Continuous Hydrologic Simulation of Runoff for the 

Middle Fork and South Fork of Beargrass Creek Basin 

in Jefferson County, Kentucky 

By G. Lynn Jarrett, Aimee C. Downs, and Patricia A. Grace-Jarrett 

Abstract 

The Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) was applied to an 

urban drainage basin in Jefferson County, Ky. to 

integrate the large amounts of information being 

collected on water quantity and quality into an 

analytical framework that could be used as a management and planning tool . Hydrologic response 

units were developed using geographic data and a 

K-means analysis to characterize important hydrologic and physical factors in the basin. The Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN Expert 

System (HSPEXP) wasused to calibrate the model 

parameters for the Middle Fork Beargrass Creek 

Basin for 3 years (June 1, 1991, to May 31, 1994) 

of 5-minute streamflow and precipitation time 

series, and 3 years of hourly pan-evaporation time 

series . The calibrated model parameters were 

applied to the South Fork Beargrass Creek Basin 

for confirmation . The model confirmation results 

indicated that the model simulated the system 

within acceptable tolerances. The coefficient of 

determination and coefficient of model-fit efficiency between simulated and observed daily 

flows were 0.91 and 0.82, respectively, for model 

calibration and 0.88 and 0.77, respectively, for 

model confirmation . The model is most sensitive 

to estimates of the area of effective impervious 

land in the basin; the spatial distribution of rainfall ; and the lower-zone evapotranspiration, lowerzone nominal storage, and infiltration-capacity 

parameters during recession and low-flow periods. 

The error contribution from these sources varies 

with season and antecedent conditions . 

INTRODUCTION 

Urban streams have often been a neglected ecological and cultural resource in an otherwise densely 

populated landscape. The quality of urban-stream sys 

tems is an integral part of the activities in the surrounding watershed and airshed. Changes in water quantity, 

quality, and fluvial geomorphology are influenced by 

the original nature of the watershed and the type and 

intensity of basin activities . Consequently, management of a stream system such that economic, aesthetic, 

and ecologic goals are achieved requires that the potential for changes to a stream be considered when 

changes in land-use activities are being planned 

(Delleur and others, 1976). 

The Louisville and Jefferson County Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) is responsible for managing 

the streams and drainage basins in and around Louis 

ville, Ky. The MSD has a long history of collecting 

water-quantity data associated with flood studies and 

urban development. In 1988, the MSD, in cooperation 

with the U.S . Geological Survey (USGS), began systematically collecting water-quality data from Jefferson County streams. Systematic evaluation of this 

expanding data base has been hampered, however, by 

the lack of a formal conceptual framework and appropriate computer model. 

In 1994, the MSD decided to evaluate the utility 

of using a comprehensive river-basin model to interpret 

the data and provide guidance on future data-collection 

efforts. The model also is expected to provide a means 

Introduction 1 
of evaluating the water-quality and -quantity consequences of alternative management decisions . The primary objective of the study reported here was to develop 

a more refined and accurate representation of basin 

hydrology and water quality by efficiently integrating 

the large amounts of available information into a model. 

The second objective required thatthe model adequately 

represent the important hydrologic processes. 

This report describes the effectiveness of the 

Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN 

(HSPF) model in simulating a 3-year hydrologic record 

for the period June 1, 1991, to May 31, 1994, in the 

South Fork and Middle Fork Subbasins of Beargrass 

Creek in Jefferson County, Ky. Although simulations 

were made for a model of the Muddy Fork Subbasin, 

those results are not reported here because of a lack of 

observed record for both the calibration and confirmation periods . 

Background 

The HSPF version 10.0 (Bicknell and others, 

1993) was selected as the most appropriate basin 

model. The HSPF is capable of continuous simulation 

of river-basin hydrology and water quality for conventional and toxic organic pollutants. The model is classified as a physically based conceptual model (Wurbs, 

1995) that is capable of simulating important hydrologic and water-quality processes. The HSPF model 

has extensive input data requirements. It is, however, 

within the model's capacity to manipulate large 

amounts of hydrologic data. 

The HSPF is a collection of FORTRAN sourcecoded modules that represent water-quantity and 

-quality processes dependent on a time-series manage 

ment system. Model parameters are used to adapt the 

source codes to a wide range of river-basin conditions. 

The output parameters in the model correlate to physically based properties or process-oriented conditions 

(Donigian and others, 1984) . 

Previous Work 

The HSPF model has been widely applied to 

evaluate agricultural runoff (Moore and others, 1988; 

Chew and others, 1991; Laroche and others, 1996) and 

for planning purposes in urban and suburban environments (Ng and Marsalek, 1989; Dinicola, 1989; 

Duncker and others, 1995). The model also has been 

used to characterize the effects of changing land uses 

on channel expansion and channel incision (Booth, 

1990). Fontaine (1995) reported that the HSPF model 

was more accurate than the traditional event-based 

model (HEC-1) in predicting extreme floods in the 

upper Midwest. The hydrologic component of the 

HSPF is based on the Stanford Watershed Model 

(SWM) (Crawford and Linsley,1966) . One ofthe early 

applications of this model (Crawford and Linsley, 

1966) was in the Beargrass Creek Basin in Louisville, 

Ky. Crawford and Linsley's simulations were for the 

period from 1950 to 1953, prior to extensive urban 

development in the basin. 

Description of Study Area 

The Beargrass Creek Basin borders the Ohio River 

in Jefferson County in north-central Kentucky (fig . 1). 

The county is the most densely populated area of the 

State. Streams in the Beargrass Creek Basin drain 

61 .0 mil of eastern Jefferson County, Ky. The drainage 

comprises three tributary subbasins: the South Fork, the 

Middle Fork, and the Muddy Fork. Subbasin sizes for the 

South Fork, Middle Fork, and Muddy Fork are 27.0 mil, 

25.1 mil, and 8.9 mil, respectively (fig . 2). The HSPF 

model was developed to simulate the entire Middle Fork 

Basin and 22.04 mil (81 .6 percent) of the South Fork 

Basin to downstream point indicated as number 1 

(approximately Logan Street) as shown in figure 2. The 

HSPF user-control input (UCI) files (included in the 

appendixes to this report) describe the model for the full 

part of the simulated basin; however, subareas and 

reaches downstream from the streamflow gages were 

deactivated in the model code, and use ofthese UCI files 

would yield discharge and average depth at the streamflow-gage locations . Instructions are given in the UCI 

file for simulation of the full basins. The drainage areas 

up to the streamflow gages are 18.9 and 17.2 mil for the 

Middle Fork and South Fork, respectively. 

Jefferson County has a moist-continental climate 

with moderately cold winters and hot, humid summers. 

Average annual precipitation is approximately 43 in., 

mostly as rainfall . Average annual snowfall is slightly 

less than 17 in. and may occur between November and 

April. Historical rainfall records indicate that March is 

the wettest month of the year, and October is the driest. 

Frontal systems moving from the southwest provide 

the precipitation during most of the year, but, in

late summer, convective storms may produce locally 

heavy rainfall . Evaluation of a local 45-year-long 

hourly rainfall record indicated that approximately 70 

storms occur each year. These storms are defined as 0.1 

in. of precipitation with at least 0.01 in. occurring 

within each hour of the storm's duration. 

The headwaters of Beargrass Creek drain Silurian 

age dolomite, shale, and minor amounts of limestone. 

The creek cuts into Devonian age limestone and shale 

before flowing into the Ohio River. A more detailed 

description of the basins can be found in Evaldi and 

Moore (1992). Land use in the basins varies from singlefamily residential to light industrial. The dominant land 

use in all three subbasins is single-family residential, 

followed by paved (impervious) surfaces (roads and 

parking lots), parks, and cemeteries (table 1). The landuse percentages given in table 1 are for the entire basin, 

which is different from the simulated basin for the South 

Fork and subbasins used for calibration and confirmation for the Middle Fork and South Fork, respectively. 

Most of the basin is sewered with separate sanitary and 

storm sewers. Combined sewers are present in the lower 

part of each basin. The combined systems periodically 

overflow to surface waters. Part of the flow in the Middle Fork is diverted to Goose Creek (fig. 1) during highflow conditions south of Anchorage, Ky., near Whipps 

Mill Road, east of Hurstbourne Lane.

STUDY METHODS 

Two long-term stream-discharge-measuring 

sites are located in the Middle Fork and South Fork 

Basins of Beargrass Creek (fig . 2) . Continuous dis 

charge data collected and computed at these sites were 

used to calibrate and confirm the HSPF model. In addition, precipitation and pan-evaporation data were compiled. A wide variety of Geographic Information 

System (GIS) data layers were developed and analyzed 

to delineate the Hydrologic Response Units (HRU's), 

which were critical to the basic analysis of the hydrologic system. 

Collection of Meteorological Data 

Meteorological data were compiled from the 

USGS/MSD precipitation network and the National 

Weather Service (NWS). The seven rain gages in the 

basin that were used to simulate runofffrom the Middle 

Fork and South Fork are described in table 2. Five 

other rain gages operated by the USGS, in cooperation 

with the MSD, are outside the basin but within 5 mi of 

the center of the basin. The locations of the seven rain 

gages also are shown in figure 3 . Precipitation data 

were available at 5-minute intervals for the calibration 

period of midnight June 1, 1991, to midnight May 31, 

1994. Daily pan-evaporation data were obtained from 

the NWS for a station located at Nolin River Lake, Ky., 

approximately 75 mi south of Louisville, Ky. Missing 

data were filled in with data collected at Patoka Lake, 

Ind., approximately 80 mi northwest of Louisville. 

Development of Geographic 

Information System (GIS) Data Base 

The hydrologic properties of the contributing 

areas were quantified using ARC/INFO GRID (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc ., 1992), a 

raster-based tool for correlating and overlaying multiple GIS data bases. Data layers, obtained from the Louisville and Jefferson County Information Consortium 

(LOJIC), included land use, hydrography (streams, 

lakes, and holding ponds), soils (Zimmerman and others, 1966), pavement (roads, sidewalks, and recreational areas), tree cover, catchment basins, buildings, 

and elevation data. The data were digitized at a resolution of 1 :100 from low-altitude aerial photography.

The foundation layer for the analysis was a digital elevation model (DEM) that was generated from the 

elevation data using the grid-based elevation model, 

TOPOGRID (Hutchinson and Dowling, 1991). TOPOGRID is unique in that it creates a hydrologically correct elevation surface that takes into consideration 

known locations of hydrologic features rather than 

interpolating their location from the contour coverage 

alone. All data layers, except for catchment basins, 

swimming pools, parking lots, and tree cover, were 

converted from vector to raster data. The cell sizes for 

all the raster data layers were 65 .6 by 65 .6 ft, an area of 

4,305 ft'. 

Raster coverages defining the characteristics of 

the (1) stream reach, (2) rain gage Thiessen polygon, 

(3) riparian zone, (4) land use, and (5) land slope were 

aggregated into one coverage (hereafter referred to as 

the composite-coverage) that represented the unique 

combinations of these five characteristics. The composite-coverage yielded 390 unique polygons for the Middle Fork and 318 unique polygons for the South Fork. 

Some polygons contained identical values known as 

zones . In GRID calculations, zones do not need to be 

contiguous . ARC/INFO's statistical capabilities were 

used to compute area per stream reach; area of each of 

the composite-coverage zones ; and percent of hydrology, soils, pavement, and buildings for each of the comBasin in which

stormwater catchment basins and swimming pools, or 

arcs, such as tree cover and parking lots . Because these 

point features have no area, frequency was used to estimate density per composite-coverage zone. Arc length 

was used for arc features to estimate area per composite-cover zone. 

Delineation of Hydrologic Response 

Units (HRU's) 

Many factors affect how precipitation is converted into streamflow within a drainage basin. The 

spatial variability of these factors can be incorporated 

into the HSPF by subdividing the drainage basin into 

small subunits, which may then be characterized by a 

system of Hydrologic Response Units (HRU's). Each 

of the HRU's are simulated with unique parameter configurations . Initially, four HRU's-three pervious and 

one impervious-were developed from the GIS data 

bases for the Middle Fork Basin. These units were 

hypothesized to convert precipitation to streamflow in 

different ways and at different rates. Dinicola (1989) 

attributed physical significance to the parameter sets 

developed in a regional calibration of the HSPF in the 

northwestern part of the State of Washington. After 

developing hypotheses regarding the distinct hydroposite-coverage zones . Other source data were logic responses occurring in the modeled watersheds, 

represented as points instead of polygons, such as parameter sets were developed to test those hypotheses.

Study Methods 7 
Similar to Dinicola's (1989) method, the HRU's for 

this study were developed around physically based 

concepts; however, the parameter sets were developed 

from empirical and spatial data. 

A K-means cluster analysis was used to aggregate four basic groups of data based on the hydrologically relevant information associated with each of the 

polygons. The K-means technique is a nonhierarchical 

grouping procedure that is used to associate multidimensional data. Details on and examples of the Kmeans technique are given in Hartigan (1975) ; Wilkinson and Hill (1994); Hair and others (1987); and Haag 

and others (1995). The classification variables used to 

group the pervious land components of the polygons 

were as follows: (1) Xinftlt = soil permeability (inches 

per hour), (2) XIz, = soil-storage capacity (inches of 

water per inch of soil times the depth in inches to the 

seasonally high water table), and (3) Xtree = area of 

tree canopy (square feet). The correlation of these variables produced three distinct clusters for pervious areas 

that form the basis of the HRU's. The clusters (HRU's) 

are a lawn cluster, a wooded cluster, and a riparian cluster. The riparian cluster (HRU) was primarily characterized by its close proximity to streams. A fourth 

cluster was identified as impervious but is not shown in 

figure 4. The impervious cluster (and IMPLND's in 

HSPF) are characterized as completely impervious surfaces such as roads and parking lots. Each of the classification variables contributed significantly at the 

5-percent level to differentiating the clusters as determined by an analysis of variance applying the F-test . 

Notched box plots illustrate the separation of the pervious clusters as a function of the classification variables 

(fig . 4) . 

The three pervious clusters of polygons became 

the basis for each of the three pervious (PERLND) 

HRU's used as input to the Middle Fork model. The 

three pervious units were further subdivided into one of 

three slope classes : (1) 0 to 5 percent, (2) greater than 5 

percent to 12 percent, and (3) greater than 12 percent. 

Impervious (IMPLND) areas were clustered in 

an attempt to define another group of HRU's, but this 

attempt was not successful. Information on slope, the 

density ofcatch basins leading to storm sewers, and the 

type of imperviousness did not produce unique clusters; subsequently, only one IMPLND surface unit was 

identified with input parameters developed for each of 

the three previously mentioned slope classes . 

The HRU's in the South Fork Basin were generated on the basis of a linear discriminant-function equation developed for the Middle Fork Basin. Surrogate 

information on soil permeability, soil storage capacity, 

and area of tree canopy were used to identify the 

HRU's. As previously stated, 318 polygons were delineated in the South Fork Basin after aggregating the 

multiple GIS data coverages . The classification variables of soil permeability, soil storage capacity, and 

area of tree canopy were assigned to each polygon in 

the South Fork Basin. An equation was developed on 

the basis ofthe results of cluster analysis for the Middle 

Fork Basin to predict what HRU a particular polygon 

would be assigned based on the three previously mentioned variables . 

The 318 polygons in the South Fork Basin were 

assigned to either one of the three PERLND or the one 

IMPLND HRU on the basis of the following equation: 

HRU=bo +bj X

j,,filt+b2XIz, +b3Xtree, (1 ) 

where 

HRU is assigned a value of 1, 2, or 3 for 

each ofthe 318 polygons in the 

basin, 

Xinfilt is soil permeability (inches per 

hour), 

XIZI. is soil storage capacity (inches), 

Xt", is area of tree canopy (square feet), 

and 

bo, bl, b2, and b3 are weighing coefficients (table 3).

The HSPF model was initially setup and calibrated to data for the Middle Fork Basin of Beargrass 

Creek because of data availability . The model was 

confirmed by simulating runoff for the South Fork The authors acknowledge that this procedure for establishing the HRU's in the South Fork Basin may be a 

Basin. Although statistical results indicate that the 

potential source of error in the confirmation of the model did not simulate the hydrologic system as well

ages are not available, this is considered an acceptable the confirmation results indicate the calibrated HSPF

1 2 Continuous Hydrologic Simulation of Runoff for the Middle Fork and South Fork of the Beargrass Creek Basin 
The HSPEXP provides an alternative to numerical 

optimization (Liou, 1970; Shanholtz and Carr, 1975 ; 

Mein and Brown, 1978; Jacomino and Fields, 1997; Mag 

ette and others, 1976; Pierre, 1986) for refining parameter 

estimates . Numerical optimization tends to remove the 

modeler from the process of relating the model to the 

physical environment. In addition, multiple numerical 

solutions may be found for the same conditions. As a 

result, it is important that historical information about and 

the physical constraints of the hydrologic system be considered during model calibration. The HSPEXP source 

code provides a means to incorporate expert modeling 

experience with the HSPF system and knowledge of the 

prototype system into the calibration process . 

The convergence criteria used in application of 

the HSPEXP to minimize error differences of selected 

runoff characteristics and the respective acceptable dif 

ferences between simulated and observed characteristic 

values are presented in table 7. In the calculation of the 

storm statistics, 10 storms were identified as follows : 

March 5-9, 1992; March 17-21, 1992; May 2-5, 1992; 

May 29-June 3, 1992; June 15-20, 1992; July 26-31, 

1992; August 5-10, 1992; September 15-20, 1992; 

August 1-6,1993; and October 16-21, 1993. The acceptable differences applied in the calibration to runoff for 

the Middle Fork Beargrass Creek Basin are more stringent than the default values recommended by Lumb and 

others (1994) ; thus, the calibration obtained in this 

model is considered very good. The simulated and 

observed daily discharges for the Middle Fork Beargrass 

Creek Basin are shown in figures 5a-c. 

Model Confirmation 

The calibrated model parameters of the Middle 

Fork Basin were applied in the South Fork Basin of Beargrass Creek. The time period (June 1, 1991, to May 31, 

1994) for calibration and confirmation were the same; 

however, the two basins had only three precipitation gages 

in common, and those gages haddifferent area] weightings 

for each basin (table 2). The geometry and land uses also 

differed between basins (tables 4 and 5). The simulated 

and observed daily discharges for the South Fork Beargrass Creek Basin are shown in figures 6a-c. In the calculation of the storm statistics, 10 storms were identified as 

follows : March 5-14, 1992; March 17-27, 1992; 

May 2-13,1992 ; May 28-June 5,1992; June 17-25,1992; 

July 26-August 5, 1992; August 7-15, 1992; 

September 17-24, 1992; August 1-7, 1993; and 

October 16-21,1993. As indicated in table 8, figures 5a-c, 

and figures 6a-c, the confirmation simulation for the South 

Fork Basin cannot be considered as statistically accurate 

as the calibration simulation in the Middle Fork Basin.

Simulation Results and Errors 

Several model-fit statistics were calculated for the 

model calibration and confirmation (table 8). The absolute error is defined as the simulated value minus the 

observed value, and the relative error as the simulated 

value minus the observed value divided by the observed 

value (James and Burges, 1982). Two other statistics-the coefficient of model-fit efficiency (Nash and 

Sutcliffe, 1970) and the coefficient of determination 

(Mosteller and Tukey, 1977)-are provided principally 

as a basis to compare the models developed and applied 

here to other published models. The calibrated model for 

Middle Fork Basin was made to fit the observed streamflow data. Of the eight characteristics of the hydrograph 

compared, the differences between the observed and 

simulated runoff characteristics are all less than about 

8 percent (table 9). Differences in the observed and simulated low flows (lowest 50 percent of flows) of the confirmed South Fork model are nearly 10 times greater 

than these differences for the calibrated Middle Fork 

model. The differences in the observed and simulated 

summer storm volume for the confirmed South Fork 

model are nearly twice as large as those for the calibrated 

Middle Fork model. Still, errors in the simulated runoff 

for the South Fork model are not unreasonable considering that no calibration was done and all criteria were 

within the limits suggested by Lumb and others (1994). 

The other model fit statistics would generally classify 

the model results as good relative to the results of other 

studies summarized by Duncker and others (1995). 

Evaluation of the residuals indicates that large 

errors are predominantly associated with convective 

storms in summer and late snowfall events in the winter 

of 1994 (January 16 to February 10, 1994). The convective storms often produce locally heavy rainfall that 

may not be adequately estimated by the discrete rainfall 

network used in this study. Snowstorms of the magnitude observed in the winter of 1994 are rare in the Louisville area and do not justify incorporating simulation 

of snowmelt; their occurrence however, does have

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS 

A Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) river-basin model was developed for 

the Middle Fork Basin and South Fork Basin in the 

Beargrass Creek Basin in Jefferson County, Ky. The 

simulated period was June 1, 1991, to May 31, 1994.

Expert System (HSPEXP) was used to calibrate the 

model parameters . 

Meteorological data including precipitation and 

pan-evaporation were compiled. A variety of Geographic Information System (GIS) data coverages were 

developed and analyzed to delineate unique polygons 

within each model-grid cell. The polygons were aggregated using a K-means cluster analysis technique into 

four primary clusters (or groups). The clusters were 

classified according to their pervious (PERLND) or 

impervious (IMPLND) land uses and were defined as 

Hydrologic Response Units (HRU's). In the Middle 

1 8 Continuous Hydrologic Simulation of Runoff for the Middle Fork and South Fork of the Beargrass Creek Basin 
Fork Basin, 390 polygons were assigned to the 4 

HRU's. The HRU's designated as PERLND areas were 

lawn, wooded, and riparian areas. A fourth HRU, designated as IMPLND, included surfaces such as roads, 

parking lots, buildings, and similar structures. Each of 

the HRU's was further divided on the basis of land 

slope such that 12 land-cover/land-slope combinations 

were applied in the model. 

In the South Fork Basin, a surrogate method was 

devised to assign an HRU to a polygon based on an 

equation developed in the Middle Fork Basin that 

related the HRU to classification variables of soil permeability, soil-moisture storage capacity, and tree-canopy cover. A total of 318 polygons in the South Fork 

Basin were assigned to the 4 previously defined HRU's. 

An HSPF model was developed and calibrated 

for the Middle Fork Basin. The simulation results indicated that the calibration was adequate-model-simu 

lated runoff characteristics were within acceptable 

default criteria limits. The model calibrated for Middle 

Fork Basin was confirmed by applying it to the South 

Fork Basin. Though the confirmation results were not 

as good as for the Middle Fork Basin, the model was 

still adequate to evaluate simulation of daily flows in 

ungaged basins. This model could be used to calculate 

daily streamflow in an ungaged basin with similar land 

use/land cover where water-quality data are available 

to improve basin-load estimations.
