Abstract
The surface flow routing component in a catchment model is responsible for modelling the transport or transfer of the excess rainfall volume generated in a catchment to the river channels. This chapter describes how the surface flow routing is conceptualized in catchment models, and presents some commonly used methods for modelling this component. The methods described include the unit hydrograph, linear reservoir, kinematic wave and diffusive wave. It also presents a short description of how the surface flow component is represented in 17 different catchment models reviewed for this chapter.
