The Skuterud catchment is a small artificially drained agricultural catchment, located in south eastern Norway. The total area of the catchment is 4.5 km2 of which agriculture covers 2.7 km2, forest 1.3 km2 while the rest is occupied by urban area. The main agricultural crops are wheat, barley and oat. Climate change can potentially lead to an increase in the number of freeze/thaw cycles which in addition to the predicted increase in precipitation during the period after the growing season from September April, might lead to an increase in both the amount of runoff and its intensity, with subsequent adverse effects on erosion and nutrient loss. Models are indispensable tools in the prediction of climate change effects on runoff generation. In this respect, the Drainmod model has been tested on the Skuterud catchment concerning its ability to predict runoff from an artificially drained agricultural catchment under prevailing winter conditions. The results are presented in this paper. If proven successful, the model can be used to predict the long term hydrologic impacts of climate change for the Norwegian conditions.
