
