Rainfall-Runoff Modelling (Benchmark Papers in Hydrology, Band 4) McDonnell, Jeffrey J. and Loague, Keith

Loague notes that hundreds, if not thousands, of hydrologic-response models have been developed, but that not all were created equal. This volume reprints 30 papers that exemplify the best in rainfall-runoff modelling. It charts developments from Mulvany's (1851) rational method for estimating peak flow, probably the first rainfall-runoff model, up to 1989. Benchmark papers on other empirical approaches, such as Sherman (1932) and Mockus (1949), are reprinted, as are Richards (1931) and Smith & Parlange (1978), the innovative contributions of Alan Freeze, and later Keith Beven, and the seminal papers of Moore & Clarke (1981) and Abbott et al. (1986).
