%X <span>Due to chaotic nature of flow in natural open channels</span><span> and</span><span> the physical processes and the unknown in a river basin variable, </span><span>the </span><span>parameters to be used in studying the behavior of river basin to a given rainfall data cannot be measured directly for this reason, a hydrological model was calibrated and applied to simulate the hydrology of Kaduna River (7112 sq miles) North West Nigeria. Prior to the model calibration, a sensitivity analysis of the hydrognomon model to the parameters was carried out to gain a better understanding of the correspondence between the data and the physical processes being modeled.</span><span></span>
