Two flow routing methods are available to model travel time and attenuation in links: pure lag or translation, and a generalised streamflow storage routing method, which can represent linear, non-linear, and variable parameter Muskingum routing (details on all these are available in Link storage routing - SRG). In the routing algorithm, river water (in-bank flow) fills the dead storage in a reach first before propagating through the reach. Overbank flow is considered for modelling interactions between surface water and groundwater. The surface water-groundwater (SW-GW) interaction component in Source (see Groundwater Analytical Tool - SRG for details) is integrated into the river network through links. (Extracted from Welsh, et al, 2013, with adaptations to suit the needs of the SRG.)
Source has 14 a number of node types available and these are listed in Nodes - SRG, together with an overview of the processes modelled at each node type and references to where details on each node type can be found.
