Streamflow Models
For our small, highly variable intermittent streams, HAWQS models had moderate success at predicting flow patterns (Figure 5). Given the variability in annual precipitation between the modeled years and the field collected data, the HAWQS models predicted annual skew and high flow pulses reasonably well despite both variables being sensitive to precipitation patterns. However, the models underestimated the number of no-flow days and overpredicted the number of reversals.
