: This study aims to investigate the impact of spatial rainfall distribution scenarios from ground observation stations on runoff simulation using hydrological modeling specific to the Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) model. The RRI model was applied with six different spatial distribution scenarios of input rainfall, including Inverse Distance Weight (IDW), Thiessen polygon (TSP), Surface Polynomial (SPL), Simple kriging (SKG), and Ordinary kriging (OKG), to simulate the runoff of a 13,000 km 2 watershed, namely the Nan River Basin in Thailand. This study utilized data from the 2014 storm event, incorporating temporal information from 28 rainfall stations to estimate rainfall in the spatial distribution scenarios. The six statistics, Volume Bias, Peak Bias, Root Mean Square Error, Correlation, and Mean Bias, were used to determine the accuracy of the estimated rainfall and runoff. Overall, the Simple kriging (SKG) method outperformed the other scenarios based on the statistical values to validate with measured rainfall data. Similarly, SKG demonstrated the closest match between simulated and observed runoff, achieving the highest correlation (0.803), the lowest Root Mean Square Error (164.48 cms), and high Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency coefficient (0.499) values. This research underscores the practical significance of spatial interpolation methods, such as SKG, in combination with digital elevation models (DEMs) and landuse/soil type datasets, in delivering reliable runoff simulations considering the RRI model on the river basin scale.
