Evaluation of landuse change effects on river flow using MIKE SHE model

Abstract

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of land use change on river flow in Mae Chaem River Basin using MIKE-SHE. Moreover, suitable model parameters that can be calibration and verification based on data. This study is intended to obtain a runoff time series using MIKE SHE models by input hydrometeorological data. Flow Duration Curves (FDCs) were used to compare the model simulation result. The results indicate that the effect of land use change on river flow.  Moreover, the result of study can be used for optimize land use management and disaster prevention in the future.
