Abstract: The objective of this three-part work is the formulation and rigorous analysis of a number of reduced mathematical models that are nevertheless capable of describing the hydrology at the scale of a river basin (i.e. catchment). Coupled effects of surface and subsurface flows are considered. In this second part, we construct a benchmark catchment scenario and investigate the effects of parameters within their typical ranges. Previous research on coupled surface-subsurface models have focused on numerical simulations of site-specific catchments; here our focus is broader and emphasises the study of general solutions to the mathematical models, and their dependencies on dimensionless parameters. This study provides a foundation based on the examination of a geometrically simple three-dimensional benchmark scenario. We develop a nondimensional coupled surface-subsurface model, and extract the key dimensionless parameters. We then apply asymptotic methods in order to discuss some potential simplifications, including the reduction of the geometry to a two-dimensional form, where the principal groundwater and overland flows occur in the hillslope direction. Numerical solutions demonstrate the effects of model parameters and provide guidance on the validity of the dimensional reductions.
