Description: The objective of the thesis is to make a critical assessment of the performance of three relatively simple deterministic models of the rainfall-runoff process. The need to evaluate and compare deterministic models arises because of the large number of models which are available in the literature. A number of the available models would appear to be equally suitable for a given situation whereas many models are found to be valid only under the specific range of conditions for which they were developed. Therefore there is a need for guidelines to allow the most judicious selection of a model for a particular set of circumstances. The models used in the study will be tested in a semi-arid catchment to determine their applicability under ephemeral flow conditions
