Abstract

A computer program is described that generates synthetic rainfall data and catchment response data. These synthetic data are variable with respect to several parameters, and can be used for the evaluation of rainfall-runoff response sensitivity. Introduction The ability to perform thorough analysis of the reaction of a watershed to rainfall events is difficult due to the inability to have any real control over the system. The storms have many parameters that are of interest, but few that can be measured with any great degree of accuracy. Likewise, the watershed has a number of factors that affect its reaction to the storm. Some of these are stable for a watershed but difficult to generalize, and others vary from day to day or are changed by the storm itself. Pr
