Development of a modular streamflow model to quantify runoff contributions from different land uses in tropical urban environments using Genetic Programming by Meshgi, A., Schmitter, Petra S., Chui, T.F.M., Babovic, V.

“…Subsequently, this study used the modular model to predict both flow components of events as well as time series, and applied optimization techniques to estimate the contributions of various land uses (i.e. impervious, steep grassland, grassland on mild slope, mixed grasses and trees and relatively natural vegetation) towards baseflow and quickflow in tropical urban systems. The sub-catchment containing the highest portion of impervious surfaces (40% of the area) contributed the least towards the baseflow (6.3%) while the sub-catchment covered with 87% of relatively natural vegetation contributed the most (34.9%). …”
