| Watershed Description: | 132000 km^2 Upper Danube Basin (Europe), which drains portions of Austria, Germany, Czech Republic
and Slovakia, extending from the Danube source down to the Gabcikovo Reservoir near Bratislava. |
| Calibration Summary: | The streamflow components of the headwater subbasins were calibrated separately using SUFI-2 (Abbaspour, 2008) method in four sequential steps that focused on different hydrological processes. The calibration was performed in selected subbasins (donor). Once the donors were selected, a regionalization technique coupled with a classification procedure based on a similarity approach was applied. The similarity approach is based on the assumption that similar catchments behave hydrologically similarly. |
| Validation Summary: | |
| General Comments: | In this study three methods for estimating hillslope length at basin scale were investigated. |
