Soil Water Simulation after Glugla (Grid)

Author: O.Conrad (c) 2020
Menu: Simulation | Soil Hydrology

Description

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