This model is named after Robert E. Horton (1875–1945), the famous American hydrologist (he may be the only modern hydrologist to have a waterfall named after him) who worked as both hydrological scientist and consultant. I am not sure that he would have totally approved of such widespread use of the infiltration excess concept. 4 A classification of process mechanisms in the response of hillslopes to rainfalls: (a) infiltration excess overland flow (Horton, 1933); (b) partial area infiltration excess overland flow (Betson, 1964); (c) saturation excess overland flow (Cappus, 1960; Dunne and Black, 1970); (d) subsurface stormflow (Hursh; Hewlett); (e) perched saturation and throughflow (Weyman, 1970).
There are two major reasons for these difficulties in calibration. The first is that the scale of the measurement techniques available is generally much less than the scale at which parameter values are required. For example, there may be a hydraulic conductivity parameter in a particular model structure. Techniques for measuring hydraulic conductivities of the soil generally integrate over areas of less than 1 m2 . Even the most finely distributed models however, require values that effectively represent the response of an element with an area of 100 m2 or, in many cases, much larger.
Prepare a list of the models under consideration. ) appears to be worthwhile. 2. Prepare a list of the variables predicted by each model. Decide whether the model under consideration will produce the outputs needed to meet the aims of a particular project. If you are interested in the rise in the water table in valley bottoms due to deforestation, for example, a model predicting the lumped response of the catchment may not fulfill the needs of the project. If, however, you are only interested in predicting the discharge response of a catchment for real-time flood forecasting, then it may not be necessary to choose a distributed modelling strategy.
