Estimating How Variations in Precipitation and Snowmelt Affect Kunhar River Resources
Résumé
Over half of the nonpolar glacial watersheds are found in the Himala-7 yas and they are sources of water for billions of people. Understanding how var-8 iations in precipitation and snowmelt will affect their lives is thus of prime inter-9 est. As very scarce data are available, modeling should be adapted. The proposed 10 hydrological framework is based on the distributed conceptual model HBV set 11 up to account for snowmelt in the Greater Hymalayas. Spatialization is carried 12 out with respect to terrain constraints (hydrology, land cover, elevation). Applied 13 to the Kunhar's watershed, this reveals the key role of correlated temperature and 14 elevation variables. 15
