Description:Tests were conducted on a basin with a less-thanoptimum rain gage network to evaluate the possibility of improving streamflow simulation through the use of zonal precipitation input and zonally varied parameters. Preliminary results for the 959-mi², 4-zone watershed indicate that improved hydrograph reconstitution is obtained for rises caused by convective rains where the model parameters are adjusted to reflect hydrologic differences between upstream and downstream zones. The multizone approach used is model independent and should be valid for any conceptual hydrologic model employing a unit hydrograph to define the temporal distribution of runoff volumes.
