Assessment of Lumped, Quasi-Distributed and Distributed Hydrologic Models of the US Army Corps of Engineers

The conceptual or computational procedure for numerically simulating a process(s) which occur in a watershed is generally called hydrologic modeling. Modeling is commonly used to estimate runoff from a watershed, which is one of the most important aspects of any hydraulic and hydrologic design project. One of the widely used applications of these estimates is to determine the design or flood discharge of a watershed. While useful, any simulation model is a simplification of the real world processes and parameters. Because of these simplifications, there is a range of suitable problems for which models can be applied.
