Abstract
Snowmeltrunoff modelling in a mountainous basin is perceived as difficult due to the complexity of simulation Theoretically the snowmelt process should be influenced by temperature changes It is still controversial as how to incorporate the temperature changes into the snowmeltrunoff model in a mountainous basin This paper presents the results of a study in the North Fork American River basin where the snowmeltrunoff mechanism is modelled by relating the temperature changes to the elevation band in the basin In this study a distributed hydrologic model is used to explore the orographic effects on the snowmeltrunoff using the snowfallsnowmelt routine in Soil and Water Assessment Tool SWAT Three parameters namely maximum snowmelt factor minimum snowmelt factor and snowpack temperature lag were analysed during the simulation The model was validated using streamflow data from October 1 1991 to September 30 1994 with and without considering the elevation band The result of this study suggests that the snowmeltrunoff model associated with the elevation band better represents the snowmeltrunoff mechanism in terms of Nash–Sutcliffe coefficient E NS R 2 and Root Mean Square Error RMSE
