Based on model tests, Civica will propose the modelling approach for Don River watershed. At the proposal stage, Civica would propose two approaches. The first approach is to create two models with different channel lengths. For small storms, the full length will be used. And for large storms, the length of valley corridor will be used. As the calibration and validation storms are usually small storms. The large storm model can’t be calibrated. It also increase the difficulty to manage different
