The vegetated surface is calculated by a realistic land surface model SiB2. The hydrological part estimates the surface runoff and calculates the interlayer exchanges and interaction between soil water and groundwater. It physically represents hydrological cycle with the support of nontraditional datasets. With the new generation model, the scope of hydrology will broaden from rainfall-runoff relationship to climatology, biosphere, ecosystem, remote sensing, and human society. The model can demonstrate the effects of natural and anthropogenic heterogeneity on hydrological cycle. The effects on hydrological responses of precipitation variability and the variability on irrigation redistributing runoff, was investigated. Runoff is underestimated if the rainfall is spatially uniformly put on large grid cell. Runoff simulation could be improved by taking into account the precipitation heterogeneity. However, the negative runoff contribution cannot be simulated by only considering the natural heterogeneity. This constructive model shortcoming can be eliminated by taking into account anthropogenic heterogeneity. The model is used to interpret the Yellow River drying up phenomenon in China. Scenarios are performed from 1960 to 2000 to quantify the effect of human activity, and to distinguish it from the effect from climate change. The results show climate change is dominated in the upper and middle reaches, and human activity is dominated in the lower reaches. The river discharge nearly half is affected by climate change and half by human activities. Climate pattern change rather than linear change contributes to the decrease of stream flow in the Yellow River. The DBH Model Strategy Manipulating Time Varying Data with the DBH Model System Until the early 1980s, hydrological models use lumped rainfall- runoff relationship to describe hydrological cycle on the land. Three generations of hydrological models have taken us from the early empirical model to where we stand now. The first, developed before the 1980s, was based on statistical relationship between rainfall and runoff, or integrated different components of the hydrological cycle in a lumped or fake- distributed way (Figure 1a). The surface parameters often were uniform over the watershed. In the 1980s, a second generation of models recognized the effects of spatial heterogeneity in the calculations of the overall hydrological behaviors (Figure 1b). At the same time, powerful computer occurred, making it possible to solve the differential equation on extremely large discretized grids. And regional, spatially varying data of land surface properties were assembled from geographical surveys. The latest new (the third) generation models used modern theories relating biosphere to provide a more realistic description of land surface hydrology (Figure 1c). The new generation models incorporate the advanced schemes to understand the response of hydrological cycle to the change of biosphere, human society and climate system. The advances of methods for translating satellite data into global surface parameter sets have driven the development of the third generation models.

Abstract

A new generation hydrological model, Distributed Biosphere-Hydrological (DBH) Model, is developed to connect hydrological cycle with biosphere, climate system and human society. The vegetated surface is calculated by a realistic land surface model SiB2. The hydrological part estimates the surface runoff and calculates the interlayer exchanges and interaction between soil water and groundwater. It physically represents hydrological cycle with the support of nontraditional datasets. With the new generation model, the scope of hydrology will broaden from rainfall-runoff relationship to climatology, biosphere, ecosystem, remote sensing, and human society.

The model can demonstrate the effects of natural and anthropogenic heterogeneity on hydrological cycle. The effects on hydrological responses of precipitation variability and the variability on irrigation redistributing runoff, was investigated. Runoff is underestimated if the rainfall is spatially uniformly put on large grid cell. Runoff simulation could be improved by taking into account the precipitation heterogeneity. However, the negative runoff contribution cannot be simulated by only considering the natural heterogeneity. This constructive model shortcoming can be eliminated by taking into account anthropogenic heterogeneity.

The model is used to interpret the Yellow River drying up phenomenon in China. Scenarios are performed from 1960 to 2000 to quantify the effect of human activity, and to distinguish it from the effect from climate change. The results show climate change is dominated in the upper and middle reaches, and human activity is dominated in the lower reaches. The river discharge nearly half is affected by climate change and half by human activities. Climate pattern change rather than linear change contributes to the decrease of stream flow in the Yellow River.

Evolution of Hydrological Modeling

DBH model has been developed for representing the role of both topography and land cover characteristics in hydrological cycle. The model is designed for use in a continental scale river basin and coupling with atmospheric models.

Multidisciplinary developments have prompted hydrological simulation. These advances include the new insights into mass/heat flux in the Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT) processes, progress in getting reliable land surface information from satellite remote sensing (RS), and developments of Geographic Information System (GIS) technique to extract topographic variables from digital elevation model (DEM). DBH is developed with the merging multidisciplinary advances. The main objectives include: extraction of hydrology related information from nontraditional datasets, development of a time-continuous distributed process-based land surface hydrological model accounting for the representations of the terrains, soil, vegetation, and hydrological response, model evaluation of the new generation model, and model application to evaluate the effects of human activity and natural climate variability on hydrology cycle.

A third generation model, Distributed Biosphere-Hydrological (DBH) model, is developed in this study (Tang, Q., et al., 2006a).

1) Climate change (75%) is dominated in upper/middle reaches, and human activity is dominated in lower reaches.

2) Climate pattern change (30%) rather than linear change (10%) is more important for the Yellow River drying up phenomenon.
