The conceptual rainfall runoff model TAC (tracer aided catchment model) has
been developed based on the experimental results of a tracer hydrological
investigation for the mountainous Brugga basin (39.9 km2). The model contai
ns an extensive physically realistic description of the runoff generation,
which includes seven unit types each with characteristic dominating runoff
generation processes. These processes are conceptualised by different linea
r and non-linear reservoir concepts. The model is applied to a period of 3.
2 years with good success. In addition, the model is validated with additio
nal information, e.g, trace; concentrations, beside to the simulated discha
