There are many small catchments in Norway which has faced disastrous flash floods in recent years but because of dysfunctional gauging station at the moment or being ungauged catchment, it is difficult to identify the hydrologic properties of the floods later on for research or other purposes.
One of the solution for this problem is to regionalize the hydrologic parameters of the ungauged catchment by comparing it to a gauged catchment having similar characteristics.
This research will mainly focus on the small and steep Norwegian catchments and learning to use the ShyFT model for the hydrologic modelling for these catchments but the research is not bound to use only this model, the student can use another suitable model too.
