Abstract

For the development ofthe Limburg Soil Erosion Model (LISEM), a validated hillslope hydrology module was needed. Therefore, hydraulic heads were monitored on four hillslopes in the southern part of The Netherlands during the years 1992 and 1993. The hydraulic heads were recorded automatically , using stand-alone measuring devices. Simultaneously, rainfall amounts and runoff were recorded as well. Observed changes in hydraulic head and runoff were simulated using the SWMS_2D computer program. Measured and simulated results are compared and correlated well.
