Incorporating Wetland Delineation and Impacts in Watershed-Scale Hydrologic Modeling
In semi-distributed hydrologic models, it is difficult to account for the impacts of wetlands on hydrologic processes, as they are based on lumped, subbasin-scale wetland concepts. It is a challenge to incorporate the influences of individual small wetlands into watershed-scale models by using lumped parameterization. The objective of this study was to improve watershed-scale hydrologic modeling by taking into account real wetland features during the wetland parameterization. To achieve this objective, a joint modeling framework was proposed to couple a surface delineation algorithm with a semi-distributed hydrologic model and then applied to the Upper Turtle River watershed in North Dakota, USA. The delineation algorithm identified the topographic properties of wetlands, which were further utilized for wetland parameterization. A nonlinear area–storage relationship was determined and used in the estimation of the wetland-related parameters. The results demonstrated that the new joint modeling approach effectively avoided misestimating the wetland-related parameters by accounting for real topographic characteristics (e.g., storage, ponding area, and contributing area) of identified wetlands and their influences, and provided improved modeling of the hydrologic processes in such a wetland-dominated watershed.
