Abstract

All hydrological models are simplified representations of the real world. Models can be either physical (e.g. laboratory scale models), electrical analogue or mathematical. The physical and analogue models have been very important in the past. However, the mathematical group of models is by far the most easily and universally applicable, the most widespread and the one with the most rapid development with regard to scientific basis and application. The present book is devoted entirely to mathematical models.
