Abstract

The integration of a two-dimensional, raster-based rainfall-runoff model, CASC2D, with a raster geographical information system (GIS), GRASS, offers enhanced capabilities for analysing the hydrological impact under a variety of land management scenarios. The spatially varied components of the watershed, such as slope, soil texture, surface roughness and land-use disturbance, were characterized in GRASS at a user-specified grid cell resolution for input into the CASC2D model. This GIS-hydrological model integration provides valuable spatial information to researchers and managers concerned with the study and effects of land-use on hydrological response.
