So im fairly new to hydrologic models and so have been doing a lot of reading between the different types. Now I have become aware of the main advantages/disadvantages of some of the different model tupes like lumped, semi-distributed and distributed. But how do you way the pros and cons of models that fall into the same type.
Specifically im currently trying looking at the HBV and Urbs models and without going heavily into the math of each I don't know how to figure out which one is better suited for modeling flooding.
Does anyone have any advice or straight out know the answer.
(I also have TopModel, Vflow and Hype on my list of models I want to look at so if anyonw has experience with hydrologic modeling and can give their experiences with any models they've used i'd really appreciate it.)
