Abstract
The paper examines relative performance of six monthly rainfall-runoff models on 12 catchments located in different agro-climate zones of Central India. Study indicates that a water balance type model can reproduce the catchment behaviour in a better manner as compared to a statistical model and it is easier to model runoff for catchments with higher runoff factor. Also, a two-parameter model is found sufficient to represent the rainfall-runoff relationship of the catchment on a monthly scale.
