rainfall-runoff modeling

Rainfall-runoff modeling is a method used to predict how much water will flow from land areas into rivers or streams after it rains. It helps us understand how rainfall translates into surface water that moves across the land, considering factors like soil type, land slope, and vegetation. This modeling is essential for managing flood risks, designing drainage systems, and planning for water resources. By analyzing historical data and applying scientific principles, it provides estimates of runoff volumes and timings, aiding decision-making for flood prevention and water management strategies.
