Flooded with information

Article Abstract:

Hydrological models are necessary because hydrological data is inadequate. However, care must be taken in interpreting models: limitations should be understood and physical properties must be considered. Improper interpretation can increase flood risk. Various types of hydrological models are discussed, including the Australian runoff routing model RORB.
