Abstract
In this paper, the NAM model was applied in the Strymonas River catchment to simulate the daily discharge that ends up into the Lake Kerkini. In the NAM model, the catchment is represented by four reservoirs, each one representing different physical elements of the catchment. The model uses precipitation, potential evapotranspiration and temperature as driving forces in the simulation of snow accumulation and melting, interception, actual evapotranspiration, overland flow, interflow, groundwater recharge and baseflow. Optimal calibration of the model parameters was obtained for three different model setups by using meteorological and discharge data. The model was also validated against discharge data. The NAM model was used to estimate the continuous Strymonas River mean daily discharge and the results show that the estimation accuracy is depended by the model setup.
