Variability of water regime in forested experimental basis

Climatic conditions represent a significant factor for water regime of a watershed. They form conditions both for the vegetation cover development in the annual cycle and also its changes in the span of decades of years. Land-use changes can be a reason of variability and/or tendencies in the evapotranspiration process affecting water balance in both short-term and long-term temporal scales. The present contribution deals with simulations of the rainfall-runoff process with the help of SAC-SMA (Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting) a BROOK´90 models. The time course of differences between observed and simulated runoff represents a possible tool for the evaluation of tendency and/or variability of water regime of a basin. The used approach makes possible to assess a result of long-term development of the vegetation cover in a catchment and consequent evapotranspiration changes
