The two lumped conceptual models (Xinanjiang model and PDM), a semi-distributed model (TOPMODEL) and a distributed physically based model (MIKE SHE) were compared and applied to the Upper Medway catchment in Kent, UK. And the simulation results of streamflow were analyzed by using the three models. The Nash efficiency coefficient R2 were 0.80, 0.85, 0.68 and 0.92, and the total runoff relatively error RE were -14%, 18%, 16% and -5%, respectively, for Xinanjiang model, PDM, TOPMODEL and MIKE SHE in the calibration (2003-2004). And R2 were 0.75, 0.92, 0.66 and 0.92, RE were -10%, -5%, 23% and -6% in the validation (2006-2007), respectively. It showed that MIKE SHE performs better than the other models (Xinanjiang model, PDM and TOPMODEL) for the catchment.
