Runoff models

Runoff models are tools used to estimate how much rain or water from a storm flows over the land and eventually reaches rivers, lakes, or oceans. They help predict water movement by considering factors like rainfall amount, land slope, soil type, and land cover. These models are essential for managing floods, designing drainage systems, and planning water resources. They use mathematical formulas and data to simulate how surface water responds to rainfall, providing valuable insights into water behavior during different weather conditions.
