Snowmelt contribution to seasonal runoff: Lessons learned from using a bucket-type model on a large set of catchments
Original language description
In fact, this is an abstract related to a presentation exhibited during the EGU2020 General Assembly. The importance of snow storage in runoff generation was studied in 59 mountain catchments located in Czechia. Using various hydrometeorological data describing water balance covering the period 1980-2014 and the HBV-light model, it was found that snow is more effective than liquid precipitation in the catchments. This fact was also reflected in spring and summer low flows as well as in summer baseflow, which shows that the catchments in so-called snow-poor years exhibit very low water levels. The situation is the worst when the combination of low precipitation with low snow storage occurs, which may increase the risk of severe summer hydrological droughts formation, especially when less snow storage and earlier snowmelt are expected in the future.
