A Honghe Wetland Hydrologic Balance Model Based on STELLA

Water is the essential element of wetlands, and it can be said that wetlands cannot exist without water. Water in wetlands relates to atmospheric water, surface water, and groundwater. This study simulates hydrologic processes of the water using STELLA (Systems Thinking for Education and Research) with related hydrologic data and wetland hydrologic balance model. The results demonstrate that STELLA is an excellent tool for hydrologic modeling and it is necessary to make use of other auxiliary data to get better results.
