Five mathematical models for predicting subsurface flow were compared to discharge measurements made by Hewlett and Hibbert (1963) on a uniform sloping soil trough at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory. The models included one- and two-dimensional finite element models based on the Richards equation, a kinematic wave model, and two simple storage-discharge models based on the kinematic wave and Boussinesq assumptions. The simple models simulated the subsurface response and water table positions as well as the more complex models based on the Richards equation and were much more economical to use from the point of view of computational costs. Such models have features that would allow them to be incorporated into more complex watershed models, thus placing hydrologic prediction on a more physically correct and less empirical footing.
