                         for understanding many hydrological processes in watersheds. 
                         Considering it, this study aims to use a geomorphology map 
                         (Geomorphons) as an input to a physically based hydrological model 
                         (Distributed Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model (DHSVM)) in a 
                         mountainous headwater watershed. A sensitivity analysis of five 
                         soil parameters was evaluated for streamflow simulation in each 
                         Geomorphons feature. As infiltration and saturation excess 
                         overland flow are important mechanisms for streamflow generation 
                         in complex terrain watersheds, the models input soil parameters 
                         were most sensitive in the slope, hollow, and valley features. 
                         Thus, the simulated streamflow was compared with observed data for 
                         calibration and validation. The model performance was satisfactory 
                         and equivalent to previous simulations in the same watershed using 
                         pedological survey and moisture zone maps. Therefore, the results 
                         from this study indicate that a geomorphologically based map is 
                         applicable and representative for spatially distributing 
                         hydrological parameters in the DHSVM.",
