17. Modified USLE cover factor, dimensionless decimal factor (F5.3, 1X)<br />

18. Leaf Area Index, dimensionless (F5.1, 1X)<br />

19. Incoming radiation flux density in MJ.m -2 .day -1 (F5.2, 1X)<br />

20. Relative humidity in % (F5.2, 1X)<br />

21. Sunshine duration in hours and fractions (F5.2, 1X)<br />

22. Windrun in km.day -1 (F5.2, 1X).<br />

The soils and landuse parameters discussed above were then incorporated, by<br />

using the menu builder facility, into the model and weighting undertaken where<br />

appropriate. Others like water abstraction were then incorporated. For the<br />

lumped mode, the outlet of the catchment is taken at Manhia which is the end of<br />

sub-catchment 3. For the Semi-distributed modelling the demarcations are as<br />

shown in the Figure 4.15 above and the input data respectively compiled for<br />

each of the sub-catchments (in this case 4 in all).<br />

Having satisfied the input requirements, the model was successfully test run in<br />

the lumped mode.<br />
