Lessons from Macroscale Hydrologic Modeling: Experience with the Hydrologic Model SLURP in the Mackenzie Basin

Macroscale models are used increasingly in hydrology to simulate regional responses to external forcing, to evaluate large basin management strategies, and to extend hydrologic data sets. The hydrologic model SLURP (Semidistributed Land Use-based Runoff Processes) is a semi-distributed model that has been successfully applied to basins of various sizes, notably those in cold regions. The SLURP manual provides explanations of computational …
