Runoff model (reservoir)
Videos
A runoff models or rainfall-runoff model describes how rainfall is converted into runoff in a drainage basin. More precisely, it produces a surface runoff hydrograph in response to a rainfall event, r

The Nash Model uses a cascade of linear reservoirs to predict streamflow. Software for this model exists.
Hydrological model

A hydrologic model is a simplification of a real-world system that aids in understanding, predicting, and managing water resources. Both the flow and quality of water are commonly studied using hydrol
Runoff model (reservoir)
…be determined from the characteristics of the watershed (catchment area), the reservoir can be used as a deterministic model or analytical model, see hydrological modelling. Otherwise, the factor A can be determined from a data record of rainfall and runoff using the method explained below under non-linear reservoir. With…
