A four‐parameter water yield model was calibrated on 17 Kentucky watersheds by relating the model parameters to watershed topographic, geologic, and soil characteristics. The relationships were tested by comparing observed and simulated runoff records from six watersheds that were not contained in the original 17 watersheds. The results show that the water yield model can be satisfactorily applied to ungaged basins.
