Summary

Lai Giang River basin, Central Vietnam The Digital Elevation Models (DEM) is essential in hydrological modeling and water cycle understanding. There are several unanswered questions regarding the impact of DEM on the models’ quality of hydrological applications. This study develops a comprehensive framework for evaluating impacts of six global DEM products: MERIT, NASA, SRTM, ASTER GDEM2, AW3D30, and TanDEM-X using the semi-distributed model SWAT for the Lai Giang River basin, Central Vietnam, in which four criteria have been used (i) statistical analysis, (ii) river basin characteristics, (iii) effects of DEM uncertainty on streamflow using hydrological simulations, and (iv) cross-validation’s impacts on hydrological applications. (1) NASA and SRTM 30 DEM were ranked as most accurate DEMs
