The time series needs to be continuous (free of gaps) and preferably with a long period (10+ years) of record. |
Selecting stream flow data to use in a river-basin scale simulation study needs information about the reliability of the data. It is best to use data which are most representative of the stream flow from the catchment. Observed data would normally be selected, except where the data are of poor quality or of unknown reliability. |

The model outputs time series of quick flow (catchment surface runoff depth) and slow flow (catchment subsurface runoff depth). Note that results are converted from depths to volumes before being output by multiplying by the catchment area.
