| Summary: | A physically-based distributed hydrologic model was applied in this research.
The river basin, or watershed, was discretized with a square grid, where each
square carried morphological data about a portion of the watershed, the
vegetation, the soil composition, the hydrogeological layer, and the like.
The effect of weather stations was defined by Thiessen polygons, including
correction for altitude. The hydrological model was continuous, with a
one-day time step. It was partitioned into three reservoirs: vegetation, snow
and soil. The snow reservoir was defined using the degree-day and temperature
index methods. The hydrologic model was applied to the basin of the Banjska
River, which is a tributary of the Južna Morava. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke
