The invention discloses a basin hydrological
simulation method and
system embedded with a
canopy interception mechanism, and the method comprises the steps: embedding a revised Gash
canopy interception model module in an
SWAT model, dividing a rainfall event into a
wetting stage, a saturation stage and a
drying stage according to the parameters of rainfall, a
leaf area index and a tree height, dynamically calculating the
canopy interception amount and the interception
evaporation amount, and carrying out the calculation of the canopy interception amount and the interception
evaporation amount. The effective rainfall capacity is used for replacing original rainfall input in the
SWAT model, the adjusting effect of the forest canopy on the rainfall process is reflected more truly, and the basin hydrological
simulation precision is improved. According to the method, the response and
simulation capability of the
SWAT model to the hydrological process of the underlying surface of the forest is effectively improved, the dynamic response to effective rainfall and
evaporation terms is enhanced, the method is suitable for
watershed hydrological
process modeling of various forest types, and the reliability of
flood forecasting and
water conservation evaluation is improved.
