Tool Soil Water Simulation after Glugla (Table)

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 Hörmann (1998), "...covering the lowest, serious end of hydrologic computing".
