A Physically Based Runoff Model Analysis of the Querétaro River Basin

Table 2

Land-use SHETRAN parameter values in the Querétaro river basin. AE/PE is the relationship for actual and potential evaporation. Values of canopy storage capacity, leaf area index, and maximum routing depth are based on Guevara-Escobar et al., 2000 [10], Mastachi-Loza et al., 2010 [11], and Guevara-Escobar et al., 2007 [12].

Type	Vegetation type	Canopy storage capacity; (mm)	Leaf area index	Max routing depth; (m)	Total area; (%)	AE/PE at field capacity^a
1	Deciduous forest	5.0	6	1.5	21.00	1.10
2	Grass	1.5	6	1	20.00	1.10
