Abstract. The Oueme watersheds at Beterou and Bonou has been recently facing increased sensitivity to extreme hydroclimatic phenomena that occurred by flooding or drought events. In the same time, the population growth and the related
socio-economic activities increased the pressure state on water resources.
In this context, hydrological modeling is an important issue and this study
aims at analyzing the calibration of the hydrological model GR4J based on
PET Penman-Monteith and Oudin methods. Daily rainfall, Penman-Monteith and
Oudin evapotranspiration and daily data flow from the Beterou and
Bonou hydrometric stations on the Oueme Basin have been implemented
in the GR4J model over the period 1971 to 2010. Oudin PET values are
slightly higher than the Penman-Monteith PET ones. However, the difference
between the two PET methods have only few impacts on the optimization and
performance criteria of the GR4J model. The Nash values ranges from 0.83 to
0.91 in Bonou, and 0.52 to 0.70 in Beterou for the calibration in
dry period, while in validation, they are 0.59 to 0.78 in Beterou,
and 0.56 to 0.88 in Bonou in wet season. In view of these results, with the
two PET methods used which do not result from the same climatic variables,
it should be said that the formulation of PET has only few impacts on the
results of GR4J for these tropical basins.
