River Flow Model (RFM) is a runoff routing model based on a discrete approximation of the one-directional kinematic wave with lateral inflow (Bell et al., 2007, Dadson et al., 2011).
The wave equation is parametrised differently for surface and sub-surface pathways, themselves split into a land domain, and a river domain. Return flow is also possible between surface and sub-surface pathways in each domain.
This Python implementation of RFM is based on the work by Huw Lewis.
