Abstract
The hydrological behaviour of a rural watershed may be significantly influenced by the presence of one or more drained areas. The objective of this contribution is to present different methods that permit to evaluate the hydrological response of a drainage network, and consequently its impact on the whole basin. The transfer process of the water from the soil surface to the outlet of the network of pipes includes two stages: First the transfer within the soil, resulting in flow hydrographs into the drains, and second their spreading into the network of pipes, resulting in the flow hydrograph at its outlet. Two simulation models, respectively designated SIDRA and SAT/NSAT, are presented with some illustrative examples.
