An evaluation of regionalization and watershed classification schemes for continuous daily streamflow prediction in ungauged watersheds

Regionalization – the process of transferring hydrological information from gauged to ungauged watersheds – has the potential to perform significantly better if these watersheds are classified in advance. In this study, we demonstrate the benefits of classification by a systematic combination of watershed classification techniques, regionalization methods, and rainfall-runoff models. Basins are first classified, then regionalization methods are …
