Abstract
RODRIGUEZ LOPEZ, Yakelin and MARRERO DE LEON, Norberto. Hydrological simulation results in two sub-basins of Zaza basin. riha [online]. 2015, vol.36, n.2, pp.109-123. ISSN 1680-0338.
The study of the rainfall - runoff process is essential for flood forecasting and implementation of early warning systems. This study reports a method that can be used in hydrological modeling of runoff extreme maximums. The case study is the Zazariver basin, where the largest reservoir in Cuba is located. In the process of calibration-validation of parameters, it was possible to obtain a model that represents the rainfall-runoff process in the two gauged sub-basins in this area (Paso Ventura and Yayabo), causing errors in the estimation of the maximum flow rate less than 16%. The model was implemented using the hydrological simulation software HEC-HMS.
