It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0031] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for establishing a two-parameter monthly-scale hydrological model based on the water-heat complementary equation, including:

[0032] 1) Collect and preprocess the historical hydrological and meteorological data of the research basin to obtain the monthly potential evapotranspiration E p of the basin, the monthly precipitation P t and the observed monthly runoff Q obs,t ;

[0033] 2) Construct a two-parameter monthly-scale hydrological model based on the water-heat complementary equation:

[0034]

[0035] where E t is the monthly actual evaporation of the basin, S t-1 , S t are the water storages of the basin at the beginning and end of the period respectively, n and S p are the two parameters of the model, n is the parameter reflecting the underlying surface characteristics of the basin, and S p is the potential water storage of the basin;

[0036] 3) Use the bisection method to solve the above equations to obtain E t and S t , and calculate the simulated monthly runoff Q t according to the formula Q t-1 =S t +P t -E t -S sim,t ;

[0037] 4) Use the Nash efficiency coefficient NSE as the objective function for parameter calibration, and determine n and S p by maximizing the objective function;

[0038] where Q sim,i and Q obs,i are the simulated monthly runoff and the observed monthly runoff at time i, respectively, m is the number of simulated months, is the mean value of the observed monthly runoff.

[0039] Furthermore, in step 4), the SCE-UA optimization algorithm is used for parameter calibration.

[0040] Furthermore, in step 4), the value range of n is set to 0.1 - 3, and S P has a value range of 0 - 1000.

[0041] Furthermore, step 1) further includes: according to the monthly potential evapotranspiration E p , monthly precipitation P t and the observed monthly runoff Q obs,t of the time series length, divide the data into calibration period data and validation period data;

[0042] In step 4), the calibration period data is used for parameter calibration, and after step 4), it further includes: using the validation period data for model verification and conducting model accuracy evaluation.

[0043] Next, in combination with Figure 1 the method provided by the present invention will be further described.

[0044] As Figure 1 shown, the method for constructing a two-parameter monthly-scale hydrological model based on the water-heat complementary equation provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0045] S1: Collect and preprocess the historical hydrometeorological data of the study area to obtain the monthly potential evapotranspiration, monthly precipitation, and observed monthly runoff of the basin.

[0046] S2: Divide the calibration period and the validation period according to the time series length of the above hydrometeorological data.

[0047] S3: Construct a two-parameter monthly-scale hydrological model based on the water-heat complementary equation, and the model structure is as follows:

[0048]

[0049] In the formula, E t is the monthly actual evaporation of the basin, E p is the monthly potential evaporation, P t is the monthly precipitation, S t-1 , S t are the water storage volumes of the basin at the beginning and end of the time period, respectively. n and S p are the two unknown parameters of the model, where n is the parameter reflecting the underlying surface characteristics of the basin, and Sp is the potential water storage capacity of the basin.

[0050] The two equations of the model are derived from the water-heat coupling balance equation of the basin and have a strong theoretical basis.

[0051] The above equations are solved by the bisection method to obtain E t and S t , and the initial value of S t-1 is set artificially according to the characteristics of the basin.

[0052] According to the water balance equation, the simulated monthly runoff Q t at time t is obtained as follows:

[0053] Q t = S t-1 + P t - E t - S t

[0054] S4: Calibrate the model parameters using the hydrometeorological data during the calibration period of the basin. Taking the Nash efficiency coefficient NSE as the objective function and adopting the SCE-UA optimization algorithm, maximize the objective function to perform parameter calibration. Among them,

[0055]

[0056] In the formula, Q sim,i and Q obs,i are the simulated flow and the observed flow at time i, respectively. m is the number of simulated months, is the mean of the observed flow.

[0057] Thus, the parameters n and S p can be determined.

[0058] It can be understood that the values of the parameters n and S p vary according to different research areas.

[0059] S5: Use the hydrometeorological data during the verification period of the basin to conduct model testing and perform model accuracy evaluation.

[0060] Furthermore, the main inputs of the model are the monthly precipitation P t and the monthly potential evapotranspiration E p , and the output is the monthly runoff.

[0061] Furthermore, the model parameters include the parameter n reflecting the characteristics of the basin's underlying surface and the parameter S p reflecting the potential water storage capacity of the basin. During the parameter calibration process, the value range needs to be set first, and the value range of the model parameters is shown in Table 1.

At the same time, in order to highlight the advantages of the present invention, a model established by the method provided by the present invention will be compared and analyzed with the widely used four-parameter abcd model.

[0066] For the Tiesuoguan Basin of the Hanjiang River, a two-parameter monthly-scale hydrological model based on the water-heat complementarity equation is constructed. The construction method includes the following steps:

[0067] S1: Data collection: Collect the hydrometeorological data of the basin from 1966 to 1989, including monthly precipitation data, monthly evaporation pan observations, and monthly runoff data (observed monthly runoff), and use the monthly evaporation pan observations as monthly potential evapotranspiration data.

[0068] S2: Data segmentation: Divide the calibration period and the verification period according to a ratio of 7:3. In this example, the period from 1966 to 1983 is used as the model calibration period, and the period from 1984 to 1989 is used as the model verification period.

[0069] S3: Model construction: Construct a two-parameter monthly-scale hydrological model based on the water-heat complementarity equation.

[0070] S4: Parameter calibration: Use the hydrometeorological data of the basin calibration period to calibrate the model parameters. Take the Nash efficiency coefficient NSE as the objective function and use the SCE-UA optimization algorithm for parameter calibration. The model calibration results are shown in Table 2:

[0071] Table 2 Model parameter calibration results

[0072] parameter parameter value n 2.55 <![CDATA[S p > 73.59

[0073] S5: Model test and accuracy evaluation: Use the verification period data to test the model, calculate using the calibrated model parameters, compare the simulated and measured flow hydrographs, and conduct accuracy evaluation. The simulation result diagram is shown in Figure 1 . The comparison results (NSE values) with the abcd model are shown in Table 3:

[0075] model calibration period validation period the model of the present invention 0.96 0.94 abcd model 0.94 0.93
