Abstract

The hydrometeorological data availability is the main issue for hydrological modeling, especially pronounced in ungauged basins. The research presented in the paper attempts at overcoming the data availability issue by applying three different hydrological models, and observing the most acceptable basin response from an ungauged basin. The calibration and validation of models is performed on flow duration curves from nearby gauged catchments, and the agreement of simulated and ′observed′ flows is compared visually and quantitively for characteristic flows. An annual distribution of monthly to mean flow ratio is also observed. The best performing model is HBV light, although the studied annual flow ratio and the ratio pattern cannot be achieved by any of the applied models in the periods of calibration and validation.
