The subject of rainfall-runoff modeling involves a wide spectrum of
topics. Fundamental to each topic is the problem of accurately
computing runoff at a point given rainfall data at another point.
The fact that there is currently no one universally accepted
approach to computing runoff, given rainfall data, indicates that a
purely deter ministic solution to the problem has not yet been
found. The technology employed in the modern rainfall-runoff models
has evolved substantially over the last two decades, with computer
models becoming increasingly more complex in their detail of
describing the hydrologic and hydraulic processes which occur in
the catchment. But despite the advances in including this
additional detail, the level of error in runoff estimates (given
rainfall) does not seem to be significantly changed with increasing
model complexity; in fact it is not uncommon for the model's level
of accuracy to deteriorate with increasing complexity. In a latter
section of this chapter, a literature review of the
state-of-the-art in rainfall-runoff modeling is compiled which
includes many of the concerns noted by rainfall-runoff modelers.
The review indicates that there is still no deterministic solution
to the rainfall-runoff modeling problem, and that the error in
runoff estimates produced from rainfall-runoff models is of such
magnitude that they should not be simply ignored."
