Hourly Runoff Analysis by the Self-Regulating Tank Model

The basin seems to have his own autonomous and non-linear work in controlling his water in runoff process which is performed not by the rainfall directly, but by the storage water change in the basin. Two methods were introduced to depict his work in the preceding papers. One is based on the Normal Basin Hydro-cycle Rate (NBHR). The other is using the self-parameter regulating 1 Tank Model (SRTM) which automatically finds the water exit height and discharge rate according to the storage amount in the tank. These are far easier methods to carry out as compared with Tank Model (TM), performed by numerous try and error works to find its structure and parameters. The analytical results of daily runoff analysis show the best adaptability of SRTM in most basins. This paper investigates the usefulness of SRTM in case of hourly runoff analysis.
