Tool Soil Water Simulation after Glugla (Grid)

A simple model for daily soil water simulation based on the approach of Glugla (1969).

This is a re-implementation of the formulas used in the 'Simpel' model developed by Hoermann (1998), "...covering the lowest, serious end of hydrologic computing".
