Abstract
This chapter describes basic definitions, classification of models into various categories, with procedures for solving water resources engineering problems using hydrological models. Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS), Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), and Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) are discussed with mathematical background. Brief information about MIKE-based models are also part of the chapter. The reader is expected to understand various hydrological models along with their applicability by studying this chapter.
